dx-new

dx-new is a skill for Claude Code from dikamilo/dx-workflow. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A starting workflow for beginning a new piece of development work. It creates the work item's identity file and directs you to the next command, while requiring the project's context folders to exist first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a new feature, refactor, or other change, or to begin a numbered slice of an existing effort. It records the change or slice and its initial status.
Why use it?
It prevents new work from being created in the wrong place or without an assigned identity. It also preserves existing roadmap names when starting a smaller task within a larger effort.

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

dx-new 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 22d 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dx-new — the entry point and router

Every piece of work starts here. Your one job is to pick the container level, create its identity file, and print the next command. You do not research, frame, or plan — you route.

Guard. If context/ isn't scaffolded (no changes/ or efforts/), stop and tell the user to run /dx-init. Never auto-create the parent tree.

Briefs named in the argument — optional, loose, plural

A brief under context/foundation/briefs/ may be named anywhere in the argument, in any form — a bare slug, a filename, a full path, several of them — with no flag and no fixed position. Those names are settled upstream context, not part of the idea: strip them before deriving a slug. A name that doesn't resolve is never guessed at — list context/foundation/briefs/ and ask which was meant. No brief named is the ordinary case and changes nothing below.

Record the resolved ones as a single prose line in the new container's ## Notes, naming their paths (Briefs: context/foundation/briefs/<slug>.md, …). Nothing is copied and no frontmatter field changes — that line is the pointer dx-frame and dx-plan follow.

Slice of an existing effort — read the id, don't invent one

If invoked as dx-new <effort-id> <slice-n>, this is a child change — a different path from everything below. Read context/efforts/<effort-id>/roadmap.md and find ### Slice <slice-n>: its - change: <slug> line is the id dx-roadmap already assigned, and the slice name is the title. Use them as-is — do not derive a new slug from scratch, that would orphan the roadmap's link. Missing effort or slice → tell the user to run /dx-roadmap <effort-id> first.

Create context/changes/<slug>/change.md with effort: <effort-id>, slice: <slice-n>, status: new. Default type: feature unless effort.md's ## Notes carries the marker line Refactor effort — findings promoted from /dx-refactor-discover. (written once at effort creation — see Promoted entries), then type: refactor; or the marker Candidate effort — default slice type: <type>; promoted from /dx-review <policy-id>. (see Promoted entries), then that <type>. Fill every other frontmatter field the schema defines — invoke dx-references with topic change-md for the exact shape. The child inherits the effort's research/ and frame.md in place (nothing is copied) — its problem framing is already settled, so skip straight to /dx-plan <slug>. Optionally run /dx-frame <slug> first instead: in slice mode it adds only this slice's own ## User cases to a small frame.md of its own, without reopening the inherited framing.

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.
