## Getting started

Follow these steps to create and execute your first Traycer task:

<Steps>
  <Step title="1. Open Traycer">
    Launch Traycer from your IDE's command palette or sidebar. You'll see the
    Traycer interface with options to create new tasks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="2. Choose your workflow">
    Select either **Plan** (for single-PR tasks), **Phases** (for complex multi-step projects), **Review** (for code review tasks), or **Epic** (for specs, tickets, and workflow-guided collaboration) based on your needs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="3. Describe your goal">
    Provide a clear description of what you want to achieve.
  </Step>

  <Step title="4. Review the plan or artifacts">
    Traycer will generate the next step for your chosen mode. Review the plan, specs, or tickets and iterate until everything matches your intent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="5. Execute the plan or tickets">
    Hand off the plan or tickets to your AI coding assistant.
  </Step>

  <Step title="6. Verify results">
    Use Traycer's verification process to ensure the implementation meets your requirements.
