Technical Analysis

Based on my investigation:

• The issue appears to be in the .roomodes file itself, where some custom mode definitions lack the description and whenToUse fields.
• Related code: The customModes array in .roomodes defines the structure and properties of custom modes.
• Possible cause: Incomplete or outdated entries in the .roomodes file.
• Proposed Fix: Add the missing description and whenToUse fields to all custom modes in the .roomodes file, ensuring they are consistent with the existing structure.

I am working on this issue. I have identified 5 custom modes in .roomodes that are missing the required description and whenToUse fields: design-engineer, release-engineer, translate, integration-tester, and pr-fixer. I will add these missing fields to ensure consistency across all custom modes.
