Video explanation
Tasks visit reading, editing and command tools along a track. An approval gate and turn readout expose the current step.
Model and tool roles
The model chooses a next step; tools perform reads or changes and return results in a loop.
Results become context
Tool results inform subsequent actions. A plan alone does not establish that files changed successfully.
Permissions and verification
The gate represents an execution control point; tests and result checks verify outcomes. The machine is a workflow metaphor, not Claude’s internal architecture.
