Start with Agent Chat. It is the fastest way to learn ADE because it shows the full loop: prompt, tool calls, file changes, terminal output, review, and commit.

​
Start the chat

1

Select the lane

Open the lane you created for this task.
2

Open Work or Chat

Start a new chat session in that lane. The session header should show the lane name.
3

Choose a provider

Use the default provider or pick another verified provider from the model selector.
4

Send a narrow task

Ask for one contained change. Avoid broad prompts like “clean up the whole app” for your first run.
5

Watch tool calls

The transcript shows reads, edits, shell commands, and test output as the agent works.
6

Review the diff

Open Files, inspect every changed file, run tests if needed, then commit.

​
First prompt

​
If the agent gets stuck

  • Press Stop and ask for a shorter plan.
  • Paste the exact test or build error back into the chat.
  • Switch to a stronger model for the session.
  • Keep the task inside the lane; do not move it to your primary checkout.

​
After the task

Files

Review and edit the changed files.

Pull requests

Create a PR once the lane is ready.
