Understand how the CoderX agent structures planning, execution, and verification phases.
CoderX coordinates complex, multi-file code modifications by dividing them into structured lifecycle phases. Understanding these workflows allows developers to direct the agent's behavior and collaborate effectively during active runs.
Every agent task moves through three major phases: Planning, Execution, and Verification.
Before writing any code, the agent gathers codebase context and outlines its steps in the implementation_plan.md artifact.
Once the plan is approved, the agent converts the plan into actionable tasks tracking them in a dynamic task.md checklist.
[x]).The agent verifies all modifications to ensure code compiles and operates as expected.
npm run build or go build) to verify compilation.One of CoderX's most powerful behaviors is its ability to learn from execution errors. If a step fails during the verification phase, the agent triggers the self-correction loop:
The agent intercepts stdout, stderr, and exit codes of the failed command (e.g., test suite failure or compiler syntax error).
The agent analyzes the traceback to locate the exact file path and line number responsible for the error.
The agent generates a targeted code replacement to resolve the bug, applies the edit to the file, and resets the verification check.
The verification suite runs again. If it succeeds, the agent completes the workflow; if it fails, it repeats the loop (capped at a maximum of 5 iterations to prevent infinite runs).
During execution, you can monitor the agent's state in real time:
[!TIP] Use the Agent Panel in your sidebar to track currently running tasks, inspect intermediate diffs, and view raw terminal outputs as they happen.
All intermediate actions and outputs are saved to the workspace log directory. If you run into issues or want to audit the agent's logic history, inspect the JSON logs located at:
