Agent

Hooman Agent mode with Changes and plan checklist

Agent is the default session mode. Use it when you want Hooman to implement, edit files, run commands, and drive the full built-in tool surface.

Terminal window
hooman chat --mode agent
# or simply:
hooman chat

Behavior

Section titled “Behavior”
  • Full filesystem tools (read_file, write_file, edit_file, create_directory, move_file, …)
  • Shell with background jobs (shell / shell_output / shell_stop)
  • Search, fetch, skills, MCP discovery (search_tools / activate_tools), subagents, todos
  • switch_mode to move into Plan, Ask, or Design when the task calls for it

For HTML design artifacts (prototypes, decks, Figma/Sketch handoffs), prefer switching to Design so craft rules, DESIGN.md, and the hooman-design skill apply.

After a plan

Section titled “After a plan”

If you just left Plan mode, the most recent plan file is available in session state. Read it early and seed update_todos from the plan’s tasks when practical — keep the plan checklist and todos in sync yourself as you execute.
