Specialized coding agents for theia developent.

[scharf]

Whenever I try to use AI to develop extensions for Theia, it often falls back to VSCode knowledge. I think it would be really helpful if there was an agent or a set of agents that understand the theia architecture and the patterns.

Ideally, this would be structured in a way that any AI agent could use it (thiea, claude code, Jetbrains Junie, github copilot...).

I envision a set of .md files with structured documentation and examples (or references to examples) that could be used by coding agents.

Thanks for raising this idea! It indeed would be a helpful thing to have.

I'd also recommend looking into Context7, which allows to expose a structured LLM-optimized documentation as an MCP server to any coding agent. Theia is already indexed there.

So maybe this helps as a starting point.
