Gather Requirements → 4. Plan → 5. Auth → 6. Environment → 7. Scaffold → 8. Add Data Sources → 9. Implement App → 10. Local Dev → 11. Summary → 12. Memory Bank Update Critical principle: when this skill ends and the user opens the local URL, they must see a functional app — connectors wired, screens implemented per the approved plan — not a bare template. Adding data sources and implementing the UI happen inside this skill, before ms app dev
