Why it actually worked
4 things that made a one-hour rebuild realistic
Draft sandboxes
Every change previewed in a draft. Nothing touched the live site until it was reviewed and approved.
Browser feedback loops
The AI rendered pages, checked results visually, and self-corrected without waiting on a human.
Intentional editability
Only the right fields were made editable. Everything else stayed locked to the design.
Composable skills
Purpose-built skills for theming, images, and content chained together without losing context.
