Problem

Traditional "prompt-as-puppeteer" workflows force humans to spell out every step, limiting scale and creativity.

Solution

Give the agent tools + a high-level goal and let it decide the orchestration. Humans supply guard-rails (first 10 % + last 3 %) while the agent handles the middle 87 %.

Example (flow)

sequenceDiagram
  Dev->>Agent: "Refactor UploadService to async"
  Agent->>Repo: git grep "UploadService"
  Agent->>Tools: edit_file, run_tests
  Agent-->>Dev: PR with green CI
