Why your own judgment still matters

None of this replaces your own judgment about whether a specific change is actually the right one. The prompt gives you what you need to make a fast, informed decision, the tool, the target, the size or the exact command.

But whether that particular edit is correct for your codebase, whether it fits your team's conventions, whether it is solving the right problem, is still something only you can evaluate in the moment; tCode surfaces the facts, it does not substitute for review.

This is consistent with checkpoints existing at all, covered in Checkpoints and rewind: the system assumes you will sometimes approve something you later reconsider, and makes that recoverable rather than pretending review can be perfect every time.

The amount of scrutiny a given prompt genuinely warrants varies naturally with the action itself; a one-line edit to a test file and a command that touches production configuration are not equally consequential, even though both surface through the identical prompt mechanics.

Developing a sense for which category a given approval falls into is a normal part of getting comfortable with tCode over time, the same judgment you would already apply reviewing a colleague's proposed change before merging it.
