Do not mistake the interface for the product. Trinka's durable value is model, data, workflow, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability

What you give up

  • brand-trained workflows
  • team governance and integrations
  • vendor-managed prompt and quality tuning
  • proprietary models or classifiers

Why people still pay

Trinka: Customers pay for tuned workflows, predictable quality, governance, and a product team absorbing model churn rather than for the text box alone.

engineering roadmap

Implementation plan

1

Phase 1, architecture and data

Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Model source documents, editable pages or notes, internal links, revisions, and exports; retain source IDs and timestamps.

2

Phase 2, implement

For academic grammar, import a user-supplied document and preserve its original text and hash.

3

Phase 3, implement

Run a clearly labelled heuristic or user-selected detector and record its model/version, score, and evidence spans.

4

Phase 4, review and output

Let the user review uncertain passages and export a report with limitations and source excerpts.

5

Phase 5, recovery and acceptance

Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: A classifier score cannot be presented as proof of authorship; a failed detector run remains unknown and never overwrites source text. State the practical limit: brand-trained workflows.

the pro prompt
Build me a focused academic grammar workflow for the personal core of Trinka. Requirements:

- Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Model source documents, editable pages or notes, internal links, revisions, and exports; retain source IDs and timestamps.
- Paid product context: Grammar, technical editing, publication checks, and plagiarism tools. Build only this DIY scope: Analyze user-supplied text with a labelled heuristic or user-selected detector, show evidence and uncertainty, and export a reviewable report.
- For academic grammar, import a user-supplied document and preserve its original text and hash.
- Run a clearly labelled heuristic or user-selected detector and record its model/version, score, and evidence spans.
- Let the user review uncertain passages and export a report with limitations and source excerpts.
- Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: OpenAI API key in .env. Keep credentials in .env.
- Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: A classifier score cannot be presented as proof of authorship; a failed detector run remains unknown and never overwrites source text.
- Out of scope: brand-trained workflows; team governance and integrations. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow.
- Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

Questions about Trinka

Can you build your own Trinka with AI?

A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. Trinka's durable value is model, data, workflow, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

What does the Trinka build prompt cover?

The prompt starts with this scope: Build a private academic grammar workspace that sends user text to one chosen model, stores versions, applies reusable instructions, and exports Markdown. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: brand-trained workflows; team governance and integrations; vendor-managed prompt and quality tuning. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.

How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?

Start with the Trinka prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.

How long will this Trinka project take?

The catalogue estimate is not a true replacement; consolation build in one to two days for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.

What would I give up by replacing Trinka?

brand-trained workflows; team governance and integrations; vendor-managed prompt and quality tuning; proprietary models or classifiers. Trinka: Customers pay for tuned workflows, predictable quality, governance, and a product team absorbing model churn rather than for the text box alone.

What can I use instead of building Trinka?

The prior-art section lists Ollama, Open WebUI as starting points. Review their current scope, license and maintenance before adopting one.
