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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.00564 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00226 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00113 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
devin-desktop 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.
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
Devin Desktop
Use this skill when a task touches Devin Desktop, Devin Local, Cascade, .devin/ configuration, hooks, MCP, or agentic-workflow setup.
Mental model
- Devin Desktop is a VS Code-fork IDE with an integrated AI agent panel.
- It runs two agent back-ends: Devin Local (default, shared with Devin CLI) and the legacy Cascade.
- Devin Local uses the same files as Devin CLI:
~/.config/devin/config.json,.devin/config.json,.devin/config.local.json,.devin/hooks.v1.json,.devin/skills/,AGENTS.md. - Cascade is legacy and uses a separate set of files:
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json,.windsurf/rules/,.windsurf/workflows/,~/.codeium/windsurf/memories/.

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.
