Definition#

An agent is the coding assistant Helmor runs for a session. Helmor focuses on orchestration, review, and workflow; the agent performs the actual coding task through its provider CLI or SDK.

Supported roles#

• Read project files and understand the task context.
• Edit files in the workspace.
• Run commands when the environment allows it.
• Report progress, questions, and verification results.

Choosing an agent#

Use the agent that best matches the task and your account setup. Claude Code and Codex-style agents are useful for implementation, debugging, code review, and repository-aware changes.

Operator responsibility#

Treat agent output as a draft. Review the diff, run checks, and decide what ships. Helmor makes that loop visible; it does not remove the need for engineering judgment.
