evyasys-start-dev

evyasys-start-dev is a skill for Claude Code from Evyasys-Software-Solutions/EvyaGovernance. It costs 165 tokens per session (444 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workflow for starting development on one or more work items. It reviews the work, compares implementation options, checks readiness, and records an agreed technical plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start stories or larger epics, choose an implementation approach, verify development gates, create a feature branch, and move the work into progress.
Why use it?
It catches missing subtasks, dependencies, branch setup, or approval before coding begins. This reduces the chance of starting work that is not ready.

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

evyasys-start-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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (hooks.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Skill: evyasys-start-dev

Phase 1 — Technical Brainstorm

Loads the story and subtasks. Runs a repo scan. Generates at least 3 distinct implementation approaches (each with pros, cons, estimate delta). Recommends one with a clear deciding reason. Waits for team to agree before proceeding.

The brainstorm is saved to the story folder under .evyasys/board/ — it travels with the PR so the architectural decision is on record.

Phase 2 — Start-Dev Gates

Gate Check
Subtasks .evyasys/board/**/<id>/subtasks/<id>_Subtasks.md exists and is non-empty
Branch matches feature/<id>-<kebab> naming convention
Draft PR confirmed open (via gh or user confirmation)
Definition of Ready re-checked line by line against current story
Dependencies each story dependency confirmed cleared

Produces a gate table with GO / NO-GO verdict.

Output

  • .evyasys/board/**/<StoryID>/<StoryID>_TechBrainstorm.md — agreed technical plan
  • ADO state → In Progress
  • Teams kickoff card posted
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
