Capture a workflow.
The source workflow is the moat. Capture the work as it is actually performed, including intermediate decisions and corrections, before turning it into a task.
What to capture
capture record:
screenshots: before, intermediate, after
actions: click, type, key, scroll, file operation
artifacts: files, exports, messages, rows, records
state labels: what changed and why it matters
outcome: final state the grader can inspectStart state
The account, app state, file state, seed data, and visible UI before work begins.
Action trace
The actions that matter for solving, not every noisy mouse movement.
Decisions
The checks, comparisons, corrections, and judgment calls that make the workflow valuable.
Final state
The state or artifact that proves the work was completed.
Normalize the trace
State-changing actions, meaningful observations, errors, recoveries, and artifacts used to verify the outcome.
Dead cursor movement, repeated clicks with no state change, idle time, and unrelated private content.
Step intent, changed state, failed attempts, sensitive fields removed, and verifier-relevant artifacts.
Quality bar
A capture is ready when another reviewer can tell what goal was attempted, what changed, why the final state is correct, and what evidence the grader should inspect.
