## How to work with Cloud Agents

We at Roo have been developing Roo Code mostly with Cloud Agents for several months and learned that the following practices lead to the best results:

-**When in doubt, start in the Cloud**: unless it's a very small change, it's usually easier to fire off several tasks to Cloud Agents (especially as you start or finish your day) and check in as they become ready. The Agents excellent at getting things 50-80% done, doing most of the heavy lifting. You can then iterate from there (be it with Cloud Agents or locally).

32
-**Embrace pull requests as the main unit of work**: to ensure Cloud Agents don't break things, they work on isolated branches and deliver work via PRs. They can be created, iterated upon, reviewed and fixed without you ever checking out code locally.
33
33
-**Let go of individual PRs**: be ready to throw stuff away once in a while, since LLMs aren't flawless. Quantity has a quality all of its own, so being generative pays off.
34
34
-**Invest in preview environments**: if your project allows for it (eg it's a web app), set up a preview environment (like [Vercel's Deployments](https://vercel.com/docs/git)) so you can check in on PRs without running them locally.

The Planner agent maps out implementation plans and navigates complex technical decisions. It's designed to take a high-level idea or a Product Requirement Document (PRD) and break it down into a thorough, step-by-step implementation plan which can the be given to coding agent (or a human!).

-
1.**Start:** Agents can be triggered manually via the Web UI, automatically via [GitHub Integrations](/roo-code-cloud/github-integration) (e.g., new PR opened), manually from Github (@-mentioning) and manually via [Slack Integrations](/roo-code-cloud/slack-integration) (e.g., `@Roomote` mention).
100
-
2.**Execution:** The agent spins up a secure, isolated cloud environment to perform its task. It clones your repository, analyzes the context, and executes the required actions.
101
-
3.**Completion:**: Once the task is done, the agent reports back with the results in the same place where you started.
102
-
4.**Handoff:** You can intervene at any time by going to the task.
103

5.**History:** all tasks are accessible in your Roo Code Cloud account.

Roo Code Cloud integrates directly with GitHub to bring your autonomous Cloud Agent team into your pull request workflow. By installing the Roo Code GitHub App, you can enable agents to automatically review code and fix issues without leaving GitHub.
1.**Install the GitHub App**: Go to [app.roocode.com/integrations](https://app.roocode.com/integrations) and click "Connect GitHub".
22
-
2.**Select Repositories**: Choose which repositories Roo Code agents should have access to. You can select all repositories or specific ones.
23
-
3.**Configure Permissions**: Grant the necessary permissions for reading code and posting comments/commits.

You'll be prompted to connect to Github when first creating your Cloud Agent team. If you haven't done that yet, [do it now](https://app.roocode.com/cloud-agents/setup) and make sure to create at least a PR Reviewer and PR Fixer agent.
23

This will take you through an OAuth process with Github, where you will:

<imgsrc="/img/integrations/gh-auth-2.png"alt="The second step"width="600" />

+
You can control individual agent access to repos [in agent settings](/roo-code-cloud/cloud-agents#settings).

Now your Cloud Agents are able to work with Github.

## Calling agents

By default, any PR Reviewer agents you have will continuously monitor for new PRs according to the criteria you define in [their settings](/roo-code-cloud/cloud-agents#settings).
