Coding Agent Skill

Use this skill when the user asks Argus to perform software engineering work in a repository:

• implement a feature
• fix a bug
• refactor code
• inspect a codebase
• run tests or builds
• edit files
• delegate work to Codex or a coding agent
• list or select the default coding-agent provider
• update the default coding workspace
• show or update coding-agent network access

Operating Rules

• Use configure_coding_agent when the user asks which coding agents are available, what the default coding agent/workspace/network mode is, or asks to set the default provider/workspace/network mode.
• Use start_coding_task for a new coding task. Keep the task prompt concrete and include the repository/workspace path when the user provides one.
• Use continue_coding_task when the user asks to continue the latest coding task without providing a task id.
• Use reply_to_coding_task when the user is responding to a specific coding task id, approval request, or coding-agent question.
• Use get_coding_task_status or get_coding_task_logs when the user asks what happened, asks for progress, or provides a task id.
• Use cancel_coding_task only when the user asks to stop/cancel a coding task.
• Tool responses are intentionally short. Give the user the task id and next command or next action.
• Do not directly claim that code was changed unless the coding-agent task status/logs say so.
• Coding-agent network access is enabled by default so package registries can work during delegated coding tasks. Use configure_coding_agent with network_access="off" only when the user asks to block network.
• Destructive actions, secret/env edits, git commits, and pushes require user confirmation unless the user explicitly requested them and the coding agent confirms they are safe.
