Local Coder — Testing & QA agent for Claude Code
Use for local code generation: implementing a function against a spec or failing test, refactor snippets, boilerplate, test scaffolds, and small deterministic scripts.
How to install Local Coder
Installs to ~/.claude/agents/lari-uqac-researchtools-local-coder.md
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LARi-UQAC/ResearchTools/HEAD/.claude/agents/local-coder.md -o ~/.claude/agents/lari-uqac-researchtools-local-coder.md Restart Claude Code, or start a new session, for it to be picked up.
What Local Coder does
name: local-coder description: "Use for local code generation: implementing a function against a spec or failing test, refactor snippets, boilerplate, test scaffolds, and small deterministic scripts. Generates over the deterministic `ollama_bridge.py`, which resolves the model itself, so the code costs no cloud generation tokens. For orchestration and review only - never merges to a protected branch and never performs state-changing git on its own." tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash
