dev-story

dev-story is a skill for Codex from frabcd/codex-ai-game-studio. It costs 89 tokens per session (4,200 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dev-story, MIT.

A development workflow that reads a game story file, gathers its project requirements, and guides an agent through implementation and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a game story, create its test, confirm acceptance criteria, run code review and story verification, and later support full team quality checks.
Why use it?
It turns a story into a checked development task by connecting requirements, design decisions, code, tests, review, and completion checks.

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-story 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to dev-story — 84 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Dev Story

This skill bridges planning and code. It reads a story file in full, assembles all the context a programmer needs, routes to the correct specialist agent, and drives implementation to completion — including writing the test.

The loop for every story:

$ai-game-studio:qa-plan sprint           ← define test requirements before sprint begins
$ai-game-studio:story-readiness [path]   ← validate before starting
$ai-game-studio:dev-story [path]         ← implement it  (this skill)
$ai-game-studio:code-review [files]      ← review it
$ai-game-studio:story-done [path]        ← verify and close it

After all sprint stories are done: run $ai-game-studio:team-qa sprint to execute the full QA cycle and get a sign-off verdict before advancing the project stage.

Output: Source code + test file in the project's src/ and tests/ directories.


Phase 1: Find the Story

If a path is provided: read that file directly.

If no argument: check production/session-state/active.md for the active story. If found, confirm: "Continuing work on [story title] — is that correct?" If not found, ask: "Which story are we implementing?" file discovery production/epics/**/*.md and list stories with Status: Ready.


Phase 2: Load Full Context

Before loading any context, verify required files exist. Extract the ADR path from the story's ADR Governing Implementation field, then check:

File Path If missing
TR registry docs/architecture/tr-registry.yaml STOP — "TR registry not found at docs/architecture/tr-registry.yaml. Run $ai-game-studio:architecture-review to bootstrap the registry from your GDDs and ADRs."
Governing ADR path from story's ADR field STOP — "ADR file [path] not found. Run $ai-game-studio:architecture-decision to create it, or correct the filename in the story's ADR field."
Control manifest docs/architecture/control-manifest.md WARN and continue — "Control manifest not found — layer rules cannot be checked. Run $ai-game-studio:create-control-manifest."

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.
