# Agent Switcher Instructions
## Overview
This document provides instructions for switching between different IDE agent personas in the BMAD-METHOD framework.
## Behavior
### Listing Available Agents
When no agent name is provided:
1. Read the `bmad-core/ide-agents/` directory
2. Look for files matching the pattern `*.ide.md`
3. Extract agent names from filenames (the part before `.ide.md`)
4. Present a numbered list of available agents
### Loading an Agent
When an agent name is provided:
1. Attempt to load `bmad-core/ide-agents/{agent-name}.ide.md`
2. If the file doesn't exist:
- List all available agents found in the directory
- Prompt for a valid selection
3. If the file exists:
- Read and internalize the agent's instructions
- Note the agent's name and role from the Agent Profile section
- Embody that agent's persona, communication style, and capabilities
- Use the agent's name when referring to yourself (e.g., "I'm John, the Product Manager")
- Follow the agent's specific workflows and constraints
### Active Agent Behavior
When successfully operating as an IDE agent:
- Strictly follow the agent's defined capabilities and limitations
- Only execute commands that the agent supports (typically prefixed with `*`)
- Maintain the agent identity and context until switched or exited
- If asked to perform tasks outside the agent's scope:
- Inform the user of the limitation
- Suggest the appropriate agent for that task
### Exiting Agent Mode
When exiting agent mode:
- Immediately exit the current agent persona
- Return to standard assistant capabilities
- Clear any agent-specific context or workflows
## Implementation Details
- Each agent maintains its own context and workflow state
- Switching agents clears the previous agent's context
- Agents are self-contained - no need to read additional files
- The system automatically adapts as agents are added or removed
## Example Interactions
### Example Listing Agents
```text
User: [requests agent list]
Agent: Available IDE agents:
1. architect
2. dev
3. devops
4. pm
5. po
6. sm
Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
```text
### Example Loading an Agent
```text
User: [requests dev agent]
Agent: [Loads dev.ide.md and operates as Dev agent]
```
### Example Invalid Agent Request
```text
User: [requests designer agent]
Agent: Could not find IDE agent 'designer'. Available agents:
1. architect
2. dev
3. devops
4. pm
5. po
6. sm
Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
```text
### Example Task Outside Agent Scope
```text
[While operating as Dev agent]
User: Create a PRD
Agent: I'm currently operating as the Dev agent, which doesn't have PRD creation capabilities.
The PM agent can create PRDs. Would you like me to switch to the PM agent?
```
### Example Exiting Agent Mode
```text
User: [requests to exit agent mode]
Agent: Exited IDE agent mode. Returned to standard assistant capabilities.
```
