Keep decisions visible

An agent can move quickly through a change. The useful question is whether you can still see what it decided and what it touched.

Review the run

A plan gives the run a clear starting point. Commands and diffs make the work legible as it happens. A review before the next stage gives you a place to correct the direction while the change is still small.

Decide what ships

The workflow works best when handing work off does not mean handing over the decision. Let the agent carry the implementation; keep the decision about what ships with you.
