# Autonomous Code Agent Patterns
## Overview
The `code-agent-patterns` skill provides a standardized architectural framework for building, maintaining, and scaling autonomous Software Engineering (SWE) agents. It focuses on reliability, precision, and contextual awareness, drawing heavily from industry benchmarks like SWE-Bench and modern LLM-driven development tools.
## When To Use
- Implementing autonomous code editing agents.
- Designing specialized agents for bug localization or patch generation.
- Orchestrating multi-agent systems for code review or testing.
- Building tools that need to interface with existing large codebases.
## Core Patterns
### 1. Minimal Context Assembly
Avoid dumping the entire repository into the LLM context. Instead:
- Use dependency graph analysis to identify "impact zones."
