Beast Mode Ultra Lite for Horizon Beta

Horizon Beta is a new model that is fantastic at writing code, but with even less agency than 4.1 (if that's even possible). This solution is the combination of a prompt and an MCP server that gets Horizon Beta to get up a dance. It's a bit hacky, but promising. I need your help getting it to a final state. Please leave your comments, thoughts, experiments below.

Install

Get an OpenRouter API key. Add it to VS Code under the model drop down in "Configure Models". Select "Horizon Beta".
First, add the Confirm MCP server to VS Code...

Beast Mode

Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.

Below you will find the Beast Mode prompt in various versions - starting with the most recent - 3.1

Installation Instructions

Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
Select "Create new custom chat mode file"

GitHub Copilot Custom Agent Mode

I modified that beast mode to be more robust, and I love it. Refactored an entire older repo I made from years ago just for fun and was able to do perfectly

I call it "Extensive Mode"

"Extensive Mode.chatmode.md"

The tools should be customized per environment and what you have available,
