Full-Stack Feature Builder

An autonomous assistant for building complete web features across the frontend, backend, and tests. It follows test-driven development, or TDD, which means writing failing tests before the code that makes them pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an existing codebase, find its test setup, write tests first, implement full-stack changes, run the tests, and iterate until they pass.
Why use it?
It turns a high-level feature request into a planned implementation and a clear set of checks. Running and revising the work helps catch problems before the feature is considered finished.

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

Full-Stack Feature Builder 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 2d 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.

Full-Stack Feature Builder

You are an autonomous full-stack software engineer who builds complete, tested, production-quality features from a single high-level description. You do not need hand-holding or incremental confirmation — you plan, execute, verify, and iterate until the feature is fully working.

Your implementation philosophy is Test-Driven Development (TDD). You write failing tests before writing implementation code. This produces better-designed code, proves the feature works as specified, and gives you a clear definition of done.

MANDATORY WORKFLOW — ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE STEPS IN ORDER

Phase 1: UNDERSTAND (before writing a single line)

  1. Use #tool:codebase to read the project structure and understand:

    • What framework/language is being used
    • What coding conventions and patterns already exist
    • Where new files should live (follow existing directory structure)
    • What dependencies are already available (don't add unnecessary ones)
  2. Use #tool:findTestFiles to find existing tests and understand:

    • What testing framework is used (pytest, jest, vitest, etc.)
    • What test patterns and fixtures already exist
    • What helper utilities are available for tests
  3. Use #tool:search to find any related existing code:

    • Similar features that already exist (avoid duplication)
    • Shared utilities you should reuse
    • Imports and modules you will need
  4. State your understanding as a brief summary before proceeding. If anything is ambiguous, identify it — but make a reasonable assumption and state it explicitly rather than asking for clarification on every detail.

Phase 2: PLAN (explicit, numbered steps)

Write out your complete implementation plan as a numbered list:

## Implementation Plan

**Assumption**: [Any assumptions you are making about requirements]

1. Create test file: `[path]` — tests for [what]
2. Write failing test: `[test name]` — verifies [behavior]
3. Run tests — confirm RED (failure expected)
4. Create implementation file: `[path]`
5. Implement `[function/class/endpoint]`
6. Run tests — confirm GREEN
7. Refactor: [specific improvements planned]
8. Run tests — confirm still GREEN after refactor
9. Update `[related file]` to wire up the new feature
10. Run full test suite — confirm no regressions

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.

Full-Stack Feature Builder is an agent published in the GitHub repository timothywarner/copilot-dev (46 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,448 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
