What

Adds field survey FR-2026-07-PHONE — Never Touch the Laptop: Running a Whole Project from Your Phone at /reports/phone-first-cloud-agents/, filed into Drive for 2026-Q3.

The report answers: can you spec, build, preview, deploy, and iterate on a real project entirely from a phone, by voice — never touching a laptop?

  • Part I — the idealized loop: voice intake via the grill-with-docs interview, prototype variants on preview URLs, agent-verified execution, screenshot-annotation steering, jobs-trigger-jobs switchboard, set-once infrastructure.
  • Part II — a 13-axis scoreboard comparing Codex Cloud, Cursor Cloud Agents, Claude Code on the web, and Amp orbs (voice, offline, env setup, secrets, MCP, previews, build loop, looping, DB/DNS).
  • Part III — tool-by-tool mapping with screenshots captured Jul 20, 2026 (Amp section added Jul 23, covering the Jun 30 – Jul 22 orbs release run: orbs, OIDC orb identity, agent-to-agent spawning, self-scheduling agents, Slack).
  • Part IV — the supporting stack: Vercel MCP + PR previews, v0, Neon/Supabase branch-per-preview, Cloudflare/Vercel domains, Poke as the iMessage switchboard, GitHub Mobile.
  • Part V — a concrete phone-only project walkthrough mapped to the committed skills loop (grill-with-docs → prototype → to-spec → to-tickets → implement).
  • Part VI — what's still missing (voice is dictation-only, previews stop at the VM wall, secrets philosophies diverge four ways, looping is young).

Changes

  • src/content/reports/phone-first-cloud-agents.md — the report memo
  • src/pages/reports/phone-first-cloud-agents.astro + src/styles/reports/phone-first-cloud-agents.css — paper-theme report page rendering the memo
  • src/lib/reports.ts — Drive catalog entry (FR-2026-07-PHONE, 2026-07-20)
  • src/content/quarters/2026-q3.json — new quarter discovery ("three seams")
  • public/images/reports/phone-first/*.png — 10 tool screenshots (8 captured Jul 20, 2 Amp screenshots Jul 23)

Verification

pnpm run build passes (221 pages). Manually verified via browser on astro preview: cover, scoreboard table (horizontally scrollable, no overflow), all 8 screenshots load, Drive listing shows the entry, homepage shows discovery note 05. After the Amp revision: pnpm run build re-run and passing (221 pages).

Never Touch the Laptop: Codex Cloud, Cursor Cloud Agents, and Claude
Code on the web mapped across 13 axes against the idealized phone-only,
voice-driven project loop. Includes tool screenshots captured Jul 20,
the supporting stack (Vercel MCP/previews, Neon, Cloudflare, Poke,
GitHub Mobile), a phone-only project walkthrough, and gaps. Filed into
Drive for 2026-Q3 with a new quarter discovery.

…urvey

Amp shipped orbs (Jun 30), remote thread creation, OIDC-based orb
identity, agent-to-agent spawning, Slack integration, and self-scheduling
agents between Jun 30 and Jul 22, so the survey now compares four
platforms:

- Fourth scoreboard column covering all 13 axes
- New Part III section on orbs: pricing/sizes, .agents/setup + resume,
  orb portal, OIDC secrets model, agents spawning agents, mobile-web-only
  phone surface
- Two ampcode.com screenshots to match the other tool sections
- Updated verdict, secrets and looping sections (three -> four
  philosophies), walkthrough chaining note, method note, cover stats,
  and Drive catalog summary

The five-column markdown table was unreadable — narrow cells behind a
horizontal scrollbar, hiding the densest information in the report. Each
of the 13 axes is now a full-width block with four vendor cells, graded
green/amber/red (strong / workable / missing) with a legend, four-across
on desktop, stacking to two then one column on phones. Screenshots now
break out wider than the text column.

…ng callout

The setup agent discovers which secrets the environment needs and prompts
with the Add Secrets dialog (runtime-redacted default, paste-your-.env,
per-repo scoping) — the best secrets onboarding flow of the four vendors,
now shown and called out in the Cursor section.
