# Workflow Configuration
Compyle's workflow is divided into **three configurable stages** that guide the agent from understanding your code to delivering the final implementation.
***
## The Three Stages
### 1. Research
The agent analyzes your existing codebase to understand the project structure, dependencies, and patterns.
**When to use:**
* Working with existing projects
* Adding features to established codebases
* Building on top of current architecture
**When to skip:**
* Starting a brand new project
* No existing code to analyze
### 2. Planning
The agent asks targeted questions to clarify requirements and gather information before writing code.
**What happens:**
* Interactive questions in multiple formats
* Design suggestions with visual previews
* Architecture and implementation clarification
**Supports:**
* Android applications
* Web applications and websites
Learn more about how the agent asks questions in [Interactive Planning](/features/interactive_planning).
### 3. Implementation
The agent writes code based on the research findings and planning decisions.
**What happens:**
* Code generation across multiple files
* Integration with existing codebase
* Application of project patterns and standards
***
## Configuring Your Workflow
You can select which stages to include **before starting a task**. This allows you to:
* Skip Research for new projects with no existing code
* Jump straight to Implementation if requirements are already clear
* Customize the workflow to match your project needs
**Additional Configuration**
When starting a task, you can also select specific Skills and choose your preferred AI Model.
