software-dev-skills

software-dev-skills is a plugin for Claude Code from itallstartedwithaidea/agent-skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 8 skills it bundles cost 232 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of eight software development skills covering code review, test-driven development (writing tests before implementation), debugging, Git worktrees, idea exploration, agent collaboration, planning, and plan execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review changes, design and plan features, debug problems, write tests first, work on multiple Git branches safely, and coordinate smaller tasks between agents.
Why use it?
It gives an agent repeatable ways to handle common development work instead of relying on an improvised process.

Security

Grade A, and why

software-dev-skills 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 it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 8 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 232 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json#software-dev-skills in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
