Paseo Agent
Paseo Agent workflows split coding work into safer lanes
A useful coding agent is not just a bigger prompt. It needs planning, context gathering, implementation, verification, and a human-readable handoff. Paseo Agent workflows make those lanes visible before checkout.
For teams evaluating whether an agent workflow can handle real engineering tasks without hiding the risk.
The lead-agent pattern
The lead agent owns the goal and breaks the job into smaller lanes. One lane can inspect the codebase, another can prepare the change, another can verify tests, and another can write the final handoff.
This pattern is useful because it separates thinking from execution. It also makes review easier: each lane leaves a smaller trail than one giant opaque run.
- Planner lane for scope and acceptance criteria.
- Research lane for repository and dependency context.
- Implementation lane for edits and local checks.
- Review lane for summary, risks, and next steps.
Memory and skills
Project memory lets the workspace remember coding conventions, release preferences, common commands, and decisions that should not be rediscovered every run.
Skills turn repeated operations into reusable procedures. They are only valuable when their permissions and side effects are easy to understand.
Why Studio is the default
Solo is fine for a narrow test. Scale is for private runners and heavier automation. Studio is the practical middle: enough memory, sandboxing, and onboarding for a serious team evaluation.
Common questions
What is Paseo Agent?
It is the agent-workflow layer inside Paseo Code: planning, execution, review, memory, and tool boundaries for coding tasks.
Do sub-agents make work safer by themselves?
No. They help organize work, but safety still depends on sandboxing, permissions, approval, and review.
Can I start without project memory?
Yes for a small trial. For repeated work, project memory is the main reason Studio annual is selected by default.
