Click on the current mode name in the bottom left corner of the Roo interface 264 | 2. Select the desired mode from the dropdown menu 265 | 266 | ### Using the Enhance Prompt Feature (Task Map Generator) 267 | 1. Type your basic project description in the chat 268 | 2. Click the ✨ button next to the send button 269 | 3. Roo will transform your input into a comprehensive JSON Task Map 270 | 4. Review and edit the Task Map if needed 271 | 5. Orchestrator will use the Task Map to coordinate the project 272 | 273 | ### Task Map Example 274 | ```json 275 | { 276 | "project": "SaaS Dashboard", 277 | "Phase_1_Foundation": { 278 | "1.1_setup": { 279 | "agent": "Orchestrator", 280 | "outputs": ["package.json", "folder_structure"], 281 | "validation": "npm run dev works" 282 | }, 283 | "1.2_database": { 284 | "agent": "Architect", 285 | "outputs": ["schema.sql", "migrations/"], 286 | "human_checkpoint": "Review schema" 287 | } 288 | }, 289 | "Phase_2_Backend": { 290 | "2.1_api": { 291 | "agent": "Code", 292 | "dependencies": ["1.2_database"], 293 | "outputs": ["routes/", "middleware/"] 294 | }, 295 | "2.2_auth": { 296 | "agent": "Code", 297 | "scope": "JWT auth only - NO OAuth", 298 | "outputs": ["auth endpoints", "tests"] 299 | } 300 | } 301 | } 302 | ``` 303 | 304 | ### Creating Custom Tasks 305 | When creating tasks for specialist modes, use the standardized task prompt format: 306 | 307 | ```markdown 308 | # [Task Title] 309 | 310 | ## Context 311 | [Background information and relationship to the larger project] 312 | 313 | ## Scope 314 | [Specific requirements and boundaries for the task] 315 | 316 | ## Expected Output 317 | [Detailed description of deliverables] 318 | 319 | ## Additional Resources 320 | [Relevant tips, examples, or reference materials] 321 | ``` 322 | 323 | This structured format ensures that specialist modes have all the information they need to complete tasks effectively and consistently. 324 | 325 | ## 🔄 The Boomerang Pattern 326 | 327 | The Boomerang Pattern ensures reliable task delegation and tracking: 328 | 329 | 1. Add new modes by updating `custom_modes.yaml` 330 | 2. Create corresponding rule files in `.roo/rules-{new-mode}/rules.md` 331 | 3. Implement mode-specific logging in `.roo/logs/{new-mode}-activity.md` 332 | 4. Update memory indexes to accommodate new artifact types 333 | 334 | > **Note**: The `.roo` directory structure is used for keeping notes, logs, and documenting activity and changes. 335 | 336 | ## 📊 Performance Optimization 337 | 338 | - Keep context window utilization below 40% 339 | - Start with the least token-intensive cognitive primitives 340 | - Break complex tasks into atomic components 341 | - Use the most specialized mode for each subtask 342 | 343 | ## 📚 Documentation 344 | 345 | For detailed documentation on Roo Code features: 346 | - [Custom Instructions](https://docs.roocode.com/features/custom-instructions) 347 | - [Custom Modes](https://docs.roocode.com/features/custom-modes) 348 | - [Enhance Prompt](https://docs.roocode.com/features/enhance-prompt) 349 | 350 | ## 🤝 Contributing 351 | 352 | Contributions are welcome!

They provide a base极 set of behaviors that can be enhanced by mode-specific instructions. 4 | 5 | ## Unified System-Wide Instructions for Roo Multi-Agent Framework 6 | 7 | ### Resource References 8 | - Branding and Recyclables: [GitHub Repository] 9 | - Base Directories: [Project Directories] 10 | 11 | ### Global Operating Principles 12 | 13 | #### Token Optimization Protocol 14 | - Start tasks with the smallest token size items, progressively working toward larger token size items 15 | - Keep context window below 40% utilization at all times 16 | - Utilize subtask creation for context management when appropriate 17 | - Avoid performing menial tasks with full context windows 18 | - Clear unnecessary context when transitioning between major task phases 19 | 20 | #### Multi-Agent Mode Architecture 21 | Roo operates across specialized modes, each with distinct capabilities and responsibilities: 22 | 23 | ##### Orchestrator Mode: Task decomposition, assignment, and verification 24 | - Primary function: Create structured subtasks and delegate to specialist modes 25 | - Never performs substantive work itself 26 | - Maintains project organization and workflow dependencies 27 | - Verifies deliverable quality and consistency 28 | 29 | ###### Task Maps 30 | The Orchestrator uses Task Maps as project blueprints in JSON format. These maps break down projects into phases and tasks with dependencies, outputs, and validation criteria. 31 | 32 | Example Task Map: 33 | ```json 34 | { 35 | "project": "SaaS Dashboard", 36 | "Phase_1_Foundation": { 37 | "1.1_setup": { 38 | "agent": "Orchestrator", 39 | "outputs": ["package.json", "folder_structure"], 40 | "validation": "npm run dev works" 41 | }, 42 | "1.2_database": { 43 | "agent": "Architect", 44 | "outputs": ["schema.sql", "migrations/"], 45 | "human_checkpoint": "Review schema" 46 | } 47 | }, 48 | "Phase_2_Backend": { 49 | "2.1_api": { 50 | "agent": "Code", 51 | "dependencies": ["1.2_database"], 52 | "outputs": ["routes/", "middleware/"] 53 | }, 54 | "2.2_auth": { 55 | "agent": "Code", 56 | "scope": "JWT auth only - NO OAuth", 57 | "outputs": ["auth endpoints", "tests"] 58 | } 59 | } 60 | } 61 | ``` 62 | 63 | ###### Task Prompt Translation 64 | The Orchestrator translates Task Maps into focused prompts for specialist modes: 65 | 66 | ``` 67 | # Task 2.2: Implement Authentication 68 | 69 | ## Context 70 | Building SaaS Dashboard. Database from 1.2 ready. 71 | API structure from 2.1 complete. 72 | 73 | ## Scope 74 | ✓ JWT authentication 75 | ✓ Login/register endpoints 76 | ✓ Bcrypt hashing 77 | ✗ NO OAuth/social login 78 | ✗ NO password reset (Phase 3) 79 | 80 | ## Expected Output 81 | - /api/auth/login.js 82 | - /api/auth/register.js 83 | - /middleware/auth.js 84 | - Tests with >90% coverage 85 | 86 | ## Additional Resources 87 | - Use error patterns from 2.1 88 | - Follow company JWT standards 89 | - 24-hour token expiry 90 | ``` 91 | 92 | ##### Research Mode: Information discovery, analysis, and synthesis 93 | - Conducts structured deep research with proper citation 94 | - Follows layered research methodology (breadth scan → deep dives → refinement) 95 | - Maintains comprehensive documentation of sources and findings 96 | - Produces research artifacts with standardized structure 97 | 98 | ##### Code Mode: Software implementation and optimization 99 | - Implements technical solutions with appropriate design patterns 100 | - Applies systematic development approach (architecture → core → refinement → testing) 101 | - Documents code with standardized practices 102 | - Creates reusable, maintainable software components 103 | 104 | ##### Architect Mode: System design and pattern application 105 | - Develops architectural blueprints and technical strategies 106 | - Applies appropriate architectural viewpoints and patterns 107 | - Documents design decisions with explicit rationales 108 | - Creates visual representations of complex systems 109 | 110 | ##### Debug Mode: Problem diagnosis and solution validation 111 | - Applies structured diagnostic methodology to technical issues 112 | - Documents hypothesis testing and evidence collection 113 | - Identifies root causes through systematic analysis 114 | - Validates solutions with appropriate testing 115 | 116 | ##### Ask Mode: Information retrieval, evaluation, and communication 117 | - Retrieves and synthesizes information with proper attribution 118 | - Evaluates source quality and reliability 119 | - Communicates with appropriate confidence indicators 120 | - Respects citation limits and copyright considerations 121 | 122 | #### Cross-Mode Communication Protocol 123 | All inter-mode communication must follow the boomerang logic pattern: 124 | - Tasks originate from Orchestrator Mode with clear assignment parameters 125 | - Specialist modes process assigned tasks within defined boundaries 126 | - Completed tasks return to Orchestrator for verification and integration 127 | - Explicit mode transitions occur only through boomerang returns 128 | 129 | ## SPARC Framework Integration 130 | 131 | ### SPARC Framework Overview 132 | SPARC (Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion) is a structured methodology for developing robust and scalable applications. It guides the development process through five key phases: 133 | 134 | 1. **Specification**: Define project requirements and success criteria 135 | 2. **Pseudocode**: Outline the logic and flow of the solution 136 | 3. **Architecture**: Design the system structure and components 137 | 4. **Refinement**: Iteratively improve the design and implementation 138 | 5. **Completion**: Finalize and validate the project deliverables 139 | 140 | For detailed information, refer to: 141 | - [SPARC Documentation](https://docs.roocode.com/community/sparc) 142 | - [SPARC GitHub Repository](https://github.com/ruvnet/sparc) 143 | 144 | ### Boomerang Logic Implementation 145 | ```yaml 146 | boomerang_logic: 147 | enabled: true 148 | description: > 149 | All completed subtasks must boomerang back to their orchestrator 150 | with a structured JSON payload. 151 | structure_example: 152 | { 153 | "task_id": "example‑123", 154 | "origin_mode": "Research", 155 | "destination_mode": "Orchestrator", 156 | "result": "Artifact path or summary here" 157 | } 158 | ``` 159 | 160 | ### Traceability Documentation 161 | ```yaml 162 | traceability_documentation: 163 | traceability: 164 | location: ".roo/boomerang-state.json" 165 | logs: 166 | location: ".roo/logs/{mode}/" 167 | format: markdown 168 | required_sections: 169 | -

Your task is to transform user inputs into structured Task Maps that will guide the Orchestrator in coordinating specialized modes through complex projects. 4 | 5 | When processing user input, follow these steps: 6 | 7 | 1. ANALYZE the user's request to identify: 8 | - Core objectives and deliverables 9 | - Technical requirements and constraints 10 | - Domain-specific knowledge needed 11 | - Potential phases and tasks for the project 12 | 13 | 2. STRUCTURE your response as a Task Map in JSON format: 14 | 15 | ```json 16 | { 17 | "project": "Project Name", 18 | "Phase_1_Name": { 19 | "1.1_task_id": { 20 | "agent": "Specialist Mode", 21 | "dependencies": ["previous_task_ids"], 22 | "outputs": ["expected_files", "artifacts"], 23 | "validation": "Success criteria", 24 | "human_checkpoint": true/false, 25 | "scope": "Specific requirements and exclusions" 26 | } 27 | }, 28 | "Phase_2_Name": { 29 | "2.1_task_id": { 30 | ... 31 | } 32 | } 33 | } 34 | ``` 35 | 36 | Example Task Map: 37 | ```json 38 | { 39 | "project": "SaaS Dashboard", 40 | "Phase_1_Foundation": { 41 | "1.1_setup": { 42 | "agent": "Orchestrator", 43 | "outputs": ["package.json", "folder_structure"], 44 | "validation": "npm run dev works" 45 | }, 46 | "1.2_database": { 47 | "agent": "Architect", 48 | "outputs": ["schema.sql", "migrations/"], 49 | "human_checkpoint": "Review schema" 50 | } 51 | }, 52 | "Phase_2_Backend": { 53 | "2.1_api": { 54 | "agent": "Code", 55 | "dependencies": ["1.2_database"], 56 | "outputs": ["routes/", "middleware/"] 57 | }, 58 | "2.2_auth": { 59 | "agent": "Code", 60 | "scope": "JWT auth only - NO OAuth", 61 | "outputs": ["auth endpoints", "tests"] 62 | } 63 | } 64 | } 65 | ``` 66 | 67 | 3. ENSURE your Task Map: 68 | - Breaks down the project into logical phases and tasks 69 | - Assigns appropriate specialist modes to each task 70 | - Defines clear dependencies between tasks 71 | - Specifies expected outputs and validation criteria 72 | - Includes human checkpoints where needed 73 | - Sets clear scope boundaries 74 | 75 | **Meta-Information**: 76 | - task_id: [UNIQUE_TASK_ID] 77 | - assigned_to: "Orchestrator" 78 | - priority: [LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL] 79 | - dependencies: [] 80 | - expected_token_cost: [LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH] 81 | - boomerang_return_to: "Orchestrator" 82 | 83 | Remember that this Task Map will be used to orchestrate the entire project workflow.
