dev

A multi-agent workflow for implementing a coding task with parallel development, testing, and code review. It requires Claude Code's agent-team feature to be enabled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building features, running tests, reviewing changes, and iterating until the implementation is clean.
Why use it?
It helps catch problems through independent testing and review while several agents work on the same feature.

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 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 2d 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 — 467 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Iterative Development with Agent Team

Orchestrate a team of agents to implement code, run tests, and review changes in parallel -- iterating until clean. Teammates communicate directly with each other for faster feedback loops.

Prerequisites

Agent teams must be enabled in Claude Code settings:

CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1

If agent teams are not enabled, report: "Agent teams required. Add CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 to your Claude Code settings (env section)." and stop.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS - Required: description of the development task to implement

If no arguments are provided, ask the user what they want to build.

Context

  • Current branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Git status: !git status --short
  • Project root: !pwd
  • Project type: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name go.mod -o -name Gemfile -o -name package.json -o -name Cargo.toml -o -name pyproject.toml -o -name setup.py -o -name requirements.txt -o -name pom.xml -o -name build.gradle -o -name Makefile \) 2>/dev/null | head -5
  • Recent commits: !git log --oneline -5
  • Test files: !find . -maxdepth 4 -name "*_test.*" -o -name "*.test.*" -o -name "*_spec.*" 2>/dev/null | head -10

Phase Protocol

This skill participates in a phase chain. Read ~/.claude/skills/_shared/resources/phase-protocol.md for the full protocol.

Before starting: Check .context/phases/ for prior artifacts:

  • Read the latest plan-*.md (or think-*.md if no plan exists) for implementation context.
  • Use the plan's implementation steps, decisions, and testing strategy to inform the work — don't re-derive what was already decided.

After Phase 7 (summary): Write a build-{ts}.md artifact to .context/phases/ (create with mkdir -p .context/phases). The Detail section should list files changed and decisions made. The Handoff section should note: deviations from the plan, test results, and anything /review should pay attention to.

Overview

You are the lead coordinator for a multi-agent development team. Your job is to orchestrate an iterative cycle: plan, implement, test, review, iterate.

What ships with it

2 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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository drn/dots (23 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 4,007 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
