dev-workflow-kit: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

dev-workflow-kit AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from dsnger/dev-workflow-kit. It costs 5,985 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for `dev-workflow-kit`, a Claude Code marketplace plugin that provides a specification-led workflow for building software with coding agents. Its deliverables are prompts, skills, commands, agent definitions, reminders, templates, and one shell hook rather than application code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing, reviewing, or extending the plugin’s workflow files, templates, documentation, or shell hook.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project’s architecture, invariants, review gates, hardening ledger, and required quality checks in one reference. This is important because ordinary application type-checking is not available for a prompt-focused project.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is dsnger/dev-workflow-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on dev-workflow-kit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dev-workflow-kit configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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-workflow-kit AGENTS.md 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 311 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — dev-workflow-kit

Single source of truth for invariants and conventions; the architecture lives in docs/ARCHITECTURE.md. Read directly by Codex at both review gates and by the PR review bots. Discipline rules live in @CLAUDE.md.

What this project is

A Claude Code marketplace shipping one plugin, dev-workflow, which installs a spec-driven workflow for building software with coding agents. It adds three mechanisms: two independent cross-model review gates (a different model reviews the design at Gate A and the diff at Gate B), a fingerprinted hardening ledger where a recurring finding is hardened with lint or a test, and one repo-enforced quality command. Users are developers running Claude Code.

The product is prompts. Skills, slash commands, agent definitions, hook reminder messages and every template /workflow-init scaffolds are the deliverable — plus one POSIX-shell hook. There is no application code, so there is no typechecker to catch a defect; review and docs/prompt-standards.md are the only gates a prompt passes through.

Architecture

docs/ARCHITECTURE.md holds the repository tree, the components, the scripts' inventory and the two design decisions. docs/PRD.md holds the product's problem, success measures, non-goals and feature map. docs/TECH-STACK.md holds the tools the repo runs on and where each version is pinned.

Boundaries (binding)

  1. skills/, commands/, agents/ and hooks/hooks.json are loaded by convention from their paths.
  2. scripts/ledger-metrics.{py,test.sh}, scripts/loop-usefulness.{py,test.sh}, scripts/spec-delta.{py,test.sh} and scripts/live-effort.{py,test.sh} (read-only)
  3. scripts/run-analytics.{py,test.sh} (writes only its own store under .context/telemetry/)
  4. scripts/status-view.{py,test.sh} (writes only its page, cache and lock under .context/status/)
  5. the hook ships in the plugin, the checkers and the reports do not
  6. The plugin depends on superpowers (skills it hands off to) and on a Codex MCP server exposing both exec and review (the gates key on those two tool names). Initialized projects that have third-party dependencies also depend on the Context7 MCP server, which /workflow-init writes pinned into their .mcp.json; the library-API rule in the gate rules needs it, and falls back to the library's own docs when it is unavailable.
  7. Nothing may depend on this repo's internal layout — an installed plugin lives under a version-keyed cache path, which is an implementation detail.

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.
