A guided workflow for developing and documenting a system concept using NASA Phase A, an early stage focused on defining a problem, exploring designs, and checking feasibility.

Use it to explore an idea, define a problem, sketch how a system works, compare existing solutions, study feasibility, and produce a cited concept document.

It organizes brainstorming, research, architecture work, gap analysis, and document writing into one process with tracked sources and assumptions.

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ddunnock/claude-plugins

Made for: Claude Code.

Security

Grade A, and why

concept-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 1mo 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 installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill, 9 commands, 7 agents travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 542 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.

concept-dev is a plugin published in the GitHub repository ddunnock/claude-plugins (14 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. 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 2026-08-30.
