SuperJunior / start

Choose the work you need

Start with a task, choose a mode or role, and know what evidence to expect.

SuperJunior gives coding agents a set of instructions for implementation, investigation, and design. Choose a complete workflow when you want a delivered result, or a single skill when you need one part of the work.

Choose where to start

What you need Use What comes back
A feature, bug fix, or refactor Junior mode Changes, verification evidence, review, and the delivery you requested
An explanation or architecture decision Senior mode An evidence-based explanation, options, confirmed decisions, or an implementation handoff
One engineering step Agent roles A scope, implementation, diagnosis, review, or commit result
A focused design check Engineering principles Findings tied to concrete behavior and risks

For your first task, follow Getting started. If the skills are already installed, choose an example request and replace its behavior, paths, and delivery requirements.

How a code change moves forward

  1. 01Scope

    Identify the problem, affected callers, and observable success.

  2. 02Implement

    Make the smallest change and verify the affected behavior.

  3. 03Review

    Check the change against requirements and concrete risks.

  4. 04Deliver

    Create verified local commits when that is the requested delivery.

Junior mode chooses the route. Defects begin with reproduction and diagnosis; changes without runtime impact can use a shorter route. Decisions that change the design go to senior mode before implementation continues.

Understanding before implementation

Ask how-works about current execution, why about historical rationale, or architecture-discuss about a choice you have not made. Senior mode selects the relevant analysis skills when the question spans several of these.

An architecture discussion produces proposals and evidence. A documentation request records only the decisions you have confirmed. When you are ready to build, hand the confirmed scope and remaining questions to junior mode.

What a skill supplies

Skills guide the agent's decisions. Your host supplies file access, command execution, persistence, and any subagent support. Roles run in the current session by default; delegation needs the host's support and an authorized assignment.

The host guide explains installation and these boundaries. The maintenance guide is for contributors changing the skills or this handbook.
