flow-development-workflow

A set of working guidelines for developing Flow projects, including debugging, incremental changes, deployment checks, gas-cost reviews, and testnet testing. Flow is a blockchain platform, and gas is the fee paid for blockchain transactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide documentation-first debugging, iterative development, deployment verification, gas optimization, and testnet validation.
Why use it?
It gives developers a repeatable way to investigate errors and verify changes before releasing them, including checks that can prevent avoidable transaction costs.

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.

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

flow-development-workflow 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.

flow-development-workflow is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository onflow/cadence-rules (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,322 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
