Workflow

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.

Summary
Adjoint shows a diff of every proposed change and waits for your approval. Backups let you undo cleanly. Plan Mode lets you shape the work before it 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.
