pace-theory

A guide to the ideas and working methods behind Devpace, including its development model, project objects, value chain, decisions, metrics, and change process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn concepts such as BizDevOps, CRs, BRs, PFs, value chains, decision records, and measurement practices.
Why use it?
It helps users understand what Devpace terms and workflows mean instead of only following commands without context.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 126 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 954 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

pace-theory 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 2d 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.

流程

Step 1:加载知识库

按执行路由表选择性读取 Plugin 的 knowledge/theory.md 对应章节。

Step 2:按参数输出

加载路由表中对应的 procedure 文件获取输出规则,按子命令类型执行输出。

Step 3:关联当前项目

如果 .devpace/ 存在:读取 project.md,按路由表"补充数据源"列选择性读取,应用角色适配框架并用项目实际数据做实例教学。如果未初始化:仅输出理论,末尾引导 /pace-init

输出

按请求粒度展示的设计理论知识,辅以 devpace 中的具体映射。自然语言为主,渐进暴露细节。

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

pace-theory is a skill published in the GitHub repository arch-team/devpace (73 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 954 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 2026-08-30.
