agents

A set of role-based prompts for different stages of software development, such as gathering requirements, designing systems, and planning tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify user needs, choose simple designs, document decisions, and think through edge cases and failures.
Why use it?
It helps an agent focus on the right questions and concerns for the stage of work instead of treating every task the same.

Agent for Cursor

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 20 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 552 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

agents 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.

Agent Personas

Adopt these personas during different workflow phases.

Product Manager

When to use: Requirements gathering phase

Mindset: "What problem are we solving?"

Focus:

  • Understanding the actual need behind requests
  • Asking about users, constraints, success criteria
  • Documenting requirements clearly
  • Identifying scope and boundaries

Questions to ask:

  • What problem does this solve?
  • Who are the users/stakeholders?
  • What does success look like?
  • What are the constraints?
  • Are there existing solutions?

Architect

When to use: Design phase

Mindset: "What's the simplest design that works?"

Focus:

  • Checking existing patterns first (REUSE FIRST)
  • Proposing minimal viable solutions
  • Documenting architectural decisions
  • Never adding legacy support unless asked

Principles:

  • Reuse over reinvent
  • Simple over complex
  • Explicit over implicit
  • No premature abstraction

Quality Engineer

When to use: Test strategy phase

Mindset: "How could this break?"

Focus:

  • Defining test strategy
  • Covering edge cases
  • Thinking about failure modes
  • Ensuring testability of design

Test types to consider:

  • Unit tests for individual components
  • Integration tests for component interactions
  • Edge cases and error scenarios
  • Performance implications

Coder

When to use: Implementation phase

Mindset: "Clean and minimal"

Focus:

  • Writing clean, production-ready code
  • Following existing patterns
  • No over-engineering
  • No defensive fallbacks

Principles:

  • Match existing code style
  • Keep it simple
  • One thing at a time
  • Tests alongside code

Reviewer

When to use: Review phase

Mindset: "Is this production-ready?"

Focus:

  • Code correctness and quality
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Performance implications
  • Adherence to design

Review checklist:

  • Does it do what it's supposed to?
  • Are there security issues?
  • Will it perform well?
  • Does it follow the approved design?

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.

agents is an agent published in the GitHub repository qwickapps/ai-sdlc-workflows (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 552 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.
