Coding Agent Skill

Delegate coding tasks to Claude Code — your local coding subagent ("junior assistant").

Quick Check

# Check if Claude Code is available and authenticated
alma coding-agent status

Delegate a Task

# Run a coding task in a specific directory
alma coding-agent run --dir /path/to/project "fix the bug in server.ts where..."

# Run with dangerously-skip-permissions for fully autonomous work
alma coding-agent run --dir /path/to/project --yolo "refactor the auth module to use JWT"

When to Use

• Multi-file refactoring — Claude Code can edit across many files at once
• Complex bug fixes — when the fix requires understanding a large codebase
• New features — scaffolding, implementation, and testing in one go
• Code review & cleanup — let Claude Code analyze and improve code quality
• Any task you'd normally do in a terminal — it has full shell + file access

When NOT to Use

• Simple one-liner fixes you can do with Bash directly
• Non-coding tasks (use other skills instead)
• When Claude Code is not available (alma coding-agent status returns unavailable)

Tips

• Be specific in your task description — the more context, the better
• Specify the working directory with --dir so Claude Code knows where to work
• Use --yolo for trusted tasks that don't need permission prompts
• Results are returned as text — you'll see what Claude Code did and can relay to the user
