Field notes
The homepage includes a shortened sample timeline and matching HTML screen: steps use CSS selectors to highlight, click, type, and zoom into interface elements. It also presents a 21-second MP4, subtitles, and guide outputs in Markdown, HTML, and JSON, giving a concrete sense of the generated artifacts. Installation instructions add Vistaro as a development dependency and install Playwright Chromium; the page says the coding agent’s files remain ordinary repository changes for review.
