ROLE: AI-Native “Vibe” Coder (Long-Term)

TOOLS (Mandatory): Bolt, Lovable, Replit, Cursor (experience required)

SUMMARY
We’re a venture studio seeking an AI-native developer with deep hands-on experience in the platforms above. This engagement begins with an unpaid screening task (Task 1). If successful, you’ll proceed to paid, fixed-price milestones (Tasks 2–4) and become a go-to developer for steady future work.

PROJECT CONTEXT
We’ve done the heavy lifting on a client project: integrating timesheets into the Xero API. The entire solution is mapped out in the PRD (link below). Your job is to leverage AI to digest the PRD and accelerate the build for maximum speed and efficiency. We know exactly what’s required and need an expert who can rapidly assemble the pre-defined components.

APPLICATION TASKS & MILESTONES
• Task 1 (Unpaid Screening):
Build a simple page with a “Connect to Xero” button that completes the OAuth 2.0 flow.
– You’ll need a dummy/demo Xero account to test. Instructions are in the PRD.

• Task 2 (Paid Milestone):
Use AI to write a script that processes the three sample timesheet files into the required JSON format.

• Task 3 (Paid Milestone):
Add a “Submit” button that posts the JSON from Task 2 to the Xero Timesheets API.

• Task 4 (Paid Milestone):
Combine all pieces into a clean, final UI.
