Use it to carry out multi-step coding plans one task at a time with reviews between tasks.
Why use it?
It keeps unrelated tasks from sharing confusing context and adds checkpoints for catching mistakes early.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

subagent-driven-development 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 9d 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.

Subagent-Driven Development

Core Principle

Fresh context per task. Review between tasks.

Each task gets a clean subagent with no accumulated confusion. You review between tasks.

How It Works

  1. Load the implementation plan
  2. For each task:
    • Dispatch fresh subagent
    • Subagent implements ONLY that task
    • Review the changes
    • Approve or request fixes
    • Move to next task

Benefits

  • Clean Context: Each subagent starts fresh
  • Focused Work: One task at a time
  • Review Points: Catch issues early
  • Controlled Progress: You stay in charge

Execution Flow

Step 1: Load the Plan

Loading plan from: docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-feature-name.md

Tasks identified:
1. [ ] Task 1: Description
2. [ ] Task 2: Description
3. [ ] Task 3: Description

Starting with Task 1...

Step 2: Dispatch Subagent

For each task, create a focused prompt:

## Task: [Task Name]

### Context
- Project: [brief description]
- Current branch: [branch name]
- Dependencies: [relevant info]

### Instructions
[Exact instructions from plan]

### Files to Modify
- `path/to/file.ts`

### Test to Write First
[Test code from plan]

### Implementation
[Implementation code from plan]

### Success Criteria
- [ ] Test passes
- [ ] No other tests broken
- [ ] Code follows project style

Step 3: Review Changes

After subagent completes:

## Task 1 Complete

### Changes Made:
- Modified: `path/to/file.ts` (+25/-3)
- Added: `path/to/file.test.ts` (+40)

### Test Results:
✅ All tests passing (47 total)

### Review Checklist:
- [ ] Test covers the requirement
- [ ] Implementation is correct
- [ ] No unnecessary changes
- [ ] Code style matches project

**Approve and continue to Task 2?**

Step 4: Handle Issues

If review finds problems:

## Issues Found in Task 1

1. Test doesn't cover edge case X
2. Missing error handling for Y

**Options:**
A) Request fixes from subagent
B) Fix manually
C) Skip and note for later

What ships with it

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.
