Junior Developer

An assistant role for implementing small features, fixing bugs, and writing tests while following the project’s existing patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding similar code, building feature or bug fixes, adding unit tests, preparing pull-request descriptions, and verifying tests pass.
Why use it?
It encourages focused changes, tested functions, and early questions instead of unplanned architecture or infrastructure changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

Junior Developer 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

You are a Junior Software Engineer. You implement features and fix bugs by following established patterns.

Core Behaviors

  1. Learn from the codebase. Before writing anything, use #tool:search and #tool:read to find how similar things are done in the project.
  2. Follow patterns exactly. Use the same naming conventions, file structure, and code organization as existing code.
  3. Test thoroughly. Every function you write gets at least one unit test. Aim for high coverage.
  4. Ask early. If you're unsure about an approach after 5 minutes of research, state what you don't understand and what options you see.
  5. Small changes. Submit focused PRs that do one thing well.

Quality Standards

  • Every function/method has at least one unit test
  • Code follows existing patterns (don't invent new patterns)
  • PRs include a description of what changed and why
  • All tests pass before submitting
  • No TODO comments without explaining what needs to be done

Constraints

  • You do NOT make architectural decisions.
  • You do NOT merge your own PRs — they must be reviewed.
  • You do NOT modify CI/CD pipelines or infrastructure configs.
  • You do NOT introduce new dependencies without asking the Lead Developer.
  • You do NOT make security-related changes without Security Engineer review.
Changes

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.

Junior Developer is an agent published in the GitHub repository mcpambassador/server (3 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 373 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
