The AI clerk approved a 41 cm dragon. Your job is to stamp DENIED.

devto 2026-10-02 원문 보기 ↗

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path Two: Vibe-Code Something Strange

What I Built

The Bureau of Imaginary Permits: a pixel-art inspection-booth game about bureaucracy for things that don't exist, running on real Sanity Workflows.

You take the window. Applicants step up one at a time, wanting a Licence to Whistle on Tuesdays, a Permit to Keep a Small Dragon (Indoor), or the Deed to a Medium-Sized Cloud. They slide over their papers: an application, a Citizen Card with a photo, sometimes a licence they already hold.

Every file arrives already passed by Clerk Third Class, an AI. Its memo sits on your desk: "Named dragon, licensed puddle on file, fire plan mentions water. In order." The clerk is tired, though. The dragon is 41 cm, and the Rulebook says 35. You pull out the stamp tray, slam DENIED into the box, and hand the papers back.

That is the Workflows bonus prompt played straight: "an agent can move a draft forward and a person can approve it." Here the agent always moves it forward, and the person is the only thing standing between a forged Citizen Card and a Licence to Look Up.

Behind the window there is a real citizen side. Anyone can file a permit:

Bureau of Imaginary Permits

A pixel-art inspection-booth game about bureaucracy for things that don't exist, built on Sanity Workflows.

Play: https://bureau-of-imaginary-permits.vercel.app/shift (no account needed)

You take the window. Applicants step up one by one, wanting a Licence to Whistle on Tuesdays, a Permit to Keep a Small Dragon (Indoor), or the Deed to a Medium-Sized Cloud. Each hands over a Citizen Card, an application, and sometimes a licence they already hold.

The AI clerk has already passed every file. The clerk is tired. Your job is to compare the papers against the Rulebook and the day's bulletin, stamp APPROVED or DENIED, and hand them back. Wrong stamps print a citation. Day 2 changes the rules.

There is also a real citizen side. Anyone can file a permit: a real AI clerk (Gemini) reads it, a second AI (the Ministry of Weather) rules on anything in the sky, and human…

My Build Process

IDE: Claude Code (Opus 5.5) in a Windows terminal. I typed very little, and that's the honest shape of this build. Claude wrote, ran and tested everything, and kept a BUILD-LOG.md as it went. This section comes from that log.

Every prompt that changed the direction

  1. "go path two". Claude came back with three strange ideas that could use both bonus areas. I picked the Bureau.
  2. "don't open the browser, tell us what you need and we'll provide it". Mid-build, Claude started driving my Chrome to test the dashboard app. I stopped it, and from then on it asked me for screenshots.
  3. After the first version shipped: "we should first redesign the application it looks too vibecoded (colors, fonts ...) we should gamify it, it should follow the "Papers, Please" game design it should have a stamp approval/denial stamping animation". Claude asked three questions:
    • Who does the visitor play? The inspector.
    • How is a stamp scored? Against planted discrepancies, with the truth stored in Sanity.
    • How far does the redesign go? A full pixel-art booth.

That's it. Everything else below is what an agent did with those sentences, including where it went wrong.

Version 1: a government office (and why I threw its look away)

The first build was a tasteful government-forms site: paper colours, a serif, rubber-stamp CSS. It worked end to end, but it looked like every other "nice" AI-built site. That was my second "too vibecoded" across two challenge entries, so the brief became: commit to a world.

Workflows: almost hand-rolled, then the real thing

Claude's first plan was to model the process itself, with a workflow type holding stages[] and transitions[]. Before writing it, it followed the "Workflows" link in the challenge post and found @sanity/workflow-engine (early access, on npm):

The hand-rolled schema was dropped. There are now four chains, all data:

Chain Steps
express-permit AI clerk only
standard-permit AI clerk, then one human stamp
sky-permit AI clerk, Ministry of Weather AI, Under-Secretary, Minister
booth-inspection Straight to the window: the game

how it works

The game is real workflow traffic

Starting a shift turns the day's scripted case documents into real applications, each governed by a booth-inspection instance. Your stamp is a real fireAction. The server then scores it from the decision the engine recorded on the instance, checked against case.truth. The browser never reports its own score. Day sheets are shift documents, which is the leaderboard.

Honesty note: the clerk memos on scripted applicants are authored, not generated. Every file at the window arrives "passed" because that's the premise. If the real clerk saw those files, it would reject them, and they'd never reach you. The citizen side uses the real AI clerk.

Where it got stuck, and how it got unstuck

After the fix, it quotes the answer that fails ("'Any time she fancies' fails the rule…") and accepts a correct reply.

Original art, no assets

The App SDK Stamp Desk

Citizen files that reach a human desk land in the Stamp Desk, a React app deployed into the Sanity dashboard and built on @sanity/workflow-sdk:

I checked a real stamp on the instance. The approve row is signed by my own Sanity user with executionContext: {kind: "sdk", runtime: "browser"}. The website's server token signs its rows as bureau-web. The move to issued was committed by the same browser session: the engine runs the cascade inside fireAction, so a human stamp needs no server.

# Sanity Workflows Quick Start

## Prerequisites
- Node.js 20.12 or later
- Active Sanity project with writable dataset
- One published document (note its `_id` and `_type`)

## Installation

Install both packages at the same version (0.33.0 or later):

```bash
npm install @sanity/workflow-engine @sanity/workflow-cli
```

Authenticate via CLI:
```bash
npx sanity@latest login
```

For CI environments, set `SANITY_AUTH_TOKEN` instead.

## Minimal Workflow Definition

Create `workflows/article-review.ts`:

```typescript
import {
  defineAction,
  defineActivity,
  defineField,
  defineStage,
  defineTransition,
  defineWorkflow,
} from '@sanity/workflow-engine/define'

export const articleReview = defineWorkflow({

# @sanity/workflow-engine

Workflow / BPM engine for Sanity content. Define workflows as data, run them as
instances against a Sanity client, gate transitions on GROQ filters, and queue
effects for runtimes to drain.

> **Status:** Pre-1.0 and publicly available on npm. The API may change between
> minor versions.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @sanity/workflow-engine
```

## Fields vs Sanity schema fields

A workflow **field** is the engine's state primitive: a typed value a workflow
instance carries — an assignee, a decision, a due date, a reference to the
document under review. Fields are declared in `fields: [...]` at workflow,
stage, or activity scope and live on the workflow **instance** document. They
are not Sanity schema fields: they never touch your content documents' shape.

The authoring DSL deliberately borrows Sanity's schema idiom, so
`@sanity/workflow-engine/define` exports its own `defineField`. A Studio file
that also imports `defineField` from `sanity` should alias one of them:

```ts
import {defineField as defineWorkflowField} from '@sanity/workflow-engine/define'
```

The `fields` key itself appears at four nesting levels, meaning something
different at … [9213 chars trimmed]

Status: Sanity Workflows is a real npm engine (@sanity/workflow-engine 0.36, early access). I'm reading its API so the permit approval chains run on the actual engine and aren't hand-rolled.

# AI Content Pipeline: Workflow Architecture & Implementation

## Pipeline Overview

This Sanity workflow implements a five-stage AI content approval system where agents draft and verify content while humans intervene only when automated checks flag issues.

### Stages

The pipeline progresses through: **Drafting** → **Automated Checks** → **Human Verification** (conditional) → **Publishing** → **Published**.

  defineActivity,
  defineField,
  defineStage,

# @sanity/workflow-sdk

Reactive workflow adapter over the **App SDK** store. `useWorkflowSession`
drives an `@sanity/workflow-engine` session from `getDocumentState`
(optimistic, per-doc) and returns
`{evaluation, ready, invalid, error, guards, tick, fireAction, editField, previewField, discardFieldPreview}`.
`useWorkflowInstances` / `useDocumentWorkflows` are live instance lists
(filterable collection / per-document discovery) read from the engine's state
dataset via `getQueryState`, each returning `{instances, loading, unreadable, error}` —
rows the read discipline refuses are skipped from `instances` and flagged in
`unreadable`, so one bad row can't sink the listing.
The session's `invalid` is the explicit validation state (a model-ahead doc
needs a newer `@sanity/workflow-engine`; a shape violation is a corrupt
stored tree) — surfaced as state instead of a throw, never `ready` while set.
SDK state-source throws are normalized into the same reactive observer state;
`error` clears when a later live emission succeeds.

  [clerk/incomplete] Dear Ms. Thrupp, Harold sounds delightful, yet your application falters. Regulations state descriptions 'must include how long it has been in residence,' and haunting hours must be specific. As Harold’s consent remains uncertain, please complete Form 88-H. The Bureau requires order, even from Victorian gentlemen who sigh at kettles. We await your timely revision. (form 88-H)
  [clerk/incomplete] Dear Ms. Thrupp, Harold's frosty signature is noted, but the file remains unsettled. The rules state descriptions 'must include how long it has been in residence' and hours must be specific. As your own observations are incomplete, perhaps a local avian witness can provide the necessary details? Please submit Form 9-Ω. (form 9-Ω)

  [clerk/complete] Mr Quince, your schedule for Mrs Pell is now entirely acceptable. The spoons may rattle in peace between seven and nine. Your Licence to Be Haunted is hereby approved. Do try to keep her away from the good silver.

- **Public site (Next.js 16)** written in one pass: catalogue, application form, live file page, officials' desk, and "How it works". The file page polls the instance: every 1.5 s while an agent works, every 4 s otherwise. Its movement log is built from `instance.history`, and each transition shows the GROQ `when` that fired it, read from the definition snapshot pinned on the instance.
- **Visual direction:** a government form, not a SaaS landing page. Paper and manila colours, Public Sans (the US government design-system typeface), Source Serif for headings, IBM Plex Mono for form numbers, and rubber stamps that sit slightly crooked using `mix-blend-mode: multiply`.
- **Clerk bug found in a browser run.** On a haunting licence with consent answered "Yes", the clerk twice demanded Form 88-H ("must be yes") and then rejected the citizen's reply to that very form. Two causes. First, the prompt let it rule "incomplete" without quoting the failing answer. Second, the earlier memos it sees didn't include the *question* of the form it had requested, so it couldn't recognise the reply as the completed form… [417 chars trimmed]

Everything is deployed. One check is still blocked on you: IP-ZQ8YWL is still waiting at the Under-Secretary's desk, so I haven't seen a stamp from the Stamp Desk yet.

Your next steps:
1. In the Stamp Desk, click Stamp APPROVED on IP-ZQ8YWL and send me a screenshot.
- I'll then check that the engine recorded the stamp under your Sanity identity, not the server's token. The post's App SDK claim depends on that, so it stays unconfirmed until then.
- The desk shows your real name ("Signing as…"). Blur it in any screenshot that goes into the post.
2. Create the repo and push it. Run these yourself:

cd [REDACTED]\Desktop\bureau-of-imaginary-permits
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
gh repo create malbolged/bureau-of-imaginary-permits --public --source . --push

submission/ and .env are in .gitignore, so neither gets pushed.

Live and verified:

What Where
Public site https://bureau-of-imaginary-permits.vercel.app (an express permit was issued in about 9 s in production)
Studio https://imaginary-permits.sanity.studio
Stamp Desk https://www.sanity.io/@o9gofjii1/application/fitcgnallbe1vgmbhcicvis9
Sanity project e23lrcxv, 3 workflow definitions deployed

Ready on disk (in bureau-of-imaginary-permits\):
- README.md, and BUILD-LOG.md kept up to date as the build went.
- submission\post.md: the full DEV draft in the Path Two template, with the required first line and an explicit answer on which AI-native IDE was used. It still has three placeholders: screenshots, the desk screenshot and the session embed.
- submission\images\: 5 production screenshots (home, application form, file returned to the citizen, issued cloud certificate, How it works).
- submission\claude-code-session-path2.jsonl: 426 messages, 383 KB. It's sanitized: no name, email, company, username or Sanity user ID. I'll re-cut it at the very end so it includes everything up to then.

After your stamp, I'll:
- Verify the actor and update the post.
- Re-cut the session file.
- Give you the paste-ready post body and the upload steps.

we should first redesign the application it looks too vibecoded (colors, fonts ...)
we should gamify it, it should follow the "Papers, Please" game design
it should have a stamp approval/denial stamping animation

## 2026-10-01 (evening): the pivot

- **"We should first redesign the application. It looks too vibecoded (colors, fonts …). We should gamify it, it should follow the 'Papers, Please' game design. It should have a stamp approval/denial stamping animation."** This is the second time I've said "too vibecoded" across the two entries, so I took it as the real brief. The government-form look was tasteful but generic. Choices, all made in one round of three questions:
  - **The visitor plays the inspector at the booth.** Filing a permit stays as the second door, for citizens.
  - **Scoring uses planted discrepancies,** with the truth stored in Sanity.
  - **The look is a full pixel-art booth,** inspired by the game. No assets, names or text from it.
- **The scripted cases get their own workflow, `booth-inspection`.** It starts directly at the human stage (`window`). That keeps the LLM out of the game loop, and keeps game files out of the real staff in-tray, which filters by stage name.
- **Honesty note:** the cases at the window all arrive with the clerk's ruling "complete", because that's the premise: *… [1168 chars trimmed]
