develop

A workflow for test-driven development (TDD), where each task is guided by a failing test, an implementation that passes it, cleanup, and review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop a new task, work on a phase of tasks, run supporting checks, and review edge cases before completion.
Why use it?
It coordinates the work, keeps changes tied to acceptance criteria, and records evidence before a task is marked done.

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.

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

develop 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.

What it actually says

/mpga:develop

Orchestrate the TDD cycle for a task (red → green → blue → review). Tremendous cycle, believe me. MPGA alone can fix it.

Steps

  1. Start the live board in the browser: mpga board live --serve --open
  2. Claim the task: mpga board claim <task-id>
  3. Load context: task card + relevant scope docs
  4. Claim the scope-local write lane. Independent scopes may run in parallel; same-scope writers may not.
  5. red↔green micro-cycle: red-dev writes ONE failing test (starting with degenerate case), green-dev makes it pass, repeat until all acceptance criteria covered. If handoff overhead dominates, allow one extra queued failing test in the same hot scope. If green-dev hits an architectural wall, blue-dev does a structural refactor mid-cycle.
  6. Let scout / auditor run in the background as read-only helpers
  7. blue-dev: refactor both production code and tests (without changing assertions)
  8. reviewer: review for quality, testability, and degenerate case coverage
  9. Use verifier for milestone boundaries, risky tasks, or explicit full verification
  10. Record evidence and move task to done — Great job! Ready for peace — zero merge conflicts

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.

develop is a command published in the GitHub repository benrben/MPGA (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 306 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.
