ForgeKubo · WorkSmart Autosteer

From product realignment to a live, smoother field demo.

Devin set the experience direction; ForgeBot turned it into a durable plan, shipped the first phase, simplified the controls, rebuilt the camera system, and corrected vehicle motion. The result is a substantially clearer touch-first demo—not a finished Kubota-faithful simulator yet.

Executive Takeaway

The last 48 hours converted a loosely defined prototype into a directed product effort with explicit rules: persistent open-world play, restartable coaching, real-machine behavior as a mandate, camera-aware tablet presentation, and the Kubota M7-154 as the durable vehicle target. Implementation is live and test-backed; reference fidelity and measured 60 FPS remain the main proof gaps.

What moved

01

Intent locked

Devin answered three compact decision sets covering demo mode, lesson flow, persistence, cameras, tablet treatment, fidelity, field behavior, and gamification.

02

Plan made durable

The approved user-experience realignment plan was reconciled against the simulator and creative brief, then saved into the ForgeKubo project.

03

Phase 1 shipped

World progress persists safely; guidance can restart; controls neutralize on handoff/reload; environment materials and authored machine framing were restored.

04

Interface simplified

Title, handoff, speed, and discovery chrome were removed. Guidance, field overlay, settings, help, attachment, steering, and engage controls now use the available space more clearly.

05

Motion corrected

Acceleration, steering, rolling/turning wheels, cab-mounted camera, and articulated mower became frame-rate independent. Scene complexity was sharply reduced.

Live visual evidence

Readiness and watch items

Ready now

  • Persistent open-world foundation and restartable six-step introduction are live.
  • Cab → Chase → Aerial → Top uses a continuous touch slider with tappable stops.
  • Tablet/field overlay transitions with camera context.
  • Frame-independent vehicle movement and articulated attachment behavior are implemented.
  • Production driving checks passed in cab and chase with no console errors.

Not yet proven

  • Exact 60 FPS is not certified; background Chrome throttling invalidated the measurement.
  • The current tractor/cab geometry remains provisional against the M7-154 M7-4 fidelity target.
  • The live cab view is dark and visually crowded; it was deliberately excluded from the selected evidence set.
  • The WorkSmart tablet still needs authoritative 1:1 references and Kubota acceptance.
  • Final terminology, warnings, procedures, and equipment data still require Kubota approval.

Where Adam complements Devin best

Clear evidence gapsSecure or adjudicate the M7-154 cab, control, steering, hitch, and WorkSmart tablet references Devin needs to stop designing around provisional assumptions.
Protect decision boundariesLet Devin own experience direction and iteration priority; use directed ForgeBot work for reference recovery, acceptance criteria, technical risk, and verification—not parallel redesign.
Turn feedback into gatesConvert executive/client reactions into a short acceptance sheet for machine fidelity, tablet fidelity, lesson pacing, camera behavior, and performance proof.

Alignment questions for Adam

1. Adam’s primary contribution lane

A. Clear evidence, constraints, and executive tradeoffs (recommended)
B. Co-direct UX and visual iteration with Devin
C. Own technical architecture and performance
D. Stay out unless Devin raises a blocker

2. First ForgeBot-directed effort for Adam

A. Build the M7-154 + WorkSmart reference gap and acceptance sheet (recommended)
B. Produce a polished end-to-end lesson review
C. Certify motion and frame-rate performance
D. Prototype the pinwheel/coverage gamification

3. Decision boundary with Devin

A. Devin owns experience; Adam resolves evidence and hard constraints (recommended)
B. Adam approves every UX increment
C. Adam owns camera/vehicle behavior; Devin owns lesson/UI
D. ForgeBot decides implementation and reports exceptions

4. Review cadence

A. Two annotated review sets per week, async (recommended)
B. Daily review of each change
C. One review at each phase boundary
D. Review only before client exposure

5. Seven-day success definition

A. Reference gaps closed and acceptance criteria agreed (recommended)
