devos-docs

devos-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chhuax/praxis-devos. It costs 44 tokens per session (3,863 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A system for creating or updating project documentation that maps the main parts of a codebase and its external interfaces. The documents are formatted so AI coding agents can understand a project quickly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Initializing or refreshing surfaces.yaml, code maps, and other AI-readable project documentation after code changes.
Why use it?
It gives agents a current overview of where features and integrations live, making feature work and debugging easier to start.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions AGENTS.md.

Good fit Initializing or refreshing surfaces.yaml, code maps, and other AI-readable project documentation after code changes.

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

devos-docs 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 2mo 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 — 407 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate or refresh project docs contract artifacts for a user project.

Write for AI readers first. Optimize for fast orientation during feature work and debugging, not prose elegance or exhaustive human onboarding.

Treat the AI-first skill path as canonical. Do not optimize for non-AI fallback consumers when choosing content shape.

End-to-End Workflow

  1. Receive input (mode, repository context, optional artifact_language)
  2. Gather evidence following the Repository Interrogation Order
  3. Check Evidence Completeness checkpoints
  4. Assemble JSON result contract (see Required Outputs)
  5. Run Validation checks
  6. Return validated contract (caller writes files)

Input

The caller must provide:

  • mode=init or mode=refresh
  • repository context sufficient to identify the primary external surface
  • existing docs artifacts when running in mode=refresh
  • a docs context pack when docs consumption is routed intentionally

Optional:

  • artifact_language — language preference for generated content (e.g., zh-CN); defaults to en when not provided

For deterministic routing, the docs context pack should follow this order:

  1. docs/surfaces.yaml
  2. docs/codemaps/project-overview.md
  3. docs/codemaps/module-map.md when the project is multi-module
  4. docs/codemaps/modules/<artifactId>.md only when module routing can be determined

When mode=refresh is invoked from an OpenSpec-linked flow, the caller should also provide a change-aware refresh context containing:

  • changeId
  • relevant OpenSpec artifact paths
  • changed paths
  • optional target module hints
  • existing docs artifacts

Required Outputs

Return a structured result contract rather than writing arbitrary files directly.

Minimum contract shape:

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "mode": "init",
  "artifact_language": "en",
  "surfacesYaml": "primary_surface: ...",
  "codemaps": [
    {
      "path": "docs/codemaps/project-overview.md",
      "content": "...",
      "action": "upsert"
    }
  ]
}

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.
