Agent Workflow

Golden Rules

Follow this three-phase approach for all non-trivial work:

1. PLAN → Design solution → Document approach → WAIT FOR EXPLICIT APPROVAL
2. IMPLEMENT → Code ONLY what was approved → STOP when agreed scope is complete
3. REVIEW → Verify results → Suggest improvements → Return to PLAN phase

Critical Violations to Avoid

User: "Can you add authentication?"
AI: [Immediately starts coding without discussion]
