Live Product Grounding (agent-native)
Field = the running product and its repo — not physical site visits.
Sources
| Source | Use |
|---|
| Repo | Routes, components, surfaces[].source |
base_url walkthrough | Real navigation, states, errors |
| User-provided captures | Screenshots, logs, support tickets |
Ground every screen and operation claim in evidence or mark assumption.
When to run
- Design — map existing UI before extending contract
- Verify — compare live behavior to
run.json
Anti-patterns
- Ethnography logistics — travel, recruitment, consent forms
- Design from memory — screens not tied to repo or walkthrough
