Write it in your own words in the app.
In real work
Agent: add pagination to the user list. Read the route, update the component and API, and run the tests when done.
In the illustration
Given one ticket, the shuttle rolls to the rack and reads a file, edits the galley, runs the test bench and parks, with no hand steering it between stops.
Run as an agent in your coding agent: rename the Session type to Visit across the project, update every call site, run the tests, and stop if anything fails.
