Practical tasks
- Find the cause of this error and suggest a safe fix.
- Update text, links, or metadata on these pages.
- Add a simple form, new section, or small feature.
- Run tests or a build and explain the result.
- Check whether the live server runs the same version as the Git repository.
- Create a deployment checklist.
- Set up project dependencies or a database in a new environment.
Good prompt structure
- What is the goal?
- Which files, pages, or environment does it involve?
- What should the agent avoid changing?
- How should the result be tested?
- Should the agent stop before deployment?
Example
"Investigate why the contact form fails in production. Read relevant files and safe logs, but do not change the database or deploy without approval. Propose a fix and explain which tests you would run."
More examples of what is possible
- "Compare the live site with the latest repository version and explain any mismatch."
- "Find unused or broken configuration that prevents the app from starting."
- "Create a small content update, show the changed files, and stop before commit."
- "Write a safe deployment plan for this app, including rollback and verification."
- "Set up a staging copy of the app, then document what differs from production."
When to be extra clear
- When the task touches payment, customer information, or login.
- When the agent will work directly on a server.
- When the change can affect production.
- When there are files or data the agent must not read, copy, or publish.
