  1. Describe the change

    Choose + › Task, then Feature or Bugfix. Describe the change, attach files if needed, then choose your agent and where it runs.

  2. Answer the questions

    They come one at a time in Your turn. Each answer reaches your agent at once.

  3. Approve the Plan

    Read it, then choose Approve and build here. To ask for a change, mark the Plan and write quick feedback. Choose where to build picks another agent or workspace.

  4. Let it build

    Follow Implement and Verify, or do something else. Anything only you can do reaches you as one question.

  5. Review and approve

    On Verify, Review the code, see what changed and how Done means ran, then approve.

  6. Merge

    Pull request on Verify opens GitHub's page to create it. You merge it there.

Where your agent runs​

New task and Start the build both ask.

Recommended. Pick the agent, model, effort, project and branch. Questions and requests to your agent happen in the App.

Good to know​

  • Say QualityLayer or QL when you ask your agent to start work. Follow-up answers continue the task; no slash command is needed.
  • Select a passage, write in the quick feedback field and press Enter to send it. Shift+Enter starts a new line.
  • You can stop or pause the run. Your agent's own permission and sign-in prompts still need you.
  • To continue elsewhere, stop the run and ask: "Using QL, continue task retry-webhooks." The Plan and evidence stay with the task.
  • With several approved Plans waiting, "Implement this using QualityLayer" lists their commands.
