Overview
The poster had Cowork read their own Reddit post and then search the web for how to try making an app again.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: An agent reads a user's prior failure logs (e.g., Reddit posts) and searches the web for solutions. Upon identifying the issue, the agent uses terminal access via a desktop extension to attempt a rebuild. The human defines the scope and approves the execution of terminal commands.
Reported result
The source claims a working app version was achieved after four months of prior failures, with the agent completing the task in one to two hours. However, the source is inaccessible (HTTP 403), so these metrics are unverified. A measurable acceptance check would be: 'Does the agent produce a compilable build artifact within 2 hours?'
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include granting the agent terminal and file system access, which poses significant security risks. The source reliability is low due to the 403 error and lack of verifiable logs. Human approval is strictly required before executing any terminal commands to prevent system damage.
Try it
Act as a development assistant. I will provide my previous failed build logs and error messages in [replaceable_logs.txt]. First, analyze these logs to identify the root cause. Second, search the web for known issues related to [replaceable_tech_stack] and [replaceable_error_code]. Third, propose a fix. Do not execute any terminal commands yet. Wait for my explicit confirmation. Once confirmed, use the terminal to apply the fix and attempt a rebuild. Output the final build status and any new errors. If the build fails, stop and report the new error without retrying automatically. Ensure you ask for clarification if the logs are incomplete.
