dev-flow

A workflow skill that coordinates a software feature or fix from investigation through design, approval, implementation, testing, and code review. It uses separate review and quality-check stages, with your approval required before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a complete development cycle for backend, frontend, or combined changes, including architecture review, QA verification, and fixing review findings.
Why use it?
It keeps the engineering process consistent and makes sure proposed work is reviewed and verified instead of stopping after code is written.

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

dev-flow 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dev-flow — deterministic SDLC orchestration

Drives a work item through the full loop this setup's rules/engineering-loop.md already describes by hand: investigate → design ⇄ architect-reviewer (converges or caps) → you approve the plan → implement → qa-engineer verifies → code-review ⇄ fix (converges or caps) → qa-engineer re-verifies. The design-gate and review-gate loops run as deterministic Workflow scripts (real loop-until-approved control flow, not the model remembering to keep looping); the one thing that stays a plain conversational step is your approval of the plan — nothing skips that gate.

1. Gather the request

Take the work request as given. Don't ask for more detail than you need to resolve the fields below — if it's already clear from the request, resolve it silently.

2. Resolve track and needsUX

  • track is exactly one of 'backend', 'frontend', 'both' — never anything else. Infer it from the request (a UI change → frontend; an API/data change → backend; anything touching both → both). Ask via AskUserQuestion only if the request genuinely doesn't say and the target repo doesn't make it obvious (e.g. a backend-only service repo settles it without asking).
  • needsUX is a separate boolean, not a track value — true only when the work needs a fresh UX pass (new flow, new screen, a UI change with no existing design to work from). A bugfix or an already-specced change is usually false. Infer from the request; ask only if it's a genuine toss-up.

3. Resolve investigate

true if the request's scope is still fuzzy enough that feature-investigator should scope it before any design work starts; false if it's already a clear, bounded requirement. This is a judgment call you make yourself — don't ask the user "should I investigate first," just decide from how well-specified the request is.

4. Resolve repo and secondaryRepo

  • repo defaults to the current working directory — no need to ask, matching every other skill in this setup (code-review, save-plan) that implicitly operates on "the repo you're in."
  • secondaryRepo stays unset unless track === 'both'. In that case, do a quick check of the cwd first — e.g. a go.mod or a server-flavored package.json with no sibling frontend package.json, or vice versa, suggests the other track lives elsewhere. Only if that check can't confirm both codebases live in repo, ask via AskUserQuestion where the other track's repo is. Don't ask when the cwd is obviously a full-stack monorepo.

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.

dev-flow is a skill published in the GitHub repository addit-digital/addit-harness (3 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 1,869 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
