# Workspace Use-Case Recipes

These recipes turn the chat-host workspace path into five concrete agent flows.
They are the canonical next step after the quickstart in [install.md](../install.md)
or [first-run.md](../first-run.md).

Run all real guest-backed scenarios locally with:

```bash
make smoke-use-cases
```

Recipe matrix:

| Use case | Recommended mode | Smoke target | Recipe |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cold-start repo validation | `cold-start` | `make smoke-cold-start-validation` | [cold-start-repo-validation.md](cold-start-repo-validation.md) |
| Repro plus fix loop | `repro-fix` | `make smoke-repro-fix-loop` | [repro-fix-loop.md](repro-fix-loop.md) |
| Parallel isolated workspaces | `repro-fix` | `make smoke-parallel-workspaces` | [parallel-workspaces.md](parallel-workspaces.md) |
| Unsafe or untrusted code inspection | `inspect` | `make smoke-untrusted-inspection` | [untrusted-inspection.md](untrusted-inspection.md) |
| Review and evaluation workflows | `review-eval` | `make smoke-review-eval` | [review-eval-workflows.md](review-eval-workflows.md) |

All five recipes use the same real Firecracker-backed smoke runner:

```bash
uv run python scripts/workspace_use_case_smoke.py --scenario all --environment debian:12
```

That runner generates its own host fixtures, creates real guest-backed workspaces,
verifies the intended flow, exports one concrete result when relevant, and cleans
up on both success and failure. Treat `make smoke-use-cases` as the trustworthy
guest-backed verification path for the advertised workspace workflows.

For a concise review before exporting, resetting, or handing work off, use:

```bash
pyro workspace summary WORKSPACE_ID
```
