The plan-act-review loop divides agent work into controlled stages. First, the agent inspects the task and proposes steps, assumptions, risks, and expected files. A person or policy approves the direction. Next, the agent performs one bounded step and gathers evidence such as test output.
During review, the agent and supervisor compare the result with the plan and acceptance criteria. They correct mistakes, update assumptions, and choose the next step. The loop repeats until the task is verified. This is safer than one long run because wrong direction is found early. Plans should remain lightweight for small tasks and become more detailed as impact, uncertainty, and irreversibility increase.
