      "summary": "A live ZABAL Gamez fireside between Zaal and Carlos (Plat0x, the Bonfires developer). Half working-session - the Bonfires rewrite (deadline June 14), ZAO's second Bonfire agent, auto-pushing context to the Bonfire on every git commit, and the positioning of Bonfires as a 'sense-making tool' where the agent is the librarian of a library - and half vibe-coding masterclass for the builder track: plan-then-goal with a measurable threshold, Bob-and-Alice diagramming before code, types-first prompting with a protocol/adapter contract, documentation-as-code, the Linus Torvalds compiler analogy, and Carlos's three skills (plan-making, sub-agents, adversarial agents).",

        "Prompt types-first ('define types in Python for an app that does X') and use a protocol/adapter contract so you can swap the database later without a rewrite.",
