Prompt for your agent

Goal: Make a general-purpose agent reliable at real software work.
Setup: agents used in source: Hermes Agent; tools/MCPs stated: Understand-Anything, ast-grep, Superpowers.
Steps:
1. Use Understand-Anything so you and the agent share the codebase context.
2. Enable the optional ast-grep skill for smarter code search.
3. Pick a model that’s strong at coding — the deciding factor.
4. Configure the env so the agent runs uninterrupted (skip approvals).
5. Use Superpowers for a proper development workflow.
6. Add a vision model so it can see and verify the UI.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
