dev-workflow

dev-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from clarity-digital-development/tworkflow. It costs 106 tokens per session (1,935 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured development process that moves a code change through planning, implementation, review, testing, release, and reflection. It also includes a screenshot-based visual check for app changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for feature work, migrations, behavior changes, branch or code-difference reviews, testing, and visual checks of an app.
Why use it?
It gives multi-file changes a written, checkable process so important review and quality steps are less likely to be missed.

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-workflow 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/qa-screenshots.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dev Workflow

Run a disciplined loop for the change at hand: Plan → Implement → Review → QA → Ship → Retro. (Context — an accurate CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md — is the standing prerequisite; see the repo's context file.) Determine which phase the user is in from their request and the repo state, and start there — do not force earlier phases if their artifacts already exist.

Core contract for every phase: it consumes a written artifact and produces a written artifact, and the human reads it before the next phase starts.

At every phase boundary: check context usage (invoke the context-checkpoint skill if installed; otherwise ask the user to run /context). Past 40%, recommend a compact or clear at this boundary before entering the next phase.

Templates: prefer the repo's own copies (docs/templates/ or templates/) if present; otherwise use the copies bundled with this skill at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/.

Phase 0 — Triage

Classify the request:

  • Trivial (typo, copy, dep bump): skip this workflow, just do it.
  • Small (single-file fix): one-paragraph plan inline, then implement.
  • Non-trivial (multi-file, behavior change, feature, migration): full loop below.

Phase 1 — Plan

  1. Copy the PLAN.md template (repo copy, else ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/PLAN.md) to docs/plans/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md. It covers: problem, non-goals, premises, alternatives considered, design (including existing code to reuse), failure modes, UI states (if any), test plan, ordered steps.
  2. Verify every premise against the actual code before presenting the plan; mark each ✅/❌. Library/API claims are premises too — verify them against the installed version's docs, not memory. Do not present a plan with unverified premises.
  3. Present at least two approaches with tradeoffs and a recommendation.
  4. Ask the user the scope question explicitly: "What is the smallest version of this that is still useful?" Apply their answer.
  5. Stop. Wait for explicit approval before writing any code. In Claude Code, suggest the user switch to plan mode (Shift+Tab) for this phase.

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.

dev-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository clarity-digital-development/tworkflow (46 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 1,935 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
