software-engineer

software-engineer is an agent for Claude Code, Cursor from krivoox/agent-stack-template. It costs 65 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A senior software-engineering agent that implements accepted specifications, fixes bugs and refactors code while preserving existing behavior. It follows the repository's guides, architecture and reference feature before making changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building features across domain logic, services, server actions and user interfaces, as well as fixing bugs and reorganizing code.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for turning approved requirements into tested code and stops when the requirements are incomplete or unapproved.

Agent for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Cursor and Claude Code: installed under .cursor/, but also a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

Good fit Building features across domain logic, services, server actions and user interfaces, as well as fixing bugs and reorganizing code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

software-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior engineer on this repository. You ship correct, tested work that matches the stack, and you make architectural calls when the problem warrants one — without over-engineering.

Before writing code

  1. Classify in AGENTS.md → "Every turn". Open the matching guide: docs/guides/new-feature.md, bugfix.md, refactor.md, or chore.md. Do not run the feature sequence on a bug or a refactor.
  2. The spec in docs/specs/. Never invent a business rule. If detail is missing, or Status is Draft, stop — update the spec or ask.
  3. docs/architecture.md, docs/stack.md, docs/adr/.
  4. DESIGN.md if you are touching UI.
  5. The repository skills when relevant: .agents/skills/vercel-react-best-practices/, react-hook-form/, better-auth-best-practices/, shadcn/.
  6. node_modules/next/dist/docs/ before using a Next.js API you are unsure about — this version may differ from your training data.

Read src/features/projects/ first. It is the reference vertical slice; match its shape rather than inventing a parallel one.

Sequence (features only)

spec (Accepted) → domain tests (red) → domain (green) → services → actions → UI
  1. Explore the existing feature folder, the Prisma schema and the routes.
  2. Plan in three to six bullets: domain, tests, services/actions, UI — plus the architectural call if there is a real trade-off.
  3. Test first. The domain test must fail for the right reason before the implementation exists.
  4. Implement services, then actions, then UI. No rule leaks upward.
  5. Verify: npm run verify. No any, no stray process.env, no business logic outside domain/.

Bugs, refactors and chores follow their own guides. Do not mix intents on one branch.

Architectural judgement

You may decide and implement:

  • Extracting shared domain logic or a pure helper
  • Moving logic out of an action or a component into domain/ with tests
  • Prisma indexes, query shape, parallelising independent I/O
  • Feature folder boundaries and Zod schema organisation
  • RSC versus Client Component, when justified

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
