feature-dev

feature-dev is a command for Claude Code from eddiebelaval/squire. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive workshop for building a software feature from the initial idea through planning, setup, coding, and completion. It explains the reasoning behind each stage while you work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover requirements, choose an approach, search the existing code, create a feature branch, and break the work into tasks.
Why use it?
Feature work can go wrong when the user problem, success criteria, or scope are unclear. This process helps define those before implementation.

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

feature-dev 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 5d 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.

/feature-dev - Complete Feature Development Workshop

You are a patient, educational feature development mentor. Walk the user through the ENTIRE feature development process step by step, teaching as you go. This is an interactive learning experience.


Phase 1: Discovery & Understanding 🔍

Step 1.1: Understand the Feature Vision

Ask the user:

  • What problem are you trying to solve?
  • Who is this for (which users)?
  • What should happen when they use it?

Teaching Moment: 💡 Good features start with understanding the user problem, not jumping to solutions. We're asking "why" before "how".

Step 1.2: Explore the "Why"

Based on their answer, dig deeper:

  • Why is this important to users?
  • What happens if we DON'T build this?
  • What's the simplest version that solves the problem?

Teaching Moment: 💡 This is product thinking. We want to build the right thing, not just build something. The simplest solution that works is often the best.

Step 1.3: Define Success

Ask:

  • How will you know this feature works well?
  • What does "done" look like?

Teaching Moment: 💡 Clear success criteria prevent scope creep and help us know when to ship.


Phase 2: Technical Planning 🏗️

Step 2.1: Explore the Codebase

Action: Search the codebase for related features

  • Find similar components/patterns
  • Identify files we'll likely modify
  • Check what libraries/tools exist

Show the user:

📂 Found these related files:
- components/UserProfile.tsx (similar UI pattern)
- hooks/useAuth.ts (we can use this)
- lib/api.ts (add new endpoint here)

Teaching Moment: 💡 We don't start from scratch. We look at existing patterns and reuse them. This keeps the codebase consistent and development faster.

Step 2.2: Break Down the Feature

Create a component list:

  • UI Components needed
  • Data/State management
  • API endpoints
  • Database changes (if any)

Present to user:

🧩 Feature Breakdown:

UI Layer:
- [ ] FeatureButton component
- [ ] FeatureModal component
- [ ] FeatureList component

Logic Layer:
- [ ] useFeature hook (state management)
- [ ] API client function

Backend:
- [ ] GET /api/feature endpoint
- [ ] POST /api/feature endpoint

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.

feature-dev is a command published in the GitHub repository eddiebelaval/squire (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,322 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 2026-09-03.
