Built-in Agents and Skills

The list and purposes of Qoder CLI CN's built-in Subagents and Bundled Skills

Qoder CLI CN ships with a set of Subagents and Skills out of the box, usable without installation. This page lists their names and purposes. For how to use extension capabilities, see Built-in Capabilities Overview.

Built-in Subagents

A Subagent is an independent execution unit the main Agent can spawn, used to handle specific kinds of tasks in isolation.
AgentPurposeConstraints
general-purposeGeneral Agent handling most user requests and complex multi-step tasks.Can use all tools.
ExploreExploration Agent that searches and understands code read-only; thoroughness can be specified (fast / medium / very thorough).Read-only; write and state-changing tools disabled; uses a lightweight model.
PlanPlanning Agent that designs implementation approaches, providing steps, key files, and architecture trade-offs.Read-only; write and state-changing tools disabled; inherits the current session's model.
statusline-setupHelps configure the status line.Interactive interface only (not registered in SDK mode).
qoder-guideAnswers questions about Qoder CLI CN features and usage.Interactive interface only (not registered in SDK mode); read-only tool set.
You can override a specific Agent's model, tools, or runtime configuration via the agents.overrides setting, or disable an Agent. Custom Agents can be created with the qodercn agents command.

Built-in Bundled Skills

Skills are reusable templates of specialized capability, invoked via /skill-name or automatically by the Agent as needed.
SkillPurpose
loopRun a prompt or slash command repeatedly at a fixed interval. See Loop Command Reference.
rememberReview automatically accumulated memory entries, suggest promotions into instruction files, and identify stale, conflicting, and duplicate entries (requires auto-memory enabled).
runLaunch and drive the project's actual application to observe changes at runtime.
run-skill-generatorCreate or improve the project-specific run skill — i.e. teach the Agent how to build, launch, and drive this project's application; useful for setting up the project, writing run instructions, or verifying build/run steps.
batchApply bulk changes across many files by spawning parallel worker agents in isolated git worktrees (requires the current directory to be a git repository).
debugDebugging assistant that helps locate and fix problems.
questSmart workflow orchestrator that guides feature development through dedicated subagents.
verifyVerify whether results meet expectations.
security-scanQoder cloud security scan (supports L2 lightweight and L3 deep review).
simplifySimplify code or processes.
mcp-configManage MCP server configuration.
