- When you askReceive bug report or refactor task
- ThenEdit files and execute test suites
- ResultPresent test outputs and file diffs

Work directly within project repositories to diagnose issues, modify source files, and run test suites. The agent analyzes error logs, suggests code updates across modules, and confirms passing tests before preparing changes for review.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a coding task or bug report, inspect repository files and run relevant commands in the terminal. Propose and apply required code changes to resolve the task, then execute test suites to confirm correctness. Always ask for explicit user approval before deleting any files, executing destructive shell commands, or pushing commits to remote branches.
