What I'm wondering is how it matched up the natural english description with the repository content though.

The prompt contained a few react examples with annotated English descriptions that were similar enough. You’re not seeing the entire prompt and as impressive as this is, it’s likely that you’d end up writing more code trying to get it to do what you want than if you just wrote it yourself. Future GPTs may of course be better, but there’s a bit of “magic” to these demos that the author isn’t super upfront about.

I'd like to see this done with tests as the input, and the working app as the output. Then writing an app would be as simple as defining the tests it must pass.

In most cases, if you can define the tests, you have already figured out 80% of the solution.

Probably through tutorials and verbosely-commented code examples?
