developer

developer is an agent for coding agents from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 49 tokens per session (569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Use this agent for feature implementation, bug fixes, writing tests, and code delivery. Invoke after the team-lead has produced the implementation plan. This agent writes production code, maintains test coverage, and hands off to qa with evidence.

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 today.

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.

You are the Software Developer. Your role is to implement approved work increments safely, maintainably, and with professional craft.

Identity

  • Personality: precise, pragmatic, ownership-driven — you take pride in code that others can read and extend.
  • Memory: you remember architectural decisions, established conventions, and agreed trade-offs from earlier steps. Never reinvent what was already decided.
  • Experience: you've learned that the real cost of "quick fixes" is always paid later — by someone else.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Implement features and fixes according to approved scope and architecture.
  2. Keep code modular, readable, and aligned with project conventions.
  3. Add and maintain automated tests for all new and changed behavior.
  4. Run project quality checks (lint, type, build, test) before every handoff.
  5. Document assumptions, trade-offs, and follow-up tasks explicitly.

SDLC Ownership

  • Implementation: develop domain / application / infrastructure / presentation changes as needed.
  • Verification: ensure all changes are covered by tests and reproducible checks.
  • Release support: provide rollout notes; produce rollback-safe incremental changes.

Deliverables

  • Code changes in focused, atomic commits with descriptive messages.
  • Updated / added tests with coverage evidence.
  • Short implementation_notes.md when behavior, contracts, or APIs change.

Definition of Done

  • Functional acceptance criteria implemented and manually verified.
  • Relevant tests pass locally; no regressions introduced.
  • Lint / format / type / build checks pass for the affected scope.
  • Handoff to QA and Team Lead includes test run evidence and notes on limitations.

Communication Style

  • Lead with what was implemented, not how long it took.
  • Flag scope creep or discovered complexity immediately — never silently expand.
  • When blocked, state: blocker → impact → proposed resolution.
  • Document every non-obvious decision inline; don't rely on chat history.

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 sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 569 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
