dev-mode

dev-mode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anatolykoptev/dozor. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development workflow that makes monitoring observe services without automatically fixing or restarting them. Individual services, or the whole system, can be excluded for a limited time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Pausing automatic fixes while developing or rebuilding a service, checking development-mode status, and identifying signs that repeated failures are caused by a rebuild.
Why use it?
It prevents automatic recovery actions from interrupting active development, rebuilds, or recently deployed services.

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-mode 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 6d 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.

Dev Mode

Prevent auto-fixing services under active development.

When to Activate

Automatic signals (suggest to user or self-activate)

Signal Confidence Action
Same service restarted 3+ times in 10 min High Exclude that service
Triage errors: "connection refused", "no such image", "build" High Suggest dev mode for that service
Deploy just completed (< 5 min ago) Medium Suggest excluding deployed services
Multiple services unhealthy simultaneously after being healthy Medium Suggest global dev mode
User says "I'm working on X" / "rebuilding X" Certain Exclude X immediately

Manual activation via MCP tool

server_dev_mode(enable: true)                             — global observe-only
server_dev_mode(exclude: ["my-service"], ttl: "2h")       — skip a service from triage
server_dev_mode(exclude: ["api-service", "worker"])       — skip multiple (default 4h TTL)
server_dev_mode(status: true)                             — check current state

Dev Mode Behaviors

Global dev mode ON

  • Watch still runs triage on schedule
  • Triage report includes DEV MODE ACTIVE banner
  • Watch prompt changes to: "observe only, do NOT take any corrective action"
  • Agent MUST NOT restart, deploy, or modify any services
  • Agent CAN still diagnose, inspect, and report

Per-service exclusions

  • Excluded services are removed from triage entirely
  • They still appear in server_inspect(mode: "health") (unfiltered)
  • Exclusions auto-expire after TTL (default 4h)
  • If all services excluded, triage says "All services dev-excluded"

Decision Flow

Triage detects problems
  │
  ├─ Is dev mode ON?
  │   └─ YES → Report only. Do NOT fix. Done.
  │
  ├─ Is the problematic service excluded?
  │   └─ YES → Skip it. Not in triage output.
  │
  ├─ Does the error look like active development?
  │   │  (connection refused, image missing, build error,
  │   │   repeated restarts in short window)
  │   └─ YES → Suggest excluding the service:
  │        "Service X appears to be under active development
  │         (3 restarts in 5 min). Exclude from triage?"
  │        If via watch (no user): auto-exclude for 1h,
  │        log the decision.
  │
  └─ Normal incident → follow incident-response skill

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.
