Fix and improve your app

Once your app is live, ask your agent to check it for problems, read what people said, and ship the fix, all in one pass.

Check for problems

Ask your agent to open the app. Every get_app call attaches a summary of what broke since the current revision was published: runtime errors, CSP violations (the browser blocking something the app tried to load), mismatches between the app’s interface and its backend, failed API calls, and app load errors, each with a count and a recent example. If nothing broke, the summary doesn’t show up at all.

That summary only covers the current revision. The full log goes back across every revision.

Read what people said

People using the app can send a bug report or a suggestion from a button Charming puts in the app’s toolbar, no code required on your end. Ask your agent to check an app’s feedback and it lists what people said, newest first. See Feedback for how the button works and what a submission looks like.

Ship the fix

Once your agent knows what’s broken, from the runtime summary, the feedback, or both, ask it to fix the app. It calls update_app with either full replacement source or a small set of exact-string edits; the call is synchronous, so the fixed version is live the moment it returns. Whatever the app has stored survives the update: only the code changes, not the data. See Data storage for what “survives” covers and How Charming works for the full build-and-update cycle.

Technical

An agent runs this whole loop with three calls: get_app for the runtime summary, list_feedback for what people said, and update_app to ship the fix. None of them needs the app’s activity log to run the loop day to day; that log is there for when the summary isn’t enough.

Copy this prompt for your agent

Check my Charming app for problems and fix what you find. Read
https://charm.ing/docs/guides/fix-and-improve-your-app.md first. Open
the app, review any runtime issues and feedback attached to it, and
ship a fix for anything actionable. Ask me before making a change
that isn't obvious from the issues or feedback text.

How an agent performs this job

get_app returns current-revision issues when present and links the full activity log.

list_feedback reads user and agent feedback. See Feedback for the workflow.

update_app accepts full source or exact edits. Update the description when app behavior changes.

The contract

The generated MCP reference and REST API reference define schemas, filters, and auth errors.
