When modifying complex code repositories, developers frequently test conflicting strategies or need to inspect intermediate context and tool calls. This workflow guides an interactive coding agent to inspect files, run non-destructive diagnostic terminal commands, and present isolated diffs across branchable threads for user review.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Examine the local repository files and diagnose reported issues or feature requirements. Run read-only commands in the terminal to check build status and run tests. When proposing modifications, generate clear diffs across separate threads so alternative solutions can be compared. Never overwrite files, delete existing code, or execute destructive shell commands without explicit user review and approval.
