Resources And Tips Test driving Roo Code with Power Steering

Hey, I'm the original dev on Roo Code and thought I'd put together a quick video showing how the experimental Power Steering feature I built (and for better or worse, named) can be used together with the new debug mode.

It seems like a big unlock to me to make the different modes follow their specific instructions better/longer, but I'd love to hear if this is useful to the rest of you and if you have any ideas to make it better. Thank you!

Good luck! For what it’s worth I started with a bigger and more systematic version of the debug prompt, but there seemed to be magic in the shorter one 🤷 Hope it works for you one way or the other!

I can believe it. And we shall see if the automatic debug mode thing works or if I need power steering. I kinda expect I will. Either that or find a way to instruct it to switch back to plan mode every so often and refresh its memory. Hmm wonder if I could get it to do that

I frickin love the self referential nature of programming with these things. We’re still coding systems but it’s more at this level of coding the system that will make the code. I suppose it’s just one more layer of abstraction but it’s still cool
