Day 6 of 10 25 minPlan modeSmall stepsCheckpoints

Agents can take on whole tasks, which makes how you steer them matter more. Learn the plan, build and check rhythm, how to split work into small steps, how much freedom to give an agent, and how git keeps you in control.

By the end of today you can

  • Use plan-first workflows and review a plan before any code is written
  • Split bigger tasks into small, checkable steps
  • Choose a sensible permission level for an agent
  • Use git commits as checkpoints you can return to
  • Keep the agent's context focused across long sessions
