zoom-out
Tell the agent to zoom out and give broader context or a higher-level perspective. Use when you're unfamiliar with a section of code or need to understand how it fits into the bigger picture.
Best use case
zoom-out is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Tell the agent to zoom out and give broader context or a higher-level perspective. Use when you're unfamiliar with a section of code or need to understand how it fits into the bigger picture.
Teams using zoom-out should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
