Agent tools for AI coding agents

Workshop overview

Set up the Moderne agent tools and use Prethink, Trigrep, and the MCP server with your AI coding agent.

Install the Moderne CLI, install the Prethink recipe modules, and build LSTs for a working set of Java and Spring projects.

Install Moderne skills and the MCP server with mod config agent-tools install, scope to specific agents, and verify what your AI agent now exposes.

Run Prethink on a working set, apply the changes, and ask your agent to visualize the generated code quality metrics.

Build a trigram search index with mod postbuild search index, then explore literal, regex, and structural queries across your workspace.

Explore the Moderne MCP server and the semantic search, navigation, and refactoring tools it exposes to your AI coding agent.
