Three habits to learn before the role pages

01

Delegate repetition, keep judgement

Repetition is the signal to look for. The second time you write the same runbook, review comment or query, that task is a candidate for an agent.

02

Review the decision, not the keystrokes

Ask for the plan and the evidence before approving an action. Reading a plan takes a minute and teaches you how the agent reasons.

03

Send it back with a reason

When output is wrong, write down why. The reason narrows the next attempt; a silent rejection guarantees the same work comes back.

Week one: read-only

Agents observe and report. Compare their conclusions with yours to learn where they are reliable.

Then: propose and wait

Agents draft the change and stop. A named person approves before anything lands, so mistakes stay cheap.

Steady state: act in a boundary

Agents act inside a scope you wrote down, and every action leaves a trail you can read afterwards.
