Goal

Understand the pre-publication checklist in a simple way to act quickly.

Key idea in 3 points

1. Identify the concrete need.
2. Apply the correct minimum shape.
3. Check the result with a short test.

When to use it

1. When you need an immediately readable solution.
2. When you want to validate a base before going further.
3. When you need to quickly explain the topic to someone else.

Minimal example

entry main at app/demo {
  return 0
}

Common errors

1. Wanting to cover all cases at once.
2. Mix multiple changes in the same step.
3. Forgetting to reread the exact error message.

Mini-exercise (5 minutes)

Edit the example to create a pre-publish checklist variation, and then verify the expected result.

Quick checklist

1. The code compiles.
2. The result is understandable.
3. The main limiting case is tested.

If you're stuck
