  • Create a file named hello.txt and write "Hello world!" into the file.
  • Use Python to write a function that calculates the sum of two numbers.

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.
