5 use cases

  • Fix a failing test or bug in a repo from the terminal

    Give AlphaCode a bug report and let it inspect the code, edit files, and run tests.

    View prompt
    Use the dragonked2/alphacode repo to fix the failing test in <project path>. Run the relevant tests after the change and report the changed files and test results. Verify that the failing test now passes and that no other tests were newly broken.

  • Test a web app flow in a live Firefox session

    Have AlphaCode walk through a login or form flow in Firefox and report reproducible problems.

    View prompt
    Use the dragonked2/alphacode repo with its Firefox browser automation to test the login flow at <application URL>. Report each step, capture a screenshot of any failure, and list only problems you could reproduce. Verify the report by repeating one failing step manually.

  • Drive a native desktop app with a written instruction

    Ask AlphaCode to open a native app, perform steps, and read a result through accessibility APIs.

    View prompt
    Use the dragonked2/alphacode repo's desktop automation to open <application name>, complete the steps: <steps>, and read the result. Report the value read from the screen. Verify the result by comparing it with a value you can calculate yourself.

  • Run parallel analysis of a codebase with swarm mode

    Split one review goal into separate analysis tasks and collect the combined results.

    View prompt
    Use the dragonked2/alphacode repo's swarm mode on <repository path> to review architecture, testing, and performance in parallel. Return one combined report with file references for each finding. Verify that at least three findings point to real lines in the repository.

  • Trace untrusted input in a system you are authorized to test

    Have AlphaCode trace input to sensitive operations and confirm which findings reproduce.

    View prompt
    Use the dragonked2/alphacode repo to trace untrusted input to sensitive operations in <authorized target path>. Report only findings that you reproduced in the authorized test environment, with the reproduction steps. Verify each reported issue by re-running its reproduction once.

How to use Alphacode

  1. Check you have what it needs: A terminal on macOS, Linux, or Windows (use Windows Terminal or PowerShell on Windows); A project folder or repository you want the agent to work in; Internet access to run the installer.
  2. Open dragonked2/alphacode on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragonked2/alphacode/main/scripts/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragonked2/alphacode/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell on Windows.
  4. Run alphacode doctor to check your environment.
  5. Change into your project folder and run alphacode run "fix the failing test", or replace the quoted text with your own request.
  6. Review the diff and the test results the agent reports before you commit anything.

These steps come from our top use case, Fix a failing test or bug in a repo from the terminal, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
