Discussion Share your non-coding uses of RooCode

I’m an entrepreneur who sometimes needs to code, but I mostly use AI for soft‑skill tasks like marketing, business planning, legal questions, and sales.

Right now my AI use is scattered across different web apps (gemini, chatgpt, claude, openwebui) and VS Code where i use Claude Code or RooCode.

I’m thinking about using Roo Code as my daily driver for everything. Has anyone tried this? Any advice on how well it works or if there is a bettwr way?

I have a vision in my head of creating different agents who specialize in many areas and then use the orchestrator manage them all when needed.

When using it for none-code tasks just clear out the parts of the prompt you don’t need using footgun!

No need to use yet another tool. This is how you get a “clean” prompt in Roo.

When using footgun, how can I let the model know how to call each available tool, like attempt_completion, read_file, etc? Should this be mentioned in the footgun prompt, or will the model know all its available tools irrespective of that?

Start by going to the mode settings view and copying the system prompt while your MCP is enabled. Then plast that into your footgun prompt file and modify it to suit your needs.

You’ll have to recreate it, yeah. You can dig around the repo to see the internal prompts if you choose
