😺 Basic Flow (Roo 🪃 adapted to summon Aider as level 2 subagent)
🛸 AI Orchestrator
agent is your Basic Flow manager, so talk to it if you prefer to keep your agent management simple. It coordinates agents by breaking complex problems into logical subtasks and delegates each using the Roo Code nativenew_task
tool, providing comprehensive, context-rich instructions for each specialized AI agent. Each subtask receives explicit instructions to only perform the outlined work and signal completion using nativeattempt_completion
tool. The orchestrator tracks all subtasks, synthesizes results, and suggests workflow improvements to reach near complete automation of your dev workflow (this pdf might help). Works fine using fast models with reasoning enabled to speed up your workflow or deep reasoning models to add basic subtasks management.🤖 AI Code
and👾 AI Debug
agents (fast models like Gemini Flash 2.5 / GPT 4.1 work well here with lower temperature) delegate all code changes to Aider viaai_edit
tool and enforce strict MCP tool schema compliance, then review of Aider agent work with automated agent redelegation on unsatisfactory or missing results by checking diff (or stdout) output ofai_edit
tool call.👽 AI Architect
and🔬 AI Researcher
agents are responsible for architectural directions and geneal R&D needs. Deep reasoning models (like DeepSeek R1 / Gemini Pro 2.5 / OpenAI o1/o3/o4mini) are recommended for👽 AI Architect
, and internet-connected models (like Perplexity Sonar) are recommended for🔬 AI Researcher
. Adjust temperatures based on creativity level needed.
😼 Advanced Flow (如如 🧭 adapted to summon Aider as level 2 subagent) ℹ️
🧭 Rooroo Navigator
agent is your Advanced Flow manager, so talk to it if you prefer to keep your agent management in orderly manner. Responsible for overall project coordination and task orchestration, task lifecycles, delegation to Planner, Developer, Analyzer, Idea Sparker, processes your commands, and oversees your workflows. Providescontext.md
files to tasks, either the ones generated by🗓️ Rooroo Planner
, or generates new one if Planner wasn’t deemed neccessary for the task. If used without deep reasoning model, Navi tends to forget generating them on its own, but delegated agents will remind Navi, and task will be redelegated correctly withcontext.md
provided.
Decide on Navi LLM model choice like this: If you prefer speed but can tolerate some inefficencies, use fast models with reasoning enabled. If you don’t mind Navi thinking for a minute on every step to provide predictable results, use deep reasoning model here as well. Still can’t decide? This DeepSeek R1/V3 hybrid is a good candidate.👩🏻💻 Rooroo Developer
agent gets detailed instructions from🧭 Rooroo Navigator
viacontext.md
passed to it and delegates all code changes to Aider subagent via ai_edit tool then reviews Aider work results with automated subagent redelegation on unsatisfactory or missing results, outputs task result in strict JSON schema asking Navi for clarification or complaining if context file was not provided. (context file in question needs to be generated either by Navi itself or via invocation of specialized🗓️ Rooroo Planner
agent). Same model recommendations apply from Basic flow.📊 Rooroo Analyzer
agent combines the functions of👽 AI Architect
and🔬 AI Researcher
from Basic flow, it also gets task context viacontext.md
passed and complains back to Navi if it wasn’t found. Deep reasoning models remommended. Internet-connected models might provide more relevant analysis results. Adjust temperature based on creativity needed.🗓️ Rooroo Planner
agent decomposes complex goals requiring multi-expert coordination into clear, actionable sub-tasks for other agents to do. It is also the main supplier ofcontext.md
files for them. Deep reasoning model also recommended.💡 Rooroo Idea Sparker
agent is your brainstorming copilot and innovation catalyst, talk to it if you’d like some creative thinking and assumption challenging done, or just explore something new with it. Deep reasoning model with higher temperature set or internet-connected model recommended here.

4️⃣ AI System Prompt Example
ℹ️ Show Prompt
**Persona: Lead Developer AI** You are an expert, hands-on software developer. Your primary function is to understand user requests, formulate a clear plan, and execute that plan using the provided development tools. You are methodical, precise, and communicative. Your goal is to write, modify, and manage code and repository state to solve user problems effectively. **Core Objective: Plan, Execute, Verify** For any given task, you will operate in a clear cycle: 1. **Plan:** Analyze the request and create a public, step-by-step plan. 2. **Execute:** Perform one step of the plan at a time using the appropriate tool. 3. **Verify & Report:** Confirm the result of each action and inform the user of the outcome before proceeding to the next step. **Guiding Principles** * **User-Centric Initialization:** At the very beginning of the conversation, your first action must be to ask the user for the absolute path to the project's working directory. Store this as the `{repo_path}` for all subsequent operations. * **Path Integrity:** The `{repo_path}` is critical for all tool calls. * **Instruction:** For any `devtools` tool, you must provide the `{repo_path}` in the `repo_path` parameter. * **Instruction:** When using `execute_command` for file operations (e.g., `touch`, `mkdir`, `rm`), construct the command using the absolute path by prefixing the filename with `{repo_path}`. * **Tool Safety and Clarity:** Your tool inputs must be predictable and safe. * **Instruction:** When using the `ai_edit` tool, you must describe any symbols that could break a JSON structure (like square or curly brackets) in plain language within the `instructions` field. This ensures the integrity of the tool call. **Example Workflow** This example demonstrates the correct application of your principles for a task: "Add error handling to the `database_connect` function in `utils.py`." *** **Step 1: Ask for the Repository Path (Your First Action)** **You:** "To begin, please provide the absolute path to your repository's working directory." **User:** "/home/user/projects/my-flask-app" --- **Step 2: Formulate and Share the Plan** **You:** "Understood. My plan is as follows: 1. Read the content of `src/utils.py` to understand the current structure of the `database_connect` function. 2. Use the `ai_edit` tool to add a `try...except` block to the function. 3. List the files in the `src` directory to confirm the modification timestamp has changed." --- **Step 3: Execute Step 1 of the Plan (Read File)** **You:** "First, I will read the file to get the necessary context." <tool_code> print(devtools.read_file( repo_path="/home/user/projects/my-flask-app", file_path="src/utils.py" )) </tool_code> --- **Step 4: Execute Step 2 of the Plan (Edit File with Verbal Descriptions)** **You:** "Now I will add the error handling." <tool_code> print(devtools.ai_edit( repo_path="/home/user/projects/my-flask-app", file_path="src/utils.py", instructions="""Wrap the existing logic inside the `database_connect` function with error handling. 1. Before the line `connection = ...`, insert a new line with the word 'try' followed by a colon. 2. Indent all the existing code within the function one level deeper. 3. After the existing code, add a new line with the word 'except', followed by 'Exception', the word 'as', the variable 'e', and a colon. 4. Inside the except block, add a line to print the phrase 'An error occurred:', followed by the error variable 'e'. """ )) </tool_code> --- **Step 5: Execute Step 3 of the Plan (Verify with `execute_command`)** **You:** "Finally, I will verify the file was modified." <tool_code> print(devtools.execute_command( repo_path="/home/user/projects/my-flask-app", command="ls -l src/" )) </tool_code>
⁉️ Known Issues and Workarounds
💾 Direct Code Editing vs 🤖 AI-assisted Editing
Issue:
- 🔍 When using the
write_to_file
tool for direct code editing, especially with languages like JavaScript that utilize template literals (strings enclosed by backticks), you may encounter unexpected syntax errors. This issue stems from how the AI assistant generates thecontent
string, where backticks and dollar signs within template literals might be incorrectly escaped with extra backslashes (\
).
Mitigation:
- 🔨 The
write_to_file
,search_and_replace
andgit_apply_diff
tools are dynamically integrated withtsc
(TypeScript compiler) for conditional type checking of.js
,.mjs
, and.ts
files on edit. The output oftsc --noEmit --allowJs
is provided as part of the tool’s response. AI assistants should parse this output to detect any compiler errors and should not proceed with further actions if errors are reported, indicating a problem with the written code.
Workarounds:
- 🤖 (most reliable) Instruct your AI assistant to delegate editing files to MCP-compatible coding agent by using
ai_edit
tool instead, as it is more suitable for direct code manipulation, automatically commits changes and produces resulting diff as tool output, and let AI assistant act as task orchestrator that will write down plans and docs withwrite_to_file
tool then delegate actual coding to specialized agent, get its report (diff) as tool call result, usegit_read_file
tool to double check agent’s work, and manage commits and branches (ai_edit
tool basically integratesAider
via some logic ported from its MCP bridge). - 🖥️ (if you’re feeling lucky) Instruct your AI assistant to craft a terminal command to edit problematic file via
execute_command
tool.
❔ Aider limitations due to its commit-first nature
Issue:
- 🔍 When using
ai_edit
tool in a dirty repo state, e.g. during merge or rebase active, it will probably get stuck trying to apply commit.
Workarounds:
- ⚙️ Temporarily disable auto commiting functions in your
.aider.conf.yml
configuration file.
🙈 Automation-Related Security Considerations
- 🛡️ For automated workflows, always run MCP Servers in isolated environments (🐧Firejail or 🪟Sandboxie)
- 🗃️ Filesystem access boundaries are maintained via passing
repo_path
to every tool call, so AI assistant only has read/write access to files in the current workspace (relative to any path AI decides to pass asrepo_path
, make sure system prompt is solid on cwd use). - ⚠️
execute_command
doesn’t have strict access boundaries defined, while it does execute all commands with cwd set torepo_path
(relative to it), nothing is there to stop AI from passing full paths to other places it seems fit; reading, altering or deleting unintended data on your whole computer, so execise extreme caution with auto-allowingexecute_command
tool or at least don’t leave AI assistant unattended while doing so. MCP server is not responsible for your AI assistant executing rm -rf * in your home folder.
