The outcome
Produce a tested, scoped diff with a clear record of planning, actions, provider use, and human approval.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Open the intended checkout on a clean branch, record status and baseline checks, and confirm the active provider, model, version, and project configuration.
- 02
Use the plan agent to inspect relevant code and state acceptance criteria, architecture constraints, non-goals, and required validation without edits.
- 03
Review the plan, then configure ask or deny rules for shell commands, edits, external directories, web access, skills, and subagents before using build.
- 04
Monitor every action and changed file, reject scope or dependency drift, and run focused tests while keeping pushes and destructive commands blocked.
- 05
Run trusted checks independently, inspect the full diff and session record, and commit or publish only through the normal human-reviewed workflow.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Separate planning from editing.
- Deny external directories by default.
- Keep push and destructive commands blocked.
