Understanding AI Agents in CCJK
Discover how AI agents work in CCJK and learn to leverage them for automated development workflows.

Understanding AI Agents in CCJK
AI Agents are one of the most powerful features in CCJK. They are specialized assistants designed to handle specific types of tasks with expertise and efficiency.
What Are AI Agents?
Think of AI agents as expert colleagues who specialize in different areas:
- Code Review Agent - Reviews your code for bugs, security issues, and best practices
- Documentation Agent - Generates and maintains documentation
- Testing Agent - Creates comprehensive test suites
- Refactoring Agent - Suggests and implements code improvements
- Security Agent - Identifies vulnerabilities and suggests fixes
How Agents Work
Agents use a combination of:
- Specialized Prompts - Carefully crafted instructions for specific tasks
- Context Awareness - Understanding of your project structure
- Tool Integration - Access to relevant development tools
- Memory - Ability to remember previous interactions
Using Agents
Basic Usage
Invoke an agent using the @ prefix:
> @code-review Review the authentication module
Agent Options
Many agents accept options:
> @test-generator --coverage=90 --framework=jest
Chaining Agents
Combine agents for complex workflows:
> @refactor Then @test-generator Then @documentation
