What you'll learn
See a coding agent do work that isn't coding
Watch one agent run an analysis, drive a browser, and produce a document, from a single well-framed task.
Frame a task an agent can actually finish
Learn how to scope and hand off work so the agent knows what done means and stays on track without you.
Drive the loop instead of babysitting it
See when to let the agent run, when to step in, and how to tell a finished task from a stuck one.
Why this topic matters
Most people point a coding agent at a bug and stop there. The same tool that edits a file can read a codebase, run an analysis, drive a browser, draft a document, and check its own work, if you drive the loop well. This Lightning Lesson shows how to get real work out of a coding agent beyond writing code: how to frame a task, keep the agent on track, and know when the loop is done.
