solve

A coding workflow that breaks a problem into general rules, tests possible situations, writes tests first (TDD), implements the solution, and checks the result. TDD means test-driven development: writing tests before the code they check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when solving programming tasks that need scenario analysis, automated tests, implementation, and verification.
Why use it?
It helps prevent fixes that work only for one example, missed edge cases, and skipped testing.

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

solve 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.

$ARGUMENTS


Current project context (auto-injected)

Language/framework detection:

!`ls package.json pyproject.toml Cargo.toml go.mod pom.xml Gemfile composer.json mix.exs 2>/dev/null || echo "(no package manifest found)"`

Existing test directory:

!`ls -d tests/ test/ __tests__/ spec/ src/test/ src/__tests__/ 2>/dev/null | head -10 || echo "(no test directory found)"`

Active task (if resuming):

!`cat deep-engineer/current-task.md 2>/dev/null || echo "(no active task)"`

Discipline warnings (if any):

!`grep -c '"warning"' deep-engineer/log.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo "0"` warnings in log

RESUME LOGIC — Check this FIRST

Read the "Active task" section above.

If there IS an active task, determine the current phase from the frontmatter (phase: <value>) and skip directly to that phase's section below. Do NOT repeat completed phases. Announce:

Resuming task at Phase N:

Previously completed:

If there is NO active task, start from Phase 1.


CRITICAL RULES — Read before doing ANYTHING

  1. The user's description is ONE example. Identify the GENERAL pattern.
  2. You MUST list at least 5 scenarios before writing any code. The save_task tool will REJECT fewer than 5.
  3. You MUST NOT write implementation code before tests. The stop hook will BLOCK you and print a violation.
  4. Your tests MUST include cases the user did NOT mention.
  5. If your code uses any value from the user's specific example as a literal/hardcode, you're doing it wrong.
  6. You MUST run tests and loop until ALL pass.
  7. You CANNOT skip phases. The update_phase tool enforces sequential order.
  8. Check for warnings by calling check_warnings before each phase transition.

Phase 1: Generalize

Restate the user's problem as a GENERAL problem. Strip away their specific example and find the underlying pattern.

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.

solve is a skill published in the GitHub repository gowtham012/Claude-plugins (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,141 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 2026-08-31.
