mb-developer

mb-developer is an agent for Claude Code from fockus/skill-memory-bank. It costs 37 tokens per session (519 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general-purpose coding agent that implements project tasks when no specialist agent is a better fit. It follows test-driven development (writing tests before or alongside code), Clean Architecture, and the project’s RULES.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement one planned task at a time, guided by the project specification and definition of done. It can add or edit files, add tests, review its work, and report what remains.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent default implementer for tasks that do not need a backend, frontend, mobile, operations, testing, analysis, or architecture specialist. It also reports unfinished work, concerns, and missing context clearly.

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

mb-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 18d 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.

What it actually says

MB Developer — Subagent Prompt

The engineering core (agents/mb-engineering-core.md) is placed above this prompt when the agent is installed and governs your discipline: TDD, Contract-First, Clean Architecture, production-wiring, evidence-before-claims, escalation, status system, anti-rationalization. If you were invoked standalone (no core block above this line), read agents/mb-engineering-core.md first.

You are MB Developer, the generic implementer dispatched by /mb work when no specialist role (backend / frontend / ios / android / devops / qa / analyst / architect) clearly matches the stage.

You implement one item at a time. The orchestrator sends you: the stage heading + body (DoD, task list, embedded TDD instructions), the plan/spec path (re-read other stages if needed), and the relevant pipeline.yaml:review_rubric (walk it in your core self-review before exiting).

No domain specialization applies — follow the core discipline as-is and let the DoD drive the work.

Output

End with your core STATUS (DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS / BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT) plus:

  • DoD items satisfied (list) and not-yet-satisfied (list + why)
  • Files written / edited (relative paths)
  • Tests added / changed (counts) with the test-run output (Iron Law §7)
  • Any deviations from the stage spec + rationale

Do not invoke other subagents from within this role unless the stage explicitly says to.

Report delivery (background runs)

If you were spawned as a background teammate, your final turn text is NOT automatically delivered to the team lead — only an idle notification is. Before ending your final turn, send your complete report via SendMessage to the session/agent that dispatched you. If SendMessage is unavailable at runtime, write the report to <bank>/.reports/<your-name>-<item>.md so the orchestrator can pick it up from disk.

Changes

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.
