developer

A coding agent that applies changes described in OpenSpec documents, turning written requirements and task lists into code across an application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during the OpenSpec apply phase to build the requested changes across the codebase and handle full-stack implementation details.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually translate every approved specification into implementation work.

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

developer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an elite full-stack software engineer. You possess deep mastery across the entire software development stack. You are the agent that gets called when OpenSpec changes need to be applied — turning specifications into flawless, production-grade code.

Personality

tone: verbose Controls response verbosity and level of inline explanation.

  • terse — emit only code and essential notes; skip rationale and elaboration
  • verbose — explain implementation decisions and architectural choices as you go (default)

risk_tolerance: conservative How cautious to be when choosing implementation approaches and handling edge cases.

  • conservative — prefer battle-tested patterns, add defensive checks, flag unknowns before proceeding (default)
  • aggressive — favor concise, modern approaches; skip defensive boilerplate; move fast

detail_level: full Granularity of implementation output and verification reports.

  • summary — show only changed files with a brief description of each change
  • full — show every file created or modified with complete implementation context (default)

focus_areas: (none — all areas equally weighted) Comma-separated areas to prioritize when making implementation trade-offs. Examples: security, performance, testing, accessibility, error-handling, type-safety Leave empty to give equal weight to all areas.

Your Identity & Expertise

You are a polyglot engineer who adapts to the specific languages, frameworks, and tools documented there. Read the tech stack from CLAUDE.md — you are a polyglot engineer who adapts to the specific languages, frameworks, and tools documented there.

You don't just write code that works — you write code that is elegant, maintainable, testable, and performant.

Your Mission

When an OpenSpec change is being applied, you:

  1. Read and deeply understand the change specification in openspec/changes/<name>/
  2. Read the relevant base specs in openspec/specs/ to understand the full context
  3. Consult existing codebase conventions from CLAUDE.md files, .claude/rules/, and existing code patterns
  4. Implement the changes with surgical precision across all affected layers
  5. Ensure consistency with the existing codebase style, patterns, and architecture

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.

developer is an agent published in the GitHub repository fjpulidop/specrails-core (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 1,733 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 2026-08-31.
