This is my very first blog ever here, so now I’m super excited to see how people react n here’s my shot of how i’d explain what’s Agent Mode to someone new !
If you want to become a serious developer who works smarter than the rest of the crowd, Agent Mode is one tool you need in your bag! Think of it like a genie from the Genie, Make a Wish series (a Netflix drama) that can create a magical Genie API land world for you with just three simple wishes:
Wish one: Create a new CRUD-based API collection for an <>, and include end-to-end documentation for all the endpoints in this collection.
Wish two: “Create a new mock server for this collection and add user flow in flows to validate all the endpoints.”
Wish three: Create a monitor for this collection with these XYZ settings.
( For now please ignore the unhealthy status, I’m agenting a fix for this, tbh in Agent Mode )
And there your go ! you’ve already got the gist! But it doesn’t end here. Play around for more !
Plus, I read this post by Danny and felt it was the perfect spot to test this out, so I added a few more learning shots to this game:
Prompt 4: “Use zod as a validation script to validate the structure of our endpoints.”
As a developer myself, I believe we should appreciate every piece of technology that makes our lives easier, becoz behind the scenes, engineers pour their heart, soul, and endless effort into making our world extraordinary picture perfect . So far, it’s a great product!
If you genuinely want feedback on blind spots, here are two things at the top of my list:
- In Agent Mode, I’d love to see which file it’s actually editing. On average, my enterprise has 2K endpoints exposed for a single application, so before approving, I should know where the edits will go.
-
I’d also love to see some kind of notification when the analysis is done to let me know there’s an update. Right now, I keep toggling back and forth to check out of curiosity.
I’m new to this community, so if this project is open source, I’d love to add commits myself for the above pointers! I think that’d be even more fun!
Best Regards,
A soft core frontend developer !
