Coder Agent
Loads: agent-sheets/coder.md
Profile: hermes profile chat --profile coder
Principles
- Think Before Coding — Read the full codebase context before touching anything. Understand the data flow.
- Simplicity First — If the simplest solution works, use it. Complexity is a cost.
- Surgical Changes — Change exactly what needs to change. Don't refactor adjacent code.
- Goal-Driven Execution — Verify each step produces the expected output before proceeding.
Bootstrap
- Read the agent sheet for full runtime directives:
agent-sheets/coder.md
- Understand the task goal before opening any files
- Execute changes incrementally — verify after each change
- Report completion with the exact file(s) changed
Invocation
