dev-helpers

dev-helpers is a plugin for Claude Code from refo/claude-dev-helpers. Its manifest loads nothing; the 13 commands, 1 hook it bundles cost 269 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of development-workflow helpers that works across programming stacks and reads project settings from .claude/helpers.json. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing tests as part of directing the implementation process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Helping with test-driven development, Git commits, product-requirements documents, issue triage, pre-commit setup, and questioning a software design before implementation.
Why use it?
It organizes recurring work around tests, commits, product requirements, issue handling, setup checks, and design review. Project-specific settings can adjust how the helpers work.

Security

Grade A, and why

dev-helpers 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 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.
