# Coding Agent > Delegate coding, repo, edit, debug, refactor, and test tasks to a persistent coding agent. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/coding-agent-7` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/coding-agent-7` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/coding-agent-7/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/coding-agent-7 --- # Coding Agent Skill Use this skill when the user asks Argus to perform software engineering work in a repository: - implement a feature - fix a bug - refactor code - inspect a codebase - run tests or builds - edit files - delegate work to Codex or a coding agent - list or select the default coding-agent provider - update the default coding workspace - show or update coding-agent network access ## Operating Rules - Use `configure_coding_agent` when the user asks which coding agents are available, what the default coding agent/workspace/network mode is, or asks to set the default provider/workspace/network mode. - Use `start_coding_task` for a new coding task. Keep the task prompt concrete and include the repository/workspace path when the user provides one. - Use `continue_coding_task` when the user asks to continue the latest coding task without providing a task id. - Use `reply_to_coding_task` when the user is responding to a specific coding task id, approval request, or coding-agent question. - Use `get_coding_task_status` or `get_coding_task_logs` when the user asks what happened, asks for progress, or provides a task id. - Use `cancel_coding_task` only when the user asks to stop/cancel a coding task. - Tool responses are intentionally short. Give the user the task id and next command or next action. - Do not directly claim that code was changed unless the coding-agent task status/logs say so. - Coding-agent network access is enabled by default so package registries can work during delegated coding tasks. Use `configure_coding_agent` with `network_access="off"` only when the user asks to block network. - Destructive actions, secret/env edits, git commits, and pushes require user confirmation unless the user explicitly requested them and the coding agent confirms they are safe. --- > Source: [quarqlabs/agent-oss](https://github.com/quarqlabs/agent-oss) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
