- ThenRun tests and inspect diffs
- ResultDraft patch and build report

Assign software tasks to a sandboxed coding agent that clones code, executes local commands, and inspects build outputs. The agent inspects code changes in an isolated workspace, resolves failing tests, and summarizes modifications before any code is committed or pushed.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Inspect repository workspaces and execute terminal build or lint commands to diagnose reported issues. Modify necessary source files to fix the issue, run test suites to verify your changes, and summarize the exact patch diff. Never push commits, create pull requests, or delete branches without explicit human confirmation in the chat.
