ccc-feature-start

ccc-feature-start is a command for Claude Code from KevinZai/commander. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,043 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured workflow for starting a feature with project research, a Git branch, a task plan, and test-first development. TDD means writing a failing test before implementing the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect related code and lessons, create a feature branch, verify the baseline, break down tasks, and begin TDD.
Why use it?
It turns a loosely defined feature request into checked prerequisites, explicit tasks, and a verifiable implementation path.

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

ccc-feature-start 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 7d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ccc-feature-start — structured feature kickoff

CC Commander · /ccc-feature-start · a feature branch, a passing baseline, tasks/todo.md, and a first failing test.

Feature: $ARGUMENTS. If empty, ask for a one-line feature name in plain text. Derive <slug> as lowercase kebab-case of the name.

What happens

1. Research and context

  1. Search the codebase for related code with rg -n "<key terms>"; list matching files.
  2. If gh is available and authenticated, run gh pr list --search "<key terms>" --state all --limit 10 and gh issue list --search "<key terms>" --limit 10.
  3. If tasks/lessons.md exists, read it and note lessons that apply.
  4. Identify the files, modules and APIs this feature touches and where it belongs in the architecture.

2. Branch and setup

  1. Run git status --porcelain. If the tree is dirty, show the changes and stop until the user decides how to handle them; never stash or discard them yourself.
  2. Find the base branch: git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD (falls back to main). Run git fetch origin <base>.
  3. Ask with AskUserQuestion (plain-text question where unavailable):
    • 🟢 New worktree — git worktree add ../<repo>-<slug> -b feature/<slug> origin/<base>; the current checkout stays untouched.
    • Branch in this checkout — git checkout -b feature/<slug> origin/<base>.
  4. Verify: git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD prints feature/<slug> (run inside the worktree when one was created).
  5. Run the baseline tests with the project's command: the test script in package.json (npm test), pytest, go test ./..., or cargo test. Record PASS or FAIL. On FAIL, report the failing tests and ask whether to continue; a red baseline makes later results ambiguous.

3. Task breakdown

Write tasks/todo.md (append a new section if the file exists):

# Feature: <feature name>

## Tasks
- [ ] Write spec (requirements, acceptance criteria, edge cases)
- [ ] Design API/interface (if applicable)
- [ ] Write failing tests (TDD red phase)
- [ ] Implement core logic (TDD green phase)
- [ ] Refactor and clean up
- [ ] Integration tests
- [ ] Documentation updates
- [ ] Code review preparation
- [ ] Final verification

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.
