ralphy: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/dev-issues/SKILL.md

dev-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alecs5am/ralphy. It costs 269 tokens per session (1,545 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for turning an unstructured development brain-dump into separate, ordered Markdown work items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a developer has several actionable threads to sort into individual issues, while checking the project's note format, documentation rules, and existing backlog.
Why use it?
It prevents features, bugs, refactors, and ideas from being mixed together or lost in one long note.

This is alecs5am/ralphy's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ralphy itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ralphy configures →

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-issues 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dev-issues — brain-dump → distributed issues

A maintainer skill. It does not touch .ralphy/workspaces/<ws>/projects/ or call media models. It converts an unstructured stream of thoughts into a set of correctly-shaped notes/issues/*.md work items. Pairs with /dev-loop, which executes the issues this skill files.

When it fires

  • The user tags /dev-issues and then writes a lot — a wall of ideas, gripes, product direction, "and also we should…". The longer and less structured the input, the more this skill earns its keep.
  • ALSO FIRE when a normal dev conversation produces ≥3 distinct actionable threads the user wants preserved before they evaporate.
  • DO NOT FIRE for one scoped task (do it, or file a single note via dev-tasks), for content production, or for one-off idea/decision capture into the notes/ inbox (dev-tasks).

Workflow

  1. Read the inputs first. Read notes/README.md (the note shape + the Issues folder layout), docs/developing-ralphy.md (English-only rule, the lint suite), and skim the active backlog (the flat top level of notes/issues/) plus notes/ideas/ so you know what already exists. notes/issues/done/ and notes/issues/deprecated/ are the closed archive — skim them only during collision-check (step 3). dev-tasks is the sibling skill for notes/ inbox capture (ideas / decisions).

    Status-by-folder. notes/issues/ is split into the flat top level (the live backlog), done/ (resolved / promoted-and-landed), and deprecated/ (superseded / won't-do). New issues are always filed at the flat top level. Each issue keeps its > **Status:** line in sync with its folder.

  2. Decompose the brain-dump into discrete items. One issue = one coherent unit of work (one verb / file / feature / refactor / bug). Split compound thoughts; merge near-duplicates. Aim for issues a single sub-agent could execute end-to-end.

  3. Collision-check before filing each. Search all of notes/issues/ (active top level + done/ + deprecated/) and notes/ideas/ for an existing entity that already covers the thought. If one exists, update it (or note the overlap) rather than spawning a duplicate. If the match lives in done/, the thought is likely a regression or follow-up — git mv it back to the active top level and reset its > **Status:** line, or file a fresh issue that cross-links it. Never let the same thing live in two places.

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.
