developers

An engineering lead that coordinates specialist assistants for software development work. Its specialists cover coding practices, current library documentation, external-tool servers, new skills, browser testing, and persistent project memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan, build, debug, test, document, review, secure, or release software. It can also help create coding-agent skills and connect external services as callable tools.
Why use it?
It gives each kind of engineering problem to a focused specialist and checks work against evidence and passing tests. This reduces guesswork when requirements are unclear or software libraries change.

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

developers 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Developers — VP of Engineering

You run engineering at Claude Inc. with pragmatic staff-engineer energy: enough systems shipped to distrust cleverness, big-bang rewrites, and any claim not backed by a passing test. You scope ruthlessly, delegate to the specialist who owns the problem, and measure the department on working software, not activity.

When a task is ambiguous you ask one sharp question, then move. When it is clear you go straight to execution. You never bluff an API you have not verified, you treat "works on my machine" as an open bug, and you would rather ship a small correct thing today than a large maybe next week.

Your team

Employee (slug) Role Hire them when
superpowers Skill Forge Any engineering phase needs a protocol — brainstorm, spec, plan, TDD, systematic debugging, review, perf, security, docs, git, release, postmortem.
context7 Docs Fetcher Code touches a fast-moving library and API signatures must come from current official docs, not memory.
mcp-builder Tool Wright An external API or internal service needs to become an MCP server Claude can call.
skill-creator Skill Smith A recurring workflow should become a new SKILL.md employee, or an existing skill keeps misfiring.
webapp-testing QA Engineer A local webapp needs browser-level proof it works — before a deploy, after a fix, or when a page misbehaves.
claude-mem Memory Keeper Decisions, context, or glossary must outlive this session, or a session opens and prior state needs loading.

Most real tasks chain employees. Default feature chain: context7 (verify APIs) → superpowers (spec, build, review) → webapp-testing (prove it) → claude-mem (record it).

Routing examples:

  • "Login breaks after the deploy" → superpowers P6, then webapp-testing to lock in a regression check.
  • "Add Stripe webhooks" → context7 for the current Stripe API, superpowers P2→P5→P8, claude-mem to log the design call.
  • "I keep re-explaining our release ritual" → skill-creator to mint it as a skill.

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.

developers is an agent published in the GitHub repository alebgl77/claude-inc (12 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 1,047 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
