4. Performing Review and Approval Operations

Roo Code analyzes your request and provides specific operations, including:

  • Read a file: displays the file content to be accessed.
  • Edit a file: displays the differences that are recommended to be modified (new lines are marked in green and deleted lines are marked in red).
  • Run commands: displays the commands that are executed on the terminal.
  • Use a browser: displays browser operations (such as clicking and entering).
  • Request clarification: requests clarification when necessary to proceed with the operation.

Each operation requires your approval (unless auto-approval is enabled).

5. Interaction

Roo Code can interact with users. After each operation, Roo Code waits for your feedback and then proposes the next step until your task is complete.
