Lesson 6 / 7 · ~12 minutes

A real task from A to Z

You've already seen the finished rate calculator in lesson 2. Now you'll see the entire run, unedited — including the two moments Codex refused to continue. Those are the most valuable parts: you'll see lesson 4's guardrails in practice, and why they're a safety net, not an obstacle.

The final challenge: delegate something of your own

Pick a task from your own life — ideally one that genuinely saves you time:

  • A calculator for your trade — quotes, material usage, rates…
  • A mini website — a business card page for a project or an event.
  • Changing something that exists — got an old script or spreadsheet? Let the agent add a feature.

You know the drill; in short:

  1. New folder, git (the agent sets it up itself) (lesson 1)
  2. Task brief: WHAT · WHY · HOW · WHEN + output structure (lesson 2)
  3. Delegate longer work to the cloud, handle small things locally (lesson 3)
  4. Go through the whole diff — tests aren't enough (lessons 3 and 4)
  5. Finally: "write the state into AGENTS.md" (lesson 5)

Self-assessment

Once you're done, go through the checklist:
