Example Project: Home Energy Monitor

This walkthrough builds a Home Energy Monitor — a web dashboard that tracks electricity usage from smart meters, shows daily/weekly/monthly charts, and sends alerts when usage spikes.

We will walk through all four ACE phases with actual Auro output at each step.

The Feature

A homeowner wants to:

• See real-time electricity usage on a dashboard
• View historical usage charts (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Get alerts when usage spikes above a threshold

Operator End-to-End Playbooks

Use these when you need execution detail for a specific environment:

1. End-to-End: Claude + Conductor
2. End-to-End: Google Antigravity
3. End-to-End: Xcode

Each playbook includes [RESEARCH REQUIRED] markers where environment-specific details must be validated.
