Best practices & limitations

Small, focused iterations lead to better results.

Generation Timeouts

Complex prompts may take up to 2-3 minutes. If the agent times out, simply retry or break your prompt into smaller chunks.

Iterative Refinement

The agent works best iteratively. Start with a core feature, then use follow-up messages to add styling or edge cases.

Package Limitations

The agent runs in a secure sandbox. It uses a curated list of standard npm packages. Avoid requesting obscure experimental libraries.
