The outcome
Complete a bounded code change whose implementation and validation your team understands.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Index the correct repository and inspect its branch, status, instructions, secrets, and standard checks.
- 02
Start in Ask mode to investigate the code and agree on acceptance criteria and a file-level plan.
- 03
Move to Agent mode only after the task is small enough, naming forbidden changes and required human approvals.
- 04
Monitor shell, browser, file, and Git activity, answering blockers without widening the assignment.
- 05
Review the diff, tests, security impact, dependencies, and Session Insights before merging the pull request.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Ask before Agent.
- Keep one objective per session.
- Never merge an unexplained diff.
