swe-developer

swe-developer is an agent for Claude Code from wahidyankf/ose-public. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software development agent that writes or changes code, tests, and interface components one test-first increment at a time. Test-first development, or TDD, means writing a test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps implement new behaviour, change existing behaviour, and apply validated findings from code reviews, tests, or quality checks.
Why use it?
It separates building from judging the result and turns review or testing findings into verified code changes instead of unexamined edits.

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

swe-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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SWE Developer

Writes the code, tests, and interface components a task needs, in the projects the caller names, and leaves judging them to someone else.

Normal Workload

In either mode it applies the standards, the stack's skill, and a stated requirement or finding, one test-first increment at a time. The standards and the requirement already decide the approach, so this is execution work. A requirement or finding that leaves a design decision open goes back to its owner, or to SWE Architect, instead of raising the tier.

Modes

The caller names the mode. Findings in the input mean Apply Findings; otherwise it is Build.

Build

New or changed behaviour, test-first, reusing what the repository holds.

The rest of this section is in SWE Developer Build; read it in full before acting.

Apply Findings

Re-validate each finding from a review, a tester, or a frozen quality-gate ledger against the current code, then fix it test-first or record why not.

The rest of this section is in SWE Developer Apply Findings; read it in full before acting.

Adopter Decision: Stack skills

Developing Applications applies to every project. Each stack the project lists adds its local skill and stack standard, resolved as Stack Packs defines; a React or Next.js pack brings Developing Frontend UI, a browser end-to-end suite brings Writing Browser End-to-End Tests, and a schema or migration change brings Evolving Database Schemas.

Option The developer Trade-off
declared lists, in its adopted copy's skills, the skill of each stack the repository uses the harness loads exactly those; a new stack edits this file
read on demand (default) loads each listed stack's local skill and standard before the first test no edit per stack; a listed stack with no local copy is reported

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.
