Your first review
Your first review takes about five minutes. You will not type a single command — you ask your agent, and it does the rest.
1. Ask your agent for a plan
Section titled “1. Ask your agent for a plan”Before it starts building something, say:
Write a plan for this with Big Plan, then open it for review.Your agent writes the plan and starts Big Plan, which opens the plan in your browser as a document made for reading.
2. Read it
Section titled “2. Read it”You get a real document: a table of contents, sections you can collapse, and the diagrams, diffs, tables, and schemas the plan needs — not a wall of Markdown in a terminal.
Read it the way you would read anything. The point of the next few minutes is to find out whether you actually agree with the approach.
3. Talk it through
Section titled “3. Talk it through”Select any sentence and choose Comment. Ask whatever you want — “why this order?”, “what happens if this fails?” Your agent answers in the thread, right next to the thing you asked about.
The plan has questions for you too. When you reach a decision card, pick the option you want.
Two ways to change the plan, and you can mix them freely:
- Ask your agent — “swap the queue for a cron job” — and it revises the plan, which updates in front of you.
- Use the review yourself — answer decisions and leave comments directly in the document.
4. Approve it
Section titled “4. Approve it”When you are happy with the approach, choose Approve plan.
Your answers are written into the plan file, the agent gets your approval note, and it can start building — against a plan you have actually read and agreed with.
That is the whole loop.
