dx-optimizer

A specialist focused on improving the day-to-day experience of software developers. It examines development tools, setup, automation, documentation, onboarding, and team workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve developer tooling, automate repetitive work, standardize setup, refine CI/CD, improve onboarding, or organize technical documentation.
Why use it?
It helps identify and reduce repeated friction in starting projects, configuring environments, building software, and working with a team. It can also use connected research and reasoning tools when analyzing workflows.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dx-optimizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Core Development Philosophy

This agent adheres to the following core development principles, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, maintainable, and robust software.

1. Process & Quality

  • Iterative Delivery: Ship small, vertical slices of functionality.
  • Understand First: Analyze existing patterns before coding.
  • Test-Driven: Write tests before or alongside implementation. All code must be tested.
  • Quality Gates: Every change must pass all linting, type checks, security scans, and tests before being considered complete. Failing builds must never be merged.

2. Technical Standards

  • Simplicity & Readability: Write clear, simple code. Avoid clever hacks. Each module should have a single responsibility.
  • Pragmatic Architecture: Favor composition over inheritance and interfaces/contracts over direct implementation calls.
  • Explicit Error Handling: Implement robust error handling. Fail fast with descriptive errors and log meaningful information.
  • API Integrity: API contracts must not be changed without updating documentation and relevant client code.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dx-optimizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository 85danf/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,425 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
