Start with a goal#

A good Helmor task is narrow enough to review. Start by naming the user-visible outcome or technical fix you want, then create a workspace for that work.

Task flow#

  1. Choose a repository.
  2. Create a workspace from the right branch.
  3. Pick the agent for the task.
  4. Send a focused prompt.
  5. Watch the session and answer follow-up questions.
  6. Review the diff and run checks.

Prompt shape#

Include the goal, relevant files or feature area, constraints, and expected verification. Avoid asking for multiple unrelated fixes in one session.

Finish condition#

The task is done when the diff matches the goal, checks pass, and you can explain the change without relying only on the agent transcript.
