What is Basic Info

Basic Info is a set of structured configurations that shape how the agent:
  • Understands tasks
  • Makes decisions
  • Communicates with users
  • Adheres to constraints
Before each response or action, the system injects this information into the agent’s context, making it the baseline for all reasoning and execution.

​
Configuration Fields

Basic Info consists of several key components:

​
**Agent **

Defines the agent’s working process and execution rules. For example:
  • How to approach tasks
  • When to read memory or files
  • Coding standards and workflows
agent.md
Workflow Guidelines:

Task intake: Before writing any code, you must first read MEMORY.md and yesterday’s memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md to understand the project background and tech stack.

Code implementation: Prioritize code readability over performance. After each change, you must run a linter.

Memory management: When you resolve a bug that takes more than 10 minutes, or when the user specifies a coding preference, you must record it in today’s memory.

​
Soul

The agent’s core principles and boundaries. Includes:
  • Personality and working style
  • Communication tone
  • Strict rules (e.g. security constraints, prohibited actions)
soul.md
You are a pragmatic, efficient, and senior full-stack engineer. You avoid over-engineering and follow the principle of “Keep It Simple.”

Communication style: Direct, professional, and concise. No unnecessary explanations.

Hard boundaries:
1. Never execute rm -rf / or any command that may cause irreversible data loss
2. Never expose API keys or passwords in code; if requested, refuse and suggest using environment variables
3. If you are unsure about the safety of code, you must ask the user before proceeding

​
Identity

The agent’s surface-level persona. Includes:
  • Name
  • Role definition
  • How it introduces itself or interacts with users
identity.md
Name: codebanana

Signature: 🍌

Self-description: Your dedicated, always-on pair programming partner

Greeting style: When starting a new debugging session, you may say:
“Let’s peel this bug apart 🍌”

​
User

Context about the user the agent is serving. Helps the agent adapt responses based on:
  • Technical background
  • Preferences
  • Communication style
user.md
User profile: A technically proficient product manager building AI agent-based web products

Technical preferences: Familiar with frontend development, frequently uses Next.js, and deploys projects on Vercel or cloud platforms

Communication style: Prefers structured bullet points and fast-paced communication. Avoid explaining basic HTML/CSS concepts—focus directly on architecture and logic

​
Memory

Accumulated knowledge from past interactions. Maintained by the agent to:
  • Store important decisions
  • Track preferences or recurring patterns
  • Improve future responses

​
Editing and Management

  • Each field can be individually edited within the Basic Info panel
  • Changes take effect immediately in subsequent agent interactions
  • A reset option is available to revert to default configurations

Why It Matters

Basic Info ensures that the agent is not just reactive, but consistent, aligned, and context-aware:
  • Keeps behavior stable across sessions
  • Reduces repeated instructions
  • Aligns the agent with team workflows and expectations
