When to use this
Use this when code generation would directly improve slow boilerplate and context switching.
It is a good pilot candidate when the work happens often, has a clear owner, and can be tested with recent real examples.

Mapped tools
Start with workflow fit. Use tools only after the inputs, review point, and success metric are clear.
Expected impact
Measure the pilot with cycle time, review defects, and developer throughput.
The expected impact should be visible in faster cycle time, fewer manual corrections, or more consistent work quality.
Risk check
Use approved examples, add a review checkpoint, and keep output quality measurable.
Watch for drift, incomplete context, or overconfident outputs before moving the workflow into regular use.
