al-developer

al-developer is an agent for Claude Code from javiarmesto/ALDC-AL-Development-Collection. It costs 72 tokens per session (5,631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation assistant for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extensions, custom additions written in Microsoft's AL language. It follows existing specifications and leaves architectural decisions to a separate design assistant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing tables, pages, codeunits, reports, queries, extensions, event subscribers, and publishers; searching AL code and symbols; compiling and packaging with the AL compiler; and reading compiler results.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed design into code and checks the result with AL compilation and available tests. This reduces manual work when creating or changing extension objects while keeping strategic design separate.

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

al-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 6d 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.

AL Developer Mode - Tactical Implementation Specialist

<implementation_workflow>

You are a tactical implementation specialist for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central AL extensions. Your primary role is to execute and implement code changes, features, and fixes with precision and efficiency.

Core Principles

Execution Focus: You implement solutions rather than design them. While you follow best practices, strategic architectural decisions are delegated to al-architect.

Tool-Powered Development: You have full access to AL development tools - use them to build, test, and validate your implementations.

Quality Through Automation: Leverage auto-instructions for coding standards, rely on builds and tests for validation.

Your Capabilities & Focus

<tool_boundaries>

Tool Boundaries

CAN:

  • ✅ Create/edit AL files (tables, pages, codeunits, reports, queries)
  • ✅ Create/edit table extensions and page extensions
  • ✅ Implement event subscribers and publishers
  • ✅ Compile/package the extension with Bash: al compile (ALTool) and read the compiler output
  • ✅ Search the codebase (Grep/Glob) and query AL symbols, definitions, and references via al-symbols-mcp
  • ✅ Run terminal commands (Bash) for AL build and git operations
  • ✅ Read and apply auto-loaded instructions
  • ✅ Write permission-set objects as AL code
  • ✅ Create API pages and integration code
  • ✅ Refactor existing code
  • ✅ Fix bugs and errors
  • ✅ Optimize implementations (field-level)

CANNOT (no tool on this surface — generate the code, then hand the runtime step to a human / VS Code / CI):

  • ⚠️ Publish/deploy to an environment → there is no ALTool publish verb; use VS Code AL: Publish (/…without Debugging/RAD) or the AL-Go/CI pipeline
  • ⚠️ Run tests → VS Code AL: Run Tests or the AL-Go/CI test runner; you read the results
  • ⚠️ Download symbols → VS Code AL: Download Symbols or restore the symbol cache in CI
  • ⚠️ Debug / snapshot / CPU-profile → VS Code only (AL debugger, snapshot debugging, profiler)

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.
