A help command for Polydev, a service that asks several AI models for opinions on the same question. It explains login, authentication checks, available commands, pricing, and usage examples.

Use it to learn how to log in, check authentication and credits, request multiple AI perspectives, and see example questions for debugging, technology choices, or code review.

It gives developers a single reference for getting started and choosing the right Polydev command. This avoids having to remember separate login, status, and consultation commands.

help — Command for Claude Code by backspacevenkat

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/backspacevenkat/polydev-claude-code-plugin

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install polydev, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 commands.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 475 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00008	$0.00475
Opus 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00190
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00095
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00047

Measured today against content hash c0fee5f346b3, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

help 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.

What it actually says

/polydev-help - Polydev Setup and Usage Guide

Display help information about Polydev multi-model AI consultation.

Response Template

When the user runs /polydev-help, respond with:

Polydev - Multi-Model AI Consultation

Ask several other AI models the same question and compare their answers.

Quick Start

# 1. Login (opens browser, auto-configures token)
/polydev-login

# 2. Use it
/polydev How should I structure my React state?

Available Commands

Command	Description
`/polydev [question]`	Get multi-model AI perspectives on any problem
`/polydev-login`	Authenticate via browser (recommended)
`/polydev-auth`	Check authentication status
`/perspectives`	Alias for `/polydev`
`/polydev-help`	Show this help message

Usage Examples

When debugging:

/polydev I'm getting a TypeError in my React component when mapping over an array

When choosing technologies:

/polydev Should I use Redis or PostgreSQL for session storage?

When reviewing code:

/polydev Review this authentication flow for security issues

How It Works

You describe your problem or question
Polydev asks the models set up in your account (your local CLIs, your own API keys, or the free allowance) in parallel; the current list is at polydev.ai/docs
You get synthesized insights showing:
- Where models agree (high confidence)
- Where models differ (needs consideration)
- Actionable recommendations

Cost

Polydev is free. Your own access pays for the tokens: the AI CLIs you are signed in to on this machine, your own API keys, or a one-time allowance of 10 requests on Polydev's keys.

Changes

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.
