GyroCode Use Cases

Real development workflows powered by GyroCode — from onboarding to refactoring to team collaboration.

Onboarding to a New Codebase

plan agent

Use the plan agent to understand any codebase quickly — without accidentally changing anything.

  1. 1.Open GyroCode desktop app and load your project directory
  2. 2.Select the Plan agent mode from the agent switcher
  3. 3.Ask: “Walk me through this codebase's architecture”
  4. 4.Get a detailed breakdown of the module structure and data flow
  5. 5.Request a summary you can share with teammates via session export

Feature Development

build agent

Describe what you want built and let the build agent handle implementation, including edge cases and tests.

  1. 1.Open your project in GyroCode and switch to Build agent mode
  2. 2.Describe the feature: “Add email verification to the signup flow”
  3. 3.GyroCode reads existing auth code and builds incrementally
  4. 4.Review each file change before it's written — or use auto-approve mode
  5. 5.Tests are generated alongside implementation automatically

Debugging Complex Issues

build agent

Paste an error or describe a bug. GyroCode traces through your code, identifies the root cause, and fixes it.

  1. 1.Share the error stack trace directly in the GyroCode prompt
  2. 2.Agent reads the relevant files and traces the execution path
  3. 3.Hypothesis is proposed with a rationale before any change
  4. 4.Fix is applied with a minimal diff and re-test confirmation
  5. 5.Root cause explanation is output for your records

Codebase Refactoring

build agent

Systematic refactoring across many files — renaming, extracting abstractions, updating patterns — done safely.

  1. 1.Use plan agent first: “Find all places where X pattern is used”
  2. 2.Switch to build agent with the plan in context
  3. 3.Refactoring is applied file by file with incremental commits
  4. 4.GyroCode checks for regressions by running tests after each change
  5. 5.Summary diff is presented before finalizing

Test Coverage Generation

build agent

Go from 40% to 90% test coverage in a single session. GyroCode understands your testing framework and writes real tests.

  1. 1.Ask: “Write comprehensive tests for the payment module”
  2. 2.Agent reads existing tests to match style and framework
  3. 3.Unit, integration, and edge case tests are generated
  4. 4.Mock setup and test fixtures are created automatically
  5. 5.Coverage report checked after each test file

Remote Team Development

client/server

Run GyroCode on a remote server and drive it from your desktop or connect teammates to shared sessions.

  1. 1.Deploy GyroCode server on your team's development infrastructure
  2. 2.Connect from the GyroCode desktop app on any machine
  3. 3.Full agent capability with server-side compute and storage
  4. 4.Multiple team members can join the same session for collaborative review
  5. 5.All actions are logged for audit and compliance
