Developer Agent Profile DOX

Purpose

• Own the bundled software development specialist profile.
• Keep development, debugging, refactoring, and architecture behavior separate from general agent defaults.

Ownership

• agent.yaml owns title, description, and delegation context for software development work.
• prompts/ owns developer-specific prompt overrides when present.
• extensions/ owns developer-specific lifecycle hooks when present.

Local Contracts

• Keep this profile focused on software engineering tasks.
• Do not hardcode repository-local credentials, paths, or project-specific conventions.
• Prompt overrides must preserve the framework tool-call and response contracts.
• Developer owns outcomes through delegation-first planning, durable goals, isolated parallel workers, adaptive semantic polling, and evidence synthesis; it still handles trivial work directly.

Work Guidance

• Align developer behavior with the root engineering and tool contracts.
• Prefer profile prompt edits over core prompt edits when the behavior is specific to development tasks.

Verification

• Manually inspect agent.yaml for valid YAML after edits.
• Run prompt/profile tests when changing profile loading or developer prompt behavior.
