# Human steps
Some steps are the founder's alone: creating accounts, verifying a domain, adding a card,
signing an agreement, pasting a secret into a host's secret store, submitting to an app store.
Write them in `docs/work/<id>/human-steps.md`:
```markdown
## 1. Create the production database
1. Open <host dashboard URL>, New project, region <region from project.toml>.
2. Copy the connection string. Do not paste it in chat.
3. Add it as DATABASE_URL in <where the secrets live>.
**Check:** run `<command>`; it should print `connected`.
```
- One action per step, in the order the screens appear.
- Say where each value goes; never ask for a password, key or card number in chat.
- After each step, a check the founder can run or a thing they should see.
- Mark which steps cost money, with the price from the provider's own page and the date you read it.
- Keep the file current; hosts move their buttons.
