Trae Solo
Trae is an AI-integrated development environment (IDE) for developers launched by ByteDance. Based on VS Code, it provides intelligent Q&A, code auto-completion, and Agent-based AI automated programming capabilities.
Simply put, it is an AI tool for writing code and doing development, supporting multiple programming languages and development scenarios.
By default, the download button will automatically match our computer system. We can also find the Trae installation package suitable for our computer's operating system to download.

SOLO mode is one of Trae's core features, where AI leads the entire development process.
In SOLO mode, we only need to clearly state our requirements in natural language (for example: write a function to get low-priced products), and the AI will automatically break down the task, generate code, and even help you check the changes, eliminating the need for manual complex operations.

## SOLO Mode
SOLO mode is AI-centric, automatically planning and executing the entire development process from requirement understanding, code generation, testing to result preview.
In SOLO mode, we only need to submit requirements through flexible methods such as natural language description, voice communication, or uploading local files. The AI will quickly and autonomously break down tasks and efficiently advance execution, making the development process extremely simplified and fully intelligent.

## Introduction to SOLO Coder
SOLO Coder is an agent designed for complex project development, helping you efficiently complete the entire development process from requirement iteration to architecture refactoring.
SOLO Coder possesses intelligent task planning and precise execution capabilities. Once the plan is confirmed, it will automatically advance the development progress. You can also independently orchestrate multiple agents to form an exclusive AI team, achieving multi-role collaboration and accelerating project delivery.
**Note:** SOLO Coder enables Auto mode by default and it cannot be modified. This mode comprehensively balances Q&A speed, performance, and resource consumption, intelligently matching the appropriate model to bring a smoother AI interaction experience.
### Enabling SOLO Coder
After entering SOLO mode, click the @ symbol in the lower left corner of the AI dialogue input box, and select SOLO Coder in the agent menu.

### Editing SOLO Coder
You can configure callable custom agents, MCP Servers, and built-in tools for SOLO Coder.
Hover the mouse over the configuration icon on the right side of SOLO Coder, click the "Edit Tools" button in the panel to enter the SOLO Coder configuration panel, and complete the corresponding configuration.

### Calling Custom Agents
SOLO Coder supports calling custom agents to complete modular task processing.
It has a built-in Search agent by default, which can retrieve and view files, assisting in precisely dispatching other agents to collaboratively complete tasks.
After configuring available agents for SOLO Coder, it can act as the master agent. When handling long-context, high-complexity tasks, it will automatically split and isolate tasks, calling the corresponding agents on demand, so that each agent focuses on execution within an independent context, improving overall execution efficiency and result quality.
You can also directly specify the target agent in the prompt, and SOLO Coder will combine the context to complete the call at the appropriate time.

### Plan Mode
Plan mode is suitable for complex long tasks. The switch is located in the upper right corner of the dialogue box, and can also be quickly enabled via keyboard shortcuts: `Option + P` for macOS, and `Alt + P` for Windows.
!(#)
Once enabled, SOLO Coder will first analyze and plan the task upon receiving the requirement, and execute it step by step after your confirmation.

If the generated plan does not meet expectations, you can modify it in two ways:
* Directly manually edit the plan content, and click the "Execute" button after completion;
* Send a modification instruction to SOLO Coder, and it will automatically adjust the plan content.

## Enabling SOLO Builder
SOLO Builder is one of the two core agents built into TRAE's SOLO mode, focusing on quickly landing complete Web applications from 0 to 1. Without developers needing to manually write large amounts of code, it can efficiently realize the construction of creative prototypes or brand-new projects, adapting to scenarios such as prototype validation and rapid implementation of ideas.
### Enabling SOLO Builder
After entering SOLO mode, click the @ symbol in the lower left corner of the AI dialogue input box, and select SOLO Builder in the agent menu.
