Built a tiny CLI called lmove that drives vanilla LLMs with structured prompts in YAML/XML and uses prompt-as-spec instead of re-sending prior source. A workflow of small loops plus unit and end‑to‑end tests lets the model generate 20 utility functions, place files by path, and pass automated tests; surprising finding: the prompt and API definition alone often suffice. Rule: never ship code that cannot be debugged locally.
