Learn what proposals, behavior specs, designs and tasks contribute before an assistant edits code.
Initialize a disposable project, review generated instructions and write one testable scenario.
Treat package upgrades and per-project instruction refreshes as two separately reviewed changes.
Trace the default proposal, specs, design and tasks through schema, graph, state and next-step policy.
Inspect declaration-order tie breaking and reproduce six graph checks without running an AI assistant.
Design a small evaluation without treating Markdown volume or task count as productivity.
Review repository guidance, edit scope, telemetry and shared planning data before agent execution.
Compare a change folder, an issue checklist and an existing specification process on one real need.
Display dependencies and missing evidence without automatically executing the next instruction.
