# Edit agent code in Warp

Review, edit, and refine AI-generated code diffs directly in Warp — accept, reject, or modify changes before applying them.

Warp lets you see, edit, and refine AI-generated code diffs directly within the app.  
This makes debugging and bug-fix workflows fast, transparent, and interactive.

### 1\. Starting an agent task

When you start an agent task, Warp:

1.  Uses your prompt and context
2.  Builds a task list
3.  Searches across your codebase using tools like:
    -   Grep
    -   Codebase embeddings
    -   Semantic search

Warp shows progress step-by-step, including what it’s searching and which files are being modified.

### 2\. Reviewing diffs

Warp generates diffs for every proposed change.  
You can:

-   Accept changes
-   Refine them with a follow-up prompt (`Cmd+R`)
-   Or directly edit the code in the inline editor view

This editor view works like a lightweight IDE — perfect for quick corrections before applying.

* * *

### 3\. Applying or skipping changes

Once you’re happy with a diff:

-   Click **Apply Changes** to accept it
-   Or **Fast-Forward** to let Warp automatically continue the rest of the fix sequence

You can control this level of autonomy globally in **Settings** > **AI** > **Autonomy**.

* * *

### 4\. Compiling and verifying fixes

After applying changes, you can immediately test your build, like:

```
cargo run
```

Warp monitors compilation, verifies results, and runs post-checks automatically.

* * *

### 5\. Visual verification

In this example, the bug involved a checkbox not being honored in the UI.  
  
After the agent’s fix:

-   The checkbox logic now works as intended
-   The model picker toggles correctly
-   The UI behaves as expected
