Safety and Approval
Every change runs past you first. Review a diff, accept or reject per file, undo anything. Plan Mode puts you in the loop before the agent even starts.
Accept or Reject, Per File
When the agent proposes changes, a diff appears with before-and-after code for each file. Accept to apply, reject to discard. For multi-file work, review everything in the Change Log and Accept All or Reject All in one click.
Auto-Accept for Prototyping
Toggle Auto-Accept on when you're moving fast and just want to see what works. Changes apply immediately. Turn it off for anything production.
Plan Mode
For larger tasks, use Plan mode. The agent writes a step-by-step plan and pauses. Edit it, approve it, or cancel and rephrase. Faster than reviewing the wrong implementation after the fact.
Automatic Backups
Every file Adjoint writes is backed up before it changes. A reject restores the original exactly. Backups persist through the session.
Guardrails
Destructive operations are blocked:
- No writes outside your project directory
- No forced quit or process termination
- No arbitrary file deletion outside the Assets folder
How to Get the Most Out of It
- Leave auto-accept off by default. Turn it on only when you're prototyping and the cost of a wrong change is low.
- Use Plan Mode as a first pass on anything big. A 90-second plan review saves the 10-minute undo cycle.
- Reject, don't fight. If the agent goes the wrong direction, reject and rephrase with the specific constraint you want. Cheaper than patching over a bad implementation.
