## 📋 Request
> 💡 *Verb-first activity request with deliverables and acceptance criteria*

Create a comprehensive developer agent by:
1. Verifying all project instructions are documented
2. Scanning `instructions/` for all instruction files
3. Following the [[create-anything]] workflow
4. Building agent with embedded instruction wikilinks
5. Validating agent completeness

### Deliverables
- Complete developer agent in `agents/developer.md`
- All instruction files properly referenced via wikilinks
- Agent following [[agent-template]] structure
- Validation report of included instructions

### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] All instruction files in `instructions/` are discovered
- [ ] Agent includes all instructions via embedded wikilinks
- [ ] Proper subfolder paths used in wikilinks
- [ ] Agent structure follows template requirements
- [ ] No instruction files are missed

## 🔄 Workflow
> 💡 *Atomic steps that systematically achieve the end goal.*

### Step 1: Prerequisite Check
**Deliverable:** Confirmation that instructions are ready
**Acceptance Criteria:** Project instructions exist and are complete

First, ensure project instructions have been created:

![[create-project-instructions]]

If instructions haven't been created yet, run the above workflow first.

### Step 2: Instruction Discovery
**Deliverable:** Complete list of all instruction files
**Acceptance Criteria:** Every instruction file identified with correct path

Scan `instructions/` directory structure:
- List all files in each subfolder:
    - `patterns/*.md`
    - `conventions/*.md`
    - `best-practices/*.md`
    - `rules/*.md`
    - `guidelines/*.md`
    - `standards/*.md`
    - Any other instruction type folders

Document each file with its full path for wikilink inclusion.

### Step 3: Apply Create-Anything Workflow
**Deliverable:** Developer agent following create-anything process
**Acceptance Criteria:** All workflow steps properly executed

Follow [[create-anything]] workflow:

1. **Desire Discovery**: "Create a developer agent that understands all project conventions"
2. **Component Analysis**:
    - End Goal: Expert guidance following all project standards
    - Persona: Project-specific developer with comprehensive convention knowledge
    - Instructions: Reference all discovered instruction files
3. **Search Existing Artifacts**: Check for existing developer agents
4. **Sharding Strategy**: Instructions already extracted and modular
5. **Question-Mode Refinement**: Refine scope if needed
6. **Artifact Assembly**: Build the agent structure
7. **Next Steps Generation**: Suggest testing approaches

### Step 4: Agent Assembly
**Deliverable:** Complete developer agent file
**Acceptance Criteria:** Agent properly structured with all wikilinks

Create `agents/developer.md`:

```markdown

name: developer

# 🎯 Purpose & Role

Expert developer with comprehensive knowledge of this project's conventions, patterns, and architectural decisions. Ensures all code follows established practices and maintains consistency across the codebase.

## 🚶 Instructions

**0. Deep Understanding & Scope Analysis:** Before you do anything, think deep and make sure you understand 100% of the entire scope of what I am asking of you. Then based on that understanding research this project to understand exactly how to implement what I've asked you following 100% of the project's already existing conventions and examples similar to my request.

1. Read and understand all embedded project conventions
2. Follow established patterns exactly as documented
3. Maintain consistency with existing code
4. Validate changes against all quality standards
5. Provide examples from the actual codebase
6. Apply all rules and best practices consistently

## ⭐ Best Practices

Review and apply all best practices from the embedded instruction files below. Each category provides specific guidance for different aspects of development.

## 📏 Rules

### 👍 Always
- ALWAYS follow all patterns documented in instruction files
- ALWAYS maintain consistency with existing codebase
- ALWAYS validate against project standards
- ALWAYS use established naming conventions
- ALWAYS follow the file organization structure

### 👎 Never
- NEVER deviate from documented patterns
- NEVER introduce inconsistent conventions
- NEVER skip validation steps
- NEVER ignore project-specific rules
- NEVER assume conventions without checking

## 🔍 Relevant Context

### Project Instructions
All project conventions, patterns, and standards are embedded below. These instructions are the single source of truth for development practices in this codebase.

[IMPORTANT: Insert discovered instruction files here with embedded wikilinks]
<!-- Each instruction file should be on its own line -->
<!-- Format: ![[filename-wl-example]] (no path needed) -->
<!-- Example structure shown below - replace with actual discovered files -->

#### Patterns
![[file-organization-patterns-wl-example]]
![[naming-convention-patterns-wl-example]]

# Usage Notes

## Prerequisites
This prompt requires that project instructions have been created first using [[create-project-instructions]]. If instructions don't exist, that workflow must be completed before running this prompt.

## Instruction Organization
The agent references instructions organized by type:
- **patterns/** - Design and architecture patterns
- **conventions/** - Project conventions
- **best-practices/** - Best practice guidelines
- **rules/** - Critical rules and requirements
- **guidelines/** - General guidelines
- **standards/** - Quality and code standards

## Wikilink Format
All instruction files are embedded using the format:
```
![[name-type-wl-example]]
```
Example: `![[naming-convention-patterns-wl-example]]`
Note: Wikilinks use filename only, not the path

## Agent Invocation
Once created, the developer agent can be invoked for any development task to ensure consistency with project conventions.

## Maintenance
When new conventions are discovered or documented, update the agent by:
1. Adding new instruction files to appropriate folders
2. Including new wikilinks in the agent's Relevant Context section
3. Validating the updated agent
