av-swe

av-swe is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from avatsaev/av-swe-skill. It costs 166 tokens per session (1,589 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for managing a large software project as an ordered task plan with dependencies, verification, and tracked status. It uses a backlog-to-in-progress-to-done workflow and keeps PLAN.md as the main record.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning and executing large features, migrations, refactors, or other multi-step engineering projects one sprint at a time.
Why use it?
It keeps long-running work organized and auditable so tasks do not lose their order, dependencies, or completion evidence between sessions.

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

av-swe 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 8d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AV-SWE — plan-driven software engineering at scale

Turn a large software engineering effort into a small, ordered, dependency-aware, verifiable task plan, and execute it reliably. Built by generalizing the clean-room scope → plan → implement skills for ordinary development where the real source code is present (no clean-room blinders), plus explicit long-lived project-management operations for driving a big project over many sessions.

The whole system lives under a plan root (default <project-root>/swe/) and is driven by seven operations (block/unblock are two directions of one mechanism). Nothing here is a rigid process for its own sake — the point is that a big project stays plannable, trackable, and consistently deliverable without the plan rotting.

This file is deliberately a thin index. Each op's full procedure lives in its own file under ops/; shared conventions (layout, naming, state machine, config schema) live under conventions/. Read the linked file for the op you're about to run — do not rely on this page alone.

When to use

  • The user wants to plan a large project, feature set, migration, or refactor.
  • The user wants to break a large body of work into sprints and small atomic tasks.
  • The user wants to execute a planned chunk of work with confidence it actually builds and verifies.
  • The user asks "where are we", "what's next", "is the plan consistent", or wants to move tasks between states.

Operations at a glance

Op Effect Produces / mutates Full procedure
av-swe scope Capture requirements and current architecture into spec docs swe/specs/*.md ops/scope.md

av-swe implement Execute one sprint through the state machine, gated on build+test task moves + *-summary.md ops/implement.md
av-swe status Report plan health: open/in_progress/blocked/done, next sprint, gaps read-only report ops/status.md
av-swe validate Check plan integrity (ordering, deps, coverage, ids) read-only report ops/validate.md
av-swe block / unblock Move a task to/from the blocked state task file moves ops/block-unblock.md

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.
