Practice Agent or Inline Edit

Practice Agent or Inline Edit on one real case. Check the result before moving on.

Step 1 of 2

Make one small edit with a clear expected result. Read every changed line before accepting it. Open Source Control to confirm that only expected files changed, then run one direct behavior check. Keep the diff and result together.

One small change, read every hunk

  1. Open the file with the label. Select just line 12. That selection is the blast radius. Cursor should only touch what you highlighted.
  2. One line? Use Inline Edit. Command-K. Not Agent. Type the exact reword, then wait for the hunk.
  3. Read every line of that hunk before you Accept. Then check Source Control. One modified file. That is your receipt.
Watch the full loop once. Select the line, use , read the hunk, accept it and verify the diff in Source Control.

Practice next: Now make the one-line Inline Edit, read the hunk and verify the single-file diff.
