dev-flow

dev-flow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cookys/autopilot. It costs 133 tokens per session (6,398 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A development workflow that evaluates coding tasks by size and chooses the related process, checks, and agent routing. It includes session-start rules and project-specific configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing feature work, fixes, and other coding tasks; selecting a workflow; applying project settings; and routing work to suitable agents or review steps.
Why use it?
It helps the agent decide how much preparation, review, and coordination a coding task needs before changes begin.

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 B, and why

dev-flow scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 500 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Development Flow Evaluation

Project Config (auto-injected)

!cat .claude/dev-flow-config.md 2>/dev/null || true

Model Routing (for subagent dispatch)

!cat .claude/model-routing-config.md 2>/dev/null || true

If no project config above, use defaults from references/model-routing.md.

Dispatch Chains (for orchestrator routing)

!cat .claude/dispatch-config.md 2>/dev/null || true

If no project config above, autopilot's own fallback skills are primary for methodology; native Task dispatch for parallel; autopilot:reviewer for code review. See project-config-template/dispatch-config.md for the schema.


Phase 1: Session Start

Run before any code changes. Size determines which path executes.

S-Size Fast Path

Overhead target under 5 seconds: (1) restate the task in one sentence; (2) branch check git branch --show-current; (3) proceed to S Workflow — no further gates. S-size skips: branch freshness, knowledge/digest review, draft plan overlap, risk escalation.

L-Size Full Gates

All gates must pass before any code changes begin; a blocked gate surfaces to the decision-maker (user in normal mode, CEO in CEO mode).

1. Session start SHA:  git rev-parse HEAD > .claude/session-start-sha
2. Branch check:       git branch --show-current
3. Branch freshness:   BEHIND=$(git log HEAD..main --oneline 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
                       AHEAD=$(git log main..HEAD --oneline 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
                       → freshness table below; no main (new repo) = skip.
4. Knowledge review:   check .claude/knowledge/ + unprocessed session digests.
5. Draft plan overlap: ls docs/plans/*.md (or project-configured path); overlap with
                       the current task (same feature/module/story) → normal mode:
                       confirm with user (proceed vs adopt draft); CEO mode: DOA.
6. Skill routing:      per CLAUDE.md / project config, invoke the code-area skills
                       before writing code. Active enforcement = the L-1.6 TaskCreate
                       (see L Workflow) — reading this bullet is NOT enough.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

dev-flow is a skill published in the GitHub repository cookys/autopilot (11 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 6,398 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
