aicrew-dev

A full software-development workflow for Codex that moves through intake, research, design, test-driven development, testing, security, review, infrastructure, and conclusion. Test-driven development means writing tests to describe expected behavior before or alongside the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you ask for a full development pipeline such as /dev, including research, design, tests, security checks, audits, and infrastructure work.
Why use it?
It gives a single sequence for taking a coding task from an initial request through design, implementation checks, and review.

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

aicrew-dev 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

aicrew /dev (Codex)

Codex does not support slash commands. Use this skill when the user asks for "/dev" or a full SDLC pipeline.

Token foundation (mandatory)

/dev, /fix, and /quick all share the same 11-capability token-saving stack — only pipeline depth differs. Full reference: ~/Agents/docs/token-foundation.md. Stack: graph-first (codebase-memory-mcp), speculative Scout → verify (SCOUT schema, two-model routing), Karpathy guardrails, layered guardrails (guardrails-taxonomy.md), context-economy read policy, security-guard.py hooks, .ai/state checkpoints, /compact between phases, /handoff on tool switch, optional context-mode + token-optimizer-mcp, caveman default output. For /dev, Scout opens Phase 1 Research before any Glob/Grep/Read; re-scout between phases if context grew.

Default output

Caveman/lean style by default. See ~/Agents/agents/caveman.md and ~/Agents/agents/context-economy.md. /normal or /lean off restores verbose.

Source of truth:

  • ~/Agents/commands/dev.md
  • Project overrides in .ai/skills/ and repo AGENTS.md (if present)

Token foundation (mandatory — all phases):

  • Graph-first research: codebase-memory-mcp (search_graph → trace_path → get_code_snippet) before any Grep/Read
  • Speculative context: Scout pass (cheap model) at start of Phase 1; emit SCOUT: schema; verify before main trace
  • Layered guardrails: security-guard.py (input) → scope lock (Phase 0) → karpathy-guardrails (Phase 4) → security-reviewer (Phase 6)
  • Context economy: always on; /compact between phases; /lean amplifies
  • Two-model routing: Scout on haiku/mini; Research+Implement on sonnet/opus
  • See: ~/Agents/docs/token-foundation.md

Workflow summary:

  1. Intake: clarify bug/feature/refactor, acceptance criteria, scope, risks, test plan.
  2. Research: Scout pass (graph-first) → verify SCOUT schema → confirm root cause or key code paths.
  3. Brainstorm: 3 alternatives with trade-offs (features/refactors).
  4. Design: interface spec, contract checks, over/under-engineering flags.
  5. Implement: load karpathy-guardrails; TDD first (RED -> GREEN -> REFACTOR per acceptance criterion).
  6. Tests: targeted automated tests + smoke path.
  7. Security: changed files only, no false positives.
  8. Audit: if project defines domain audit checks.
  9. Conclude: summary, tests run, risks, commit message.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md 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.

aicrew-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository AKSoftCode/aicrew (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 655 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.
