My guess is you are running npm run dev in a different directory than you ran Dork. After dork finished the first prompt, bc sure you CD into the directory it creates!

Oh that's a fair point. He could be outside the project directory. I've done that 🤣

I confirmed that I'm running it in the directory that Dork creates based on the name you provide it at the start

Dork is definitely doing work (and charging my Open Router API), but when I review the files that he's claimed to have changed they are blank templates

It's as if he's doing the work in Command Prompt, but no work is happening in the directory to the actual files

Such that when I run "npm run dev" it's just localhost:8080 and displays "Welcome to Your Blank App"

I've never heard of that before - can you send screenshots?

Alex says it sounds like something ChatGPT would do - what model are you using? If not already, switch to Claude Sonnet 4.

I was using Claude Sonnet 4

Here's my dialogue with Dork for reference:

I had something similar happen once where it built a bunch of things but didn't update the included index.html or app router. I had to say something like okay now that you built it update the index page so I can use the updated application.
