dev-assess

dev-assess is a command for Claude Code from eddiebelaval/squire. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,946 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review command that asks three senior developer agents to assess a feature, module, architecture, or specification from different engineering viewpoints. It combines their findings into an interactive HTML report showing where they agree or disagree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess code, design documents, architectures, tests, migrations, or other technical material. It helps identify risks, weaknesses, and areas needing further review.
Why use it?
It gives you several independent technical opinions instead of relying on one review. The report makes shared concerns and conflicting conclusions easier to investigate.

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

dev-assess 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 1mo 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.

/dev-assess — Senior Dev Triangulated Assessment

Spawn 3 senior developer subagents in parallel, each assessing the target from a different engineering perspective. Experts are dynamically selected based on the target material's technical domains. Triangulate their findings into an interactive HTML artifact with convergence/divergence analysis.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS: The target to assess (e.g., "shadow-engine", "auth-flow", "billing-system"). Can be a feature name, module, architecture, or spec document.

Instructions

Phase 1: Identify the Target

Determine what's being assessed. This could be:

  • A feature or module in a codebase (read the relevant files)
  • A spec document or set of documents (read them)
  • An architecture or design (explore the codebase)
  • A blueprint artifact (parse its embedded JSON)

IMPORTANT: Before spawning experts, YOU must read and understand the target thoroughly. Gather all relevant source material — code files, spec docs, config, tests, migrations. The experts need this context injected into their prompts.

Phase 2: Gather Context

  1. Read all relevant files for the target
  2. Identify the project and directory (e.g., ~/Development/id8/products/parallax)
  3. Build a context summary that includes:
    • What the target does / is supposed to do
    • Key files and their locations
    • Architecture decisions made
    • Dependencies and integrations
    • Any spec documents or design docs

Phase 3: Dynamic Expert Selection

Do NOT default to the same 3 experts every time. After gathering context, analyze the target material to select the 3 most relevant engineering expert perspectives.

Selection Process:

  1. Identify the top 3-5 technical domains the target material touches (e.g., API design, database schema, AI/ML pipeline, frontend UX, security/encryption, real-time systems, deployment/infra, performance, testing strategy, billing/payments, data compliance)
  2. From the expert pool below, select 3 experts that:
    • Maximize coverage of the identified domains
    • Each brings at least one unique analytical framework or methodology not shared by the others
    • Have meaningful pairwise overlap (triangulation requires shared ground to find convergence/divergence)
    • Together cover the full risk surface of the material
  3. For each selected expert, generate a custom profile:
    • Full role description and expertise
    • Frameworks and methodologies in their scope (specific to this assessment)
    • Focus areas tailored to this target
    • Overlap zones with the other 2 selected experts
    • 3-4 key questions they would ask about this specific material

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.

dev-assess is a command published in the GitHub repository eddiebelaval/squire (21 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,946 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 2026-08-30.
