FAQPage Schema
How do I switch AI behavior modes for specific software engineering tasks?

You can switch AI behavior modes by selecting from predefined options like Brainstorm, Implement, Debug, Review, Teach, or Ship to align AI actions with your specific task goals. This automatically maps the behavior and formats output consistently for the chosen mode.

What is the best way to structure AI responses for debugging and code review?

Using dedicated operational modes is the best way to structure AI responses, applying Debug mode to systematically diagnose issues and prevent regressions, or Review mode to conduct thorough assessments of code, architecture, and security.

Can I use predefined modes for deployment planning and brainstorming?

Yes, you can use Ship mode to ensure deployment stability with checklists, and Brainstorm mode to generate ideas, alternatives, and clarifying questions for project planning workflows.

How do I get production-ready code and actionable steps from an AI assistant?

You can get production-ready code by switching the AI to Implement mode, which produces concise code outputs and actionable steps tailored to your coding tasks. This ensures focused execution for implementation requirements.

Does teaching mode explain programming concepts with fundamentals and exercises?

Yes, Teach mode explains concepts by providing fundamentals, analogies, and exercises. It is designed to align the AI's behavior with educational tasks for structured learning.
