Agents will earn their place by doing small, reviewable ops work first, not by autonomously writing your code. Tasks like triage, assembling incident context, fixing trivial CI failures, or preparing a release are bounded, have explicit stop rules, and produce artifacts you can inspect before merging. Start by wiring agents into workflows where failure costs are small, reviewer loops are explicit, and progress is auditable. Treat these as checkpoints to justify moving toward higher‑risk automation later.
