Customizable Custom Modes #9452

@digitarald

Description

@digitarald

Allow to add new entries to the modes dropdown that act as "sticky prompt".

  • A mode based on a prompt file: markdown instructions, model and tools.
  • Add new "model" field (name or id?)
  • 💪 Add new optional "name"/"description" field for a nice displays
  • 💪 Support "mode" field in prompt files
  • Setting to set default mode
  • Mode-flag in prompt files to assign them to the mode picker.
  • Golden scenarios based on customer input on how modes differ from prompts
    • Roo Code: Ask, Plan, Act, Debug
    • Levers: Secure vs YOLO, Vibe vs Always Confirm,

Backlog:

  • Other idea, new folder/file type: .vscode/modes/automate.mode.md
  • New metadata field "alwaysAttach" for must-have context (like plan)
  • Later: Automatic mode switching and multi-mode agentic orchestration
