Featured prompt: Safe Agent Loop
Use this before implementation work when you want the agent to set one goal, explain the plan, verify the result, and stop after one reviewable change.
"I want to work in a safe beginner loop.
Please do only this one task: [describe one tiny change].
Goal:
- outcome: [what should be true]
- scope: [files, pages, or systems in scope]
- proof: [test command, browser check, or manual check]
- stop condition: [when to stop]
- do not touch: [auth, payments, database, deployment, packages, secrets, etc.]
Before making changes:
1. explain your plan in plain English
2. list the files, commands, and tools you expect to use
3. tell me if this needs a stronger model, deeper planning, a subagent, MCP, or a loop -- and why
4. do not add packages or change config unless absolutely necessary
After making changes:
5. tell me exactly what changed
6. tell me how to test it in one minute
7. run only the verification command or browser check we agreed on
8. stop so I can review before the next step"
