Language-Specific Usage
JavaScript/TypeScript
javascript
// Augment understands TypeScript context
interface User {
id: string;
email: string;
role: UserRole;
}
// Generate service with context
// Prompt: "Create UserService with CRUD operations"
// Augment generates type-safe implementation
Python
python
# Augment respects Python conventions
from typing import List, Optional
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class User:
id: str
email: str
# Prompt: "Add user validation methods"
# Augment generates Pythonic code with proper typing
React
jsx
// Augment understands React patterns
interface ButtonProps {
variant: 'primary' | 'secondary';
onClick: () => void;
}
// Prompt: "Create reusable Button component with variants"
// Augment generates complete component with TypeScript
Workflow Examples
Feature Development
bash
# 1. Start new feature
augment agent task "Implement user profile management feature"
# 2. Agent analyzes requirements
# 3. Agent creates implementation plan
# 4. Agent generates code across multiple files
# 5. Agent creates tests
# 6. Review and apply changes
augment agent review
augment agent apply
Code Refactoring
bash
# 1. Select code to refactor
# 2. Specify refactoring goal
augment refactor "Extract user validation into separate service"
# 3. Preview changes
augment apply --preview
# 4. Apply refactoring
augment apply
Bug Fixing
bash
# 1. Describe the bug
