start-development

A command that starts Moira's development workflow. It checks the current branch against the main branch, detects uncommitted changes, and decides whether development can proceed or a rebase is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting development, fetching branch updates, comparing a feature branch with master, and deciding whether to proceed, rebase, or ask how to handle uncommitted changes.
Why use it?
It catches branch and workspace problems before coding begins, such as stale code or local changes that could be overwritten or complicate the work.

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

start-development 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Start Development Workflow

Decide whether an update is needed: - If we are ON master → skip this stage (no need to rebase onto itself) - If on a feature/dev branch → check freshness relative to master

Check the branch is up to date: 1. Run git fetch origin to get fresh data 2. Update the local master: git -C <path-to-master-worktree> fetch origin master:master 3. Compare the current branch with master 4. Check whether there are uncommitted changes

Based on the check, decide: - If the branch is fresh → proceed to stage-1 - If master has new changes → suggest the user run /rebase-master - If there are uncommitted changes → ask what to do (commit/stash/continue) Do not rebase if already on master

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.
