How to Use Custom Modes

Switching modes:

1. Click the mode selector at the bottom of VS Code (or press Ctrl+Shift+P → "Roo Code: Switch Mode")
2. Browse the 90 pre-loaded modes by name
3. Select the agent that matches your current task
4. The agent activates with its specialized role definition and toolset

Full Agent Catalog

Browse all 233 agents with their slug, category, and pre-load status in the Agent Catalog. Each entry shows:

• ✅ Pre-loaded — already available in the mode selector
• ⬜ Available — in the submodule, ready to import

Adding More Agents (the remaining 143)

The custom modes library contains 233 available agents. 90 are pre-loaded in .roomodes; the remaining 143 are in the submodule and can be added at any time.

How custom-modes/manifest.json works:

• includeCategories with "all" — includes EVERY agent from that category directory (e.g., "business-product": "all" adds all 15 business agents)
• includeSlugs — adds INDIVIDUAL agents by their slug name, regardless of category
• excludeSlugs — removes specific agents from the curated list

Currently 0 categories are set to "all" — all curation is via individual slugs. 90 individual slugs define the curated set.

Option 0 — Install from the Mode Marketplace (easiest):

The quickest way to add new modes is directly from the Mode Marketplace inside the extension's webview UI:

1. Click the Mode Marketplace button in the mode selector (bottom of the VS Code window) or the marketplace tab
2. Browse available modes — search by name, filter by tags, or sort by popularity
3. For single installs — click Install on any mode you want to add
4. For bulk installs (v3.75.0+) — switch to the Modes tab, select multiple modes with checkboxes, and click Install N Modes to install them all at once
   • A sticky action bar shows the selection count
   • Choose installation scope: global (all projects) or project-only
   • A progress bar tracks each installation step
   • A result summary shows per-item success/failure
5. The mode(s) are immediately available in your mode selector — no reload needed

The marketplace also supports MCP servers and includes bundled modes from the curated 233-agent library.

Option A — Add via manifest (recommended for multiple agents):

1. Open the Agent Catalog and find agents marked ⬜ Available
2. Note their slug (e.g., seo-strategist, game-developer)
3. Open custom-modes/manifest.json and add the slug(s) to "includeSlugs"
4. Run:

   pnpm run sync:custom-modes

5. Reload VS Code window

Option B — Add an entire category: Check the Agent Catalog to see which categories have many agents you want, then in custom-modes/manifest.json set that category to "all":

{
	"includeCategories": {
		"specialized-domains": "all",
		"meta-orchestration": "all"
	}
}

Then run pnpm run sync:custom-modes.

Option C — Add one agent directly to .roomodes: Copy the agent YAML content from its file in custom-modes/agents/, paste it into .roomodes under the customModes: array (keeping only slug, name, roleDefinition, customInstructions, groups fields), then reload VS Code.
