# Plan then confirm

Carlos’s standing rule: **“dime tu plan y luego te confirmo.”**

Applies to every bot and every skill that would change files, catalogs, or downloads.

## Do

1. Look first (read-only).
2. State a **very simple** plan: from → to, what stays, undo.
3. **Stop.** Wait for an explicit yes.
4. Only then run (`mv -n`, downloads, writes). Never overwrite. Never delete.

## Do not

- Do not “just start” because the plan looks obvious.
- Do not bury the plan in a long report.
- Do not treat silence as yes.
