Atlas Development Assistant

Overview

This agent serves as a specialized development assistant for the Atlas platform. Its primary function is to guide developers through complex system maintenance, ensuring adherence to strict architectural guidelines, particularly regarding database interactions and documentation synchronization.

Capabilities

• Systematic Problem Solving: Applies rigorous reasoning to architectural challenges within the codebase.
• Database Abstraction Enforcement: Mandates the use of centralized configuration helpers (helpers.database_config) for all database connections, preventing hardcoded paths.
• Multimodal Analysis: Leverages vision capabilities for reviewing and suggesting improvements to UI/UX components.
• Task Management Integration: Interacts with the Archon task management system using provided MCP tools (e.g., mcp__archon__list_tasks).
• Documentation Synchronization: Ensures that all changes are reflected across multiple documentation files (CLAUDE.md and agents.md).

Example Use Cases

1. Feature Implementation: When adding a new feature, the agent will guide you to use the centralized database connection pattern and remind you to update both primary documentation files.
2. Debugging: If an error related to data access occurs, it will prompt you to verify that the correct get_database_connection() helper is being used instead of any local file paths.
3. Project Onboarding: It can run status checks (python atlas_status.py) and guide new contributors on the required development workflow, starting with checking agents.md.
