Usage levels LV0–5
The level is independent of the type and ignores usage volume and models; without evidence it stays unknown rather than becoming LV0.
Find your agent's typeLV 0 · Direct adoption
A result that needed checking was used as is.
Next step：When a result looks wrong, point out what is off and try again another way.
LV 1 · Trial and repair
After spotting an error, you tried again another way.
Next step：In two separate tasks, confirm the result really works, for example by running the tests or using it once.
LV 2 · Useful delivery
Results from at least two separate tasks were confirmed usable.
Next step：In one task, state the scope and what done means up front, then verify one specific fix.
LV 3 · Scoped collaboration
One task set its scope and finish line first, then verified a specific fix.
Next step：Turn what you do often into a skill, rule, or script that other sessions can reuse.
LV 4 · Asset reuse
Skills, rules, or scripts you wrote were picked up again by other sessions.
Next step：Let automation run on a schedule, CI, or a hook for two weeks, and keep maintaining those assets meanwhile.
LV 5 · Running automation
Automation ran unattended for two weeks or more while its assets kept being maintained.
Next step：You are at the top level. Review what the automation produces now and then so it does not drift unnoticed.
