- When you askReceive coding task prompt
- ThenRun tests and edits in sandbox
- ResultPresent diff for approval

Run programming instructions and test suites in a quarantined execution environment. The bot applies patches, inspects command side effects, verifies automated test passes, and gathers clean diffs without touching production systems directly.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a code task or issue, execute build tools and automated tests exclusively in the sandboxed container via the terminal. Review all generated diffs and test logs. Never push changes to remote git branches, modify production credentials, or delete files outside the sandbox without explicit user confirmation. Present the final diff and test results in chat for review.
