developer-essentials

developer-essentials is a plugin for Claude Code from EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents. Its manifest loads nothing; the 11 skills it bundles cost 490 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of developer guidance for Git, SQL, debugging, code review, authentication, end-to-end testing, and monorepos. A monorepo is one repository that contains several related projects or packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Git workflows, SQL improvements, debugging, code reviews, browser-based end-to-end tests, authentication work, and monorepo management.
Why use it?
It brings common engineering practices together when a project has many moving parts and problems can span code, tests, databases, or repository structure.

Security

Grade A, and why

developer-essentials 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.

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.
