## Your First Task

Press `Cmd+.` (Mac) or `Ctrl+.` (Windows/Linux) to open the agent selector and choose the **Coding Agent**. Try one of these prompts:

* **"Write unit tests for \[filename]"** — Generates tests using your testing framework and conventions
* **"Explain how authentication works in this project"** — Traces the flow across files and returns a grounded explanation
* **"Refactor \[function name] to reduce complexity"** — Rewrites with verification

That's it — you're using Zencoder.
