project-development

project-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from guanyang/open-agent-hub. It costs 111 tokens per session (3,655 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of project-development, MIT.

A methodology for deciding how to build projects that use language models, which are AI systems that generate or analyze text and code. It covers task suitability, pipeline design, cost estimation, and single-agent or multi-agent choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan batch-processing systems, agent pipelines, structured outputs, token and cost estimates, and project iteration.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using an AI system where it is a poor fit and provides a way to structure complex AI work before implementation.

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

project-development 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pipeline_template.py), 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.

Project Development Methodology

This skill covers the principles for identifying tasks suited to LLM processing, designing effective project architectures, and iterating rapidly using agent-assisted development. The methodology applies whether building a batch processing pipeline, a multi-agent research system, or an interactive agent application.

The unit of work for this skill is the whole project or a multi-stage pipeline. Individual tool design (descriptions, schemas, error messages) belongs to tool-design. Per-skill activation routing belongs to the corresponding skill plus the corpus index. This skill owns the project-level questions: should you build this with an LLM at all, what shape should the pipeline take, what does it cost, how should it be iterated.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when the unit of work is a whole project or pipeline:

  • Deciding whether an LLM is the right primitive for a task at all (task-model fit before any code).
  • Shaping a multi-stage batch or agent pipeline (acquire / prepare / process / parse / render).
  • Estimating tokens, dollar cost, and timelines for an LLM-heavy project.
  • Choosing between single-agent and multi-agent at the project level.
  • Structuring agent-assisted iteration (where the agent helps build the project itself).
  • Designing structured output at the pipeline contract level (cross-stage handoff format).

Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills:

  • Per-tool description, schema, naming, response format, error message: tool-design.
  • Per-trajectory token-efficiency tactics (masking, partitioning, caching): context-optimization.
  • Deciding to split work across sub-agents at the agent topology level: multi-agent-patterns.
  • Designing the autonomous control loop (locked metrics, novelty gates, human approval boundaries): harness-engineering.

Core Concepts

Task-Model Fit Recognition

Evaluate task-model fit before writing any code, because building automation on a fundamentally mismatched task wastes days of effort. Run every proposed task through these two tables to decide proceed-or-stop.

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.
