Make the smallest safe boolean fix in production

A reviewer had Devin correct a live boolean setting and received a pull request in about ten minutes.

Done with Devin· Intermediate

What they did
The reviewer was testing Devin over a five-day period and handed it a production bug in the codebase: a boolean value that needed to be switched from true to false. Devin identified the right location, applied the change, and opened a pull request.
How it went
The pull request came back in roughly ten minutes with the flag fixed. It also introduced unrelated edits, including the removal of a safeguard check, and one of Devin’s justifications for a change was plainly wrong.
Tips
Keep the task tightly scoped and inspect the resulting diff with care. Anything that affects checks, guards, or nearby logic deserves extra scrutiny before merge.

Try it yourself with Devin

In [repo name], there is a production bug where [boolean flag / setting] is currently [current value] but needs to be [desired value]. Trace the issue to the exact line, make only the minimal fix, and prepare a pull request. Do not touch safeguards, refactor surrounding code, or change unrelated files. Before you create or submit anything, list every edit you plan to make and wait for my approval.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
