software-engineer

software-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from SebastienDegodez/skraft-plugin. It costs 64 tokens per session (4,852 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A software-development agent that starts with acceptance tests and builds a complete basic working path before adding detail. Acceptance tests describe what the finished software must do from a user's point of view.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement features through outside-in test-driven development, an approach where tests guide the code, while keeping the design organised into separate layers.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of spending time on isolated parts before the main user journey works end to end.

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

software-engineer 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 9d 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 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.
