Development Templates

Templates for software engineering and development tasks.

Development templates are designed for software engineering workflows including code review, testing, debugging, and general development assistance.

Development Agent

A full-stack development assistant with comprehensive file and command access.

Default Tools

  • read-file - Read source code and configuration
  • write-file - Create new files
  • edit-file - Modify existing code
  • find-files - Locate files by pattern
  • search-files - Search code contents
  • run-command - Execute builds, tests, scripts
  • git-operations - Version control

Sample Prompts

  • "Create a new React component for user authentication"
  • "Fix the TypeScript errors in src/utils/"
  • "Add unit tests for the UserService class"
  • "Refactor this function to use async/await"

Best For

  • General development tasks
  • Feature implementation
  • Bug fixing
  • Code generation

This template enables run-command (high risk). Use with appropriate permission settings.


Code Review Agent

Specialized for automated code review with focus on quality and security.

Default Tools

  • read-file - Examine code
  • find-files - Locate relevant files
  • search-files - Find patterns and issues

Sample Prompts

  • "Review the changes in this PR for security issues"
  • "Check src/api/ for potential vulnerabilities"
  • "Analyze the codebase for performance bottlenecks"
  • "Find all instances of deprecated API usage"

Best For

  • Pull request reviews
  • Security audits
  • Code quality analysis
  • Pattern detection

This template uses read-only tools by default, making it safe for automated review pipelines.


Testing Agent

Focused on test generation, execution, and failure analysis.

Default Tools

  • read-file - Analyze code to test
  • write-file - Create test files
  • find-files - Locate test files
  • search-files - Find testable code
  • run-command - Execute test suites

Sample Prompts

  • "Generate unit tests for the PaymentService"
  • "Run the test suite and fix any failures"
  • "Add integration tests for the API endpoints"
  • "Improve test coverage for src/utils/"

Best For

  • Test generation
  • Test maintenance
  • Coverage improvement
  • Debugging test failures

Modernization Agent

Specialized for analyzing legacy codebases and planning modernization.

Default Tools

  • read-file - Analyze legacy code
  • find-files - Map codebase structure
  • search-files - Find patterns and dependencies
  • web-search - Research modern alternatives

Sample Prompts

  • "Analyze this codebase and identify the tech stack"
  • "Find all deprecated patterns that need updating"
  • "Create a migration plan from jQuery to React"
  • "Identify the riskiest parts of the codebase"

Best For

  • Legacy code analysis
  • Migration planning
  • Dependency updates
  • Technical debt assessment
