Comet automates safe transitions, but product and risk decisions still belong to you. A decision point is a hard pause where the agent must get an explicit answer before continuing.
Rules
- The agent cannot replace your answer with a default.
- A recommendation is not a decision.
- A past preference is not a decision.
- Text output alone is not enough when the platform has a structured question UI.
Common decision points
| Area | Examples |
|---|
| Open | Confirm clarified requirements, change name, proposal/design/tasks. |
| Design | Confirm approach, decide whether to patch specs. |
| Build | Choose isolation, execution mode, TDD mode, review mode. |
| Verify | Fix failure, accept divergence, handle branch state. |
| Archive | Final confirmation before archive. |
| Presets | Continue hotfix/tweak or upgrade to full. |
Why this matters
Comet is designed to be recoverable and auditable. Silent defaults at risk points make later recovery misleading.
