1.Write the repetitive job + success criteria: input files, outputs, required structure. Done when you could manually QA the result without the agent.
2.Inventory what exists: folders, commands, sample files; red-line bans (prod, network, secrets). Done when permission bounds fit on one screen.
3.Run “Break into steps” for ≤6 agent steps (input/action/output/check/fallback each). Done when external-system steps are marked “needs human OK”.
