Spark Project Management Build Report
Some of you might find this useful. It's a build report on a major update I made to my internal chatbot assistant "Spark". I designed it outside of Claude Code, in conversations with a project I have that simulates a "council of advisors", then I used the autonomous mode with the plan we had produced. Hope it's helpful for someone:
How a strategic conversation designed a system, AI built it autonomously, and then stress-tested its own work – all in a single day.
This report documents a real build session from early February 2026. In a single evening, a strategic conversation identified over 30,000 euros in revenue that wasn’t being properly tracked, designed a five-category business taxonomy from first principles, and produced a full technical specification. Then autonomous AI agents built, tested, and hardened the entire system – over 800 tests, around 7,000 lines of code, no human code written. I ended up with a powerful but secure AI assistant that can help me manage my projects through a chat.
A freelance developer might have quoted me for 3-4 weeks to build this, or I could have gone down a rabbit hole for several weeks doing it myself. But the honest answer is I never would have built it at all.
Here’s how it happened, and what I learned:
