What this is useful for

Illustrative tasks you could bring to Muse. The tools and access you provide determine what can be completed.

1

Fix a broken checkout

“Find why checkout fails after an address is entered.”
  1. Trace the relevant code
  2. Reproduce the failure
  3. Make a focused change
  4. Run tests and inspect the page

What you getA proposed fix with checks for you to review.

2

Understand an unfamiliar repository

“Show me where this app handles sign-in.”
  1. Read the project structure
  2. Follow the sign-in request
  3. Identify dependencies
  4. Explain the path through the code

What you getA map of the relevant files and how they connect.

3

Add a small feature

“Let users sort this table by date.”
  1. Inspect the existing table
  2. Follow project conventions
  3. Implement sorting
  4. Check empty and populated states

What you getA reviewable change that fits the existing app.

What to keep in mind

  • Tests cover only the behavior they check; passing tests do not prove correctness.
  • Review changes before merging, especially authentication, payments or data handling.
  • Tool permissions and a working development environment determine what can be executed.
