My terminal-agent workflow
Planning, changes, tests, and review without watching generation forever.
Planning, changes, tests, and review without watching generation forever.
Useful when a large project must be understood quickly while preserving architectural context.
What works in practice
- Read and propose a plan first.
- Allow file changes only after alignment.
- Run checks before reporting completion.
- Review the diff, not the agent's summary.
Where the boundary is
The terminal only speeds things up when the project can quickly tell whether it is broken.
The short conclusion
Claude Code earns its place when it shortens the path to a verified result while keeping responsibility visible.
