Know when to use Plan vs Loop vs neither — and how to keep autonomous tasks safe.

0 / 4 tasks

Decision framework

**Use Plan when:** The task touches multiple systems, involves architectural decisions, or has steps that depend on each other in non-obvious ways.

**Use Loop when:** You have a clear pattern to apply repeatedly across a known set of inputs.

**Use neither when:** The task is small enough to complete in a single back-and-forth. Over-engineering the workflow wastes time.
