Who should explore it?
Our suggested audience is a developer who wants to inspect project code while delegating bounded tasks. Start with one task and one project so that changes, decisions and verification remain easy to follow.
A useful first task
Choose a small display bug. Ask the agent to identify the relevant component, explain the cause and propose a correction. Supply a screenshot and the expected behavior. Review the code change in the editor and try the same screen at another window width before considering the task complete.
What to check
When following an older Windsurf tutorial, compare the interface with current documentation. Check where an agent executes, what project access it has and how changes are applied. Keep the original problem small enough to verify without relying on the agent’s status message.
