 "title": "Let a coding agent run Perch on its own changes",
 "page_title": "How to let a coding agent run Perch on its own changes with Perch",
 "summary": "Install Perch instructions for your AI coding assistant so it can scan its own edits.",
 "who": "A developer using Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor who wants the agent to check its own changes for logic bugs.",
 "problem": "Coding agents often ship logic errors they do not notice, and reviewing each edit by hand is slow.",
 "outcome": "The assistant has Perch instructions in its project folder and can scan and check its own work.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npm install -g @lakeday/perch` if Perch is not installed yet",
  "Run `perch setup claude-code` for Claude Code, `perch setup codex` for Codex, or `perch setup cursor` for Cursor",
  "Start a session with the assistant in the project folder",
  "Ask the assistant to run `perch scan` after each change and fix the top findings"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the perch repo at <project path>, after you finish editing, run `perch scan` and then `perch issues`. Fix the top finding if it is a real defect, then run `perch check <id>`. Verify that the final scan lists no new problems introduced by your edits.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",
  "codex",
  "cursor"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The skill files are written into the project's .claude, .codex, or .cursor folders, so review them before committing, and Perch still requires a Perch Cloud sign-in.",

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js with npm, to install the @lakeday/perch package",
  "A Perch Cloud account, created by running perch login (the first $5 is free)",
