codev

A command-line project-management framework for creating or adding a structured Codev setup to a software project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a Codev project, add Codev to an existing repository, update its framework files, or check required dependencies.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually create and maintain project folders, instructions, roles, protocols, and skills.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

codev 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

codev - Project Management CLI

Commands

codev init [project-name]      Create a new codev project directory
codev adopt                    Add codev to the current directory
codev update                   Update protocols, roles, skills from package
codev doctor                   Check system dependencies

codev init

Creates a new directory with the full codev structure: specs/, plans/, reviews/, protocols, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/skills/, .codev/config.json, .gitignore.

codev init my-app              # Interactive setup
codev init my-app -y           # Non-interactive with defaults

codev adopt

Adds codev to the current directory (existing project). Run from the project root. If CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md already exists, creates .codev-new versions and spawns Claude to merge.

codev adopt                    # Interactive
codev adopt -y                 # Skip conflict prompts

codev update

Updates framework files (protocols, roles, skills) from the installed @cluesmith/codev package. Never touches user data (specs, plans, reviews). Creates .codev-new versions for customized files.

codev update                   # Interactive update
codev update --dry-run         # Preview changes
codev update --force           # Overwrite all framework files
codev update --agent           # Agent mode: JSON stdout, no interactive merge

codev doctor

Checks all required dependencies: Node.js (>=18), git (>=2.5), gh (authenticated), and at least one AI CLI (Claude, Gemini, or Codex).

codev doctor

Common mistakes

  • There is NO codev tower command — use afx tower start/stop
  • codev init creates a new directory — use codev adopt for existing projects
  • Always run codev adopt and codev update from the project root
  • codev update only updates framework files — it never touches specs/plans/reviews

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.

codev is a skill published in the GitHub repository cluesmith/ci-channel (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 538 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
