# Change card

Use one card per change. Copy the box, fill it in, paste it into the chat. The ten minutes spent being specific saves an hour of cleanup.

```
Change: [ONE SENTENCE: WHAT SHOULD BE DIFFERENT]

Right now: [WHAT HAPPENS NOW, OR WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW]

I want: [WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN INSTEAD]
1. [DETAIL]
2. [DETAIL]

Don't change: [THE PARTS THAT ALREADY WORK AND SHOULD STAY EXACTLY AS
THEY ARE]

When you're done, tell me exactly what you changed and how I can check it.
```

## Good changes are small

| Too big | One change |
| --- | --- |
| Make it look better | Make the Add button bigger and move it under the list |
| Add accounts and sharing and a dark mode | Add a dark mode that follows my phone's setting |
| Fix the bugs | When I delete the last item, the page goes blank. It should say "Nothing here yet" |

## After each change

- [ ] I tried the new thing.
- [ ] I tried the old things too, because sometimes a change breaks something else.
- [ ] It works, so I saved this version.
- [ ] Or it doesn't, so I'm going back to the last saved version instead of piling on fixes.
