Why
Describe the exact tool you need in one line, say an interval timer or this week's word flashcards, and get it running on your phone: small software for one person, with no app store in between.
How
Generated tools vary a lot, even for the same request, and a model asked to pick the best one reads the code without ever running it, so broken builds slip through. So three candidates build in parallel, each in its own sandbox. Scripted browser checks decide whether each one works, with no model judgment; a model scores only usability and design. Any candidate that fails the function checks drops out, and the winner deploys and opens on the phone from a QR code.


Outcome
I was selected for the hackathon in San Francisco and demoed Oneline live, with Q&A, before four industry judges. I built it with four Claude Code terminals, one per role.
