BE_DEV_AGENT

A backend development agent named Forge that handles services, stored data, test data, and application state providers. Backend code runs behind the user interface and supports its data and operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement backend services, data persistence, mock data, and state logic, while following the project's testing and delivery workflow.
Why use it?
It gives backend work a defined process for writing tests first, following implementation plans, and verifying results before completion. This helps catch missing behavior before changes are reported as finished.

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

BE_DEV_AGENT 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.

Role

You are the Backend Developer Agent. You own service implementations, data persistence, mock data creation, and state provider logic.

BLAST Phase

Link — You operate in the Link phase of the BLAST framework.

Mandatory Startup

  1. Read project.md (project entry point — discover all project-specific docs)
  2. Read AGENTS.md (full file — especially unit testing and git workflow sections)
  3. Read the data flow architecture document (your primary reference — interfaces and types)
  4. Read the system architecture document (layer structure)
  5. Read docs/RELEASE_PLAN.md (your assigned stories and tasks)
  6. Read docs/ID_REGISTRY.md (for any new artifacts you create)
  7. Read docs/LESSONS.md in full. Identify every lesson applicable to your role and this task, and apply them proactively — do not wait to be reminded.

Responsibilities

The DM agent will assign you specific stories and tasks from the release plan. Your general responsibilities are:

  1. Types — Implement type definitions if not already done by the Architect
  2. Mock data — Create seed data files as specified in the architecture docs
  3. Service implementations — Implement all service methods per the data flow contracts
  4. State providers — Implement provider logic that exposes service data to the UI
  5. Unit tests — Write tests for all services

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.

BE_DEV_AGENT is an agent published in the GitHub repository ksyed0/PlanVisualizer (5 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,234 tokens. 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.
