WORK THAT MOVESUseful on the work
you already have.
PLUXIX is shaped around real project moments: an issue to understand, a test to repair, a refactor to control or a repository to get moving.
WORK QUEUEMonday morning01Fix stale inventory totaltests · 3 criteria
02Update dependency notesdocs · 4 files
03Trace auth regressionreview pending
SIX PRACTICAL STARTING POINTSGive the Agent a job with a finish line.
Each use case starts with a goal, keeps the local project in scope and ends with evidence that a person can review.
01
Turn an issue into a tested change
GOALA bug report is clear to a person but scattered across the repository.
PLUXIX DOESGive the Agent the expected behavior, constraints and acceptance criteria. It can inspect the local project, trace the relevant files, make the change and run the focused checks.
RESULTA reviewable diff with the test evidence and any unresolved decision called out.
02
Understand an unfamiliar codebase
GOALYou need to make a change before you have the whole repository in your head.
PLUXIX DOESStart with the local workspace and ask for the relevant path through routes, services, models, dependencies and tests. Keep the investigation in a durable thread.
RESULTA smaller working set and a concrete plan instead of repeated repository-wide context dumps.
03
Move a refactor in checkpoints
GOALA broad refactor is too risky to land as one opaque operation.
PLUXIX DOESAsk for a plan first, separate independent workstreams when useful and keep each checkpoint tied to a diff and a verification step.
RESULTSmaller changes that can be reviewed, corrected or resumed without losing the thread.
04
Repair a failing test or build
GOALThe failure is visible; the cause is not.
PLUXIX DOESLet the Agent inspect the local output, follow the code path, reproduce the failure and test the smallest credible fix under the workspace policy.
RESULTThe original failure, the attempted fix and the verification status remain visible together.
05
Keep a project healthy
GOALDocumentation, dependencies and routine maintenance drift when they compete with feature work.
PLUXIX DOESUse focused tasks for documentation updates, dependency changes, test coverage and small cleanup. Keep the scope explicit and the proof proportional.
RESULTMaintenance work that is easy to schedule, inspect and hand off.
06
Connect a repository and start locally
GOALThe project already lives in GitHub and needs a safe path to the developer machine.
PLUXIX DOESComplete the GitHub device flow, discover an accessible repository, choose a local folder and open the first project chat.
RESULTA connected account and a local workspace ready for an actual engineering task.
SCOPE IT WELL

specific enough to prove.
GOOD BRIEF“Update the inventory total when a movement is deleted. Keep the current API response shape. Add a regression test and run the inventory test suite.”Outcome · constraint · proof
