Agent Workflow in a Minute

Vendor-neutral engineering patterns for planning, verification, and multi-agent work.

• beginnerTask specificationA task specification defines outcome, scope, constraints, and verification for any coding agent—not just one vendor.
• beginnerPlan before executionHave the agent propose a short plan and file touch-list before it edits—so you can catch wrong approaches cheaply.
• intermediateHuman approvalHuman approval boundaries are checkpoints where an agent must stop for a person before risky or irreversible actions.
• intermediateExecutionExecution is the agent actually editing and running commands—bounded by the plan, permissions, and verification gate.
• intermediateVerification loopsA verification loop requires the agent to prove done with an external check—then fix—until the check passes or you stop it.
• intermediateRetriesRetries are bounded re-attempts after a failed verification—each attempt should use new evidence, not blind repetition.
• advancedParallel agentsParallel agents only help when tasks are partitioned, isolated on disk, and integrated through reviewable merges.
