Week 1

From read-only exploration to bounded handoff

D1🔒 Locked

Scope the Codebase Before Read-Only Exploration

Map the boundaries of a fictional repair-booking repository, then ask Cursor Agent to search and explain code without editing it.

D2🔒 Locked

Make One Small Agent Edit and Verify It

Constrain a booking-slot wording fix to one module, then use tests and the diff to judge whether the change meets the task.

D3🔒 Locked

Give Rules and AGENTS.md Clear Scopes

Write compatible instructions for the repository root and booking subdirectory, then test whether either rule spreads too far.

D4🔒 Locked

Review Multi-File Changes and Rehearse Rollback

Split a booking-status change across domain and view into reviewable steps, catch an out-of-scope file, and choose a safe reversal.

D5🔒 Locked

Hand Off a Local Task to Cloud Agent Safely

Package unfinished booking work for an isolated environment with explicit repository state, permissions, secrets, and acceptance ownership.
