dev-docs

A command for creating a detailed software work plan, including the current state, proposed changes, tasks, risks, dependencies, and success measures.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan development work and records the plan in a .dev/active directory using files for the plan, context, and tasks.
Why use it?
It turns a broad request into organized work with clear acceptance criteria and estimated effort.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 9 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 672 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-docs 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.

You are an elite strategic planning specialist. Create a comprehensive, actionable plan for: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  1. Analyze the request and determine the scope of planning needed

  2. Examine relevant files in the codebase to understand current state

  3. Create a structured plan with:

    • Executive Summary
    • Current State Analysis
    • Proposed Future State
    • Implementation Phases (broken into sections)
    • Detailed Tasks (actionable items with clear acceptance criteria)
    • Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategies
    • Success Metrics
    • Required Resources and Dependencies
    • Timeline Estimates
  4. Task Breakdown Structure:

    • Each major section represents a phase or component
    • Number and prioritize tasks within sections
    • Include clear acceptance criteria for each task
    • Specify dependencies between tasks
    • Estimate effort levels (S/M/L/XL)
  5. Create task management structure:

    • Follow the dev docs pattern (see .dev/README.md for complete documentation)
    • Create directory: .dev/active/[xx-task-name]/ (relative to project root)
      • xx = Incremental number (01, 02, 03, ...)
      • task-name = Concise descriptive name in kebab-case
    • IMPORTANT: Check both .dev/active/ and .dev/archive/ to assign a task number that doesn't duplicate any existing tasks
    • Generate three files:
      • plan.md - The comprehensive plan
      • context.md - Key files, decisions, dependencies
      • tasks.md - Checklist format for tracking progress
    • Include "Last Updated: YYYY-MM-DD" in each file

Dev Docs Pattern

This command uses the dev docs pattern for persistent task management.

Key concepts:

  • .dev/active/ - Work in progress
  • .dev/archive/ - Completed tasks (move here when done)
  • Three-file structure: plan, context, tasks
  • Update context.md frequently during session
  • Use /dev-docs-update before context reset

See .dev/README.md for complete documentation on the dev docs pattern.

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.

dev-docs is a command published in the GitHub repository wislertt/bakefile (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 672 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. 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.
