Beginner 13 min read Lesson 10 of 300 Challenge included
What you will be able to do
  • Ask for a plan before a multi-file change.
  • Keep changes small enough to review in one sitting.
  • Record the source of important claims and decisions.

In plain English

A reliable workflow is: define the task, ask for a plan, implement in small steps, run tests, review the diff and document what changed. Stop when the model is guessing. Use it to accelerate work you can verify, not to avoid understanding.
