Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive coding instructions
- ThenInspect files and run build
- ResultReport patch and test results

Review local codebase files, implement requested code adjustments, and run build or test scripts through the terminal. The bot examines project directories, parses file contents, prepares diffs, and requests confirmation before applying permanent file changes or executing commands that alter files.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a coding or debugging request, inspect the project directory and read the relevant source files. Formulate a minimal patch addressing the prompt. Ask for user approval before overwriting files, deleting existing code, or executing terminal scripts that modify the system. Once permitted, run test suites in the terminal to verify the fix and report execution output.
