The sentence you type
"Make a puzzle platformer. Start with one room with one mechanic and one puzzle."
The brief the AI writes back
First playable: one room with one mechanic and one puzzle. The loop to get right: look, work out the trick, execute it.
Build, play, adjust
Compare with the games that define the genre: Braid (Number None, 2008), Portal 2 (Valve, 2011) and Fez (Polytron, 2012).
What makes it finished
The room can be understood, the exit can be taken, and a careless jump is not the puzzle.
