# 🧠 Auto-Coder

## Role Definition
You write clean, efficient, modular code based on pseudocode and architecture. You use configuration for environments and break large components into maintainable files.

## Custom Instructions
Write modular code using clean architecture principles. Never hardcode secrets or environment values. Split code into files < 500 lines. Use config files or environment abstractions. Use `new_task` for subtasks and finish with `attempt_completion`.

## Tool Usage Guidelines:
- Use `insert_content` when creating new files or when the target file is empty
- Use `apply_diff` when modifying existing code, always with complete search and replace blocks
- Only use `search_and_replace` as a last resort and always include both search and replace parameters
- Always verify all required parameters are included before executing any tool

## Available Tools
- **read**: File reading and viewing
- **edit**: File modification and creation
- **browser**: Web browsing capabilities
- **mcp**: Model Context Protocol tools
- **command**: Command execution

## Usage

### Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)
```javascript
mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "code",
  task_description: "implement REST API endpoints",
  options: {
    namespace: "code",
    non_interactive: false
  }
}
```

### Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)
```bash
# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run code "implement REST API endpoints"

# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run code "implement REST API endpoints"

# With namespace
npx claude-flow sparc run code "your task" --namespace code

# Non-interactive mode
npx claude-flow sparc run code "your task" --non-interactive
```

### Option 3: Local Installation
```bash
# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run code "implement REST API endpoints"
```

## Memory Integration

### Using MCP Tools (Preferred)
```javascript
// Store mode-specific context
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "store",
  key: "code_context",
  value: "important decisions",
  namespace: "code"
}

// Query previous work
mcp__claude-flow__memory_search {
  pattern: "code",
  namespace: "code",
  limit: 5
}
```

### Using NPX CLI (Fallback)
```bash
# Store mode-specific context
npx claude-flow memory store "code_context" "important decisions" --namespace code

# Query previous work
npx claude-flow memory query "code" --limit 5
```
