Module 5 taught you to hold a live app steady without changing it. Module 6 is about changing it while people are using it: fixing what somebody reports, adding one small thing, and keeping everything else working.

What you'll be able to do

  • Turn a fault somebody else reports into a message your agent can act on, by going and seeing it yourself first.
  • Add one small feature to your live app, with the checks written into the ask, and prove the rest still works.
  • Spot the moment text you pasted from somebody else makes your agent start on work you never asked for, and stop it at the approval prompt.
  • Know the three conditions under which the right move is to stop and ask a person.

Only Lesson 2 changes your app on purpose.

The split

Your agent owns the code, the rules, every error and every fix. You own saying what you want, looking at the running app, running the checks, saying when to save, and knowing when to stop. After any change, you run the four checks from Module 5 Lesson 1, in order.

Lessons

  1. 01-a-bug-report-arrives.md — somebody reports your live app doing something wrong; go and see it, hand over what you saw, re-check after the repair
  2. 02-adding-without-breaking.md — one small addition to your live app, with the checks written into the ask and run afterwards for real
  3. 03-when-what-you-paste-isnt-yours.md — outside text that carries instructions for your agent, and the approval prompt where you turn it down
  4. 04-when-to-ask-a-person.md — the conditions that mean it is time to stop steering, and what to bring when you do
