dev

dev is a skill for Claude Code from iamcxa/kc-claude-plugins. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,080 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A start-or-resume entry point for the kc-dev-flow-2 development workflow. It identifies the project, task, approved profile, scope, and current state before handing work to the workflow coordinator.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to begin new work, continue an existing task, resolve the intended outcome, and pass the task to the workflow's coordinating officer.
Why use it?
It prevents work from restarting with stale context or guessed decisions, especially when several projects, tasks, or workflow profiles exist.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

Dev

Invocation: kc-dev-flow-2:dev

Package root: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} <package> in this skill and its linked files is this root. If the value above is not an absolute path, the root is two directories above this SKILL.md.

Read the framework. This is a start/resume entry, not a worker stage or a second workflow controller. Claude's packaged command is /kc-dev-flow-2:dev; bare /dev is not a promised cross-host alias.

Resolve the absolute project root, explicit workflow directory and intended work item from the request and authoritative project/task records. Reuse established context; do not guess between projects or tasks. Read applicable project conventions and the existing context needed for the requested work.

After resolving the code root, run python3 <package>/scripts/learning.py --repo <absolute-code-root> notices --all. Present relevant unread learning results (items with unread true) to the user, distinguishing pending/uncertain, no-change, local proposal, PR and observed merge; pending proposals are not active rules. Only after actual presentation, run ack --job <job> --expected <notice_digest> for each shown snapshot. Context injection or reading alone is not presentation. A changed digest stays unread; interruption may repeat a notice. Settle every delivery shown open, acknowledged or not, by reading its PR with gh pr view as learn's Follow the delivery to a recorded end says, before presenting. Read failure holds that learning action, not unrelated approved development. This entry-level check is not a host SessionStart hook. Use learn for an explicitly requested named-task loop; notices do not authorize evaluation, delivery, retry or merge.

For existing work, preserve its recorded variant/profile, approved outcome, scope, non-goals and stop condition. Read current state, reports and delivery status instead of assuming a prior conversation is current. An invalid profile, conflicting records or missing authority holds the dependent action; return only the unresolved decision to the user. Do not restart approved design or ask again for an unchanged selection.

For new work without a profile selection, establish the intended outcome and recommend a profile using the framework's intended use and applicable shared profile principles. Ask the user to select it before profile-dependent work. An explicit valid selection is sufficient; FO records it with the variant in the work item through the existing workflow. Recommendation is not selection.

Hand the resolved project root, explicit workflow directory, work item, approved selection/scope and bounded outcome to spacedock:first-officer, with this skill's Package root: value, which FO writes into the scope notes of every worker dispatch and follow-up message with a line telling the worker to send its completion message to main, because the completion block Spacedock appends names team-lead. Retain that workflow directory as --workflow-dir on SD commands; cwd alone is not the binding. If FO is already active, continue there. SD owns stage selection, live worker availability, dispatch, reports, gates and recovery; a resumed FO does not establish that its old worker still exists. An entity sitting in a stage declared gate: true is excluded from spacedock status --next and from --boot's DISPATCHABLE table before the concurrency check runs (Spacedock v0.27.0, internal/status/format.go, dispatchAnalysis, reason gate), so an empty dispatchable view does not mean no worker is available; three of this workflow's five stages (backlog, ideation, validation) declare gate: true, so that empty view is this workflow's normal case, not the exception. Stage skills own profile routing and load the selected references in each worker's context.

Before each worker dispatch and on resume, run python3 <package>/scripts/workflow_checkout.py <workflow-dir>/README.md. Exit 1 means the README FO follows differs from the trunk's, exit 2 that it could not be compared; hold the dispatch, show the Captain the printed remedy or cause, and wait. Do not run the remedy or move the checkout yourself. This sentence sits here because a README old enough to be wrong may not contain 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 iamcxa/kc-claude-plugins (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,080 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-16.
