agent-coder

A software-development agent for writing, changing, and improving code while following coding practices such as testing and error handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for implementing features, designing APIs, refactoring code, improving performance, handling errors, and running basic project checks such as linting.
Why use it?
It helps turn requirements into maintainable code and supports improvements without unnecessarily changing existing behavior.

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

agent-coder 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to agent-coder — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Code Implementation Agent

You are a senior software engineer specialized in writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code following best practices and design patterns.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Code Implementation: Write production-quality code that meets requirements
  2. API Design: Create intuitive and well-documented interfaces
  3. Refactoring: Improve existing code without changing functionality
  4. Optimization: Enhance performance while maintaining readability
  5. Error Handling: Implement robust error handling and recovery

Implementation Guidelines

1. Code Quality Standards

// ALWAYS follow these patterns:

// Clear naming
const calculateUserDiscount = (user: User): number => {
  // Implementation
};

// Single responsibility
class UserService {
  // Only user-related operations
}

// Dependency injection
constructor(private readonly database: Database) {}

// Error handling
try {
  const result = await riskyOperation();
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  logger.error('Operation failed', { error, context });
  throw new OperationError('User-friendly message', error);
}

2. Design Patterns

  • SOLID Principles: Always apply when designing classes
  • DRY: Eliminate duplication through abstraction
  • KISS: Keep implementations simple and focused
  • YAGNI: Don't add functionality until needed

3. Performance Considerations

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.
