clio-kit-clio-coder-dev

clio-kit-clio-coder-dev is a skill for Claude Code from iowarp/clio-kit. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A procedure for changing Clio Coder's own source code and supporting setup, including its terminal interface, skills, agents, tools, and instructions. It defines which changes are ordinary and which need explicit user intent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Clio Coder, deciding whether a change is allowed, and following the required development workflow.
Why use it?
It helps contributors avoid breaking the coding agent's architecture while modifying the agent itself.

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

clio-kit-clio-coder-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 9d 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host compatibility

This copy is adapted from Clio Coder. Apply the procedure using the current host's available tools and the user's authorized scope. The tool names, /skill invocations, .clio-coder paths, fleets, approval gates and completion gates below describe Clio Coder; they are not installed or enforced by this skill in another host. Use the host's actual skill invocation and equivalent tools. If no equivalent exists, report the missing capability. Do not assume a tool is unavailable merely because the original headless workflow says so. A referenced agent or skill must be installed before relying on it. Scientific MCPs must be configured separately.

Adapted skills use the clio-kit- prefix to distinguish them from upstream audited skills. For a companion skill named below, select its clio-kit- copy from this collection; native agents, fleets and external programs retain their original names.

Clio Dev (self-development)

Working inside Clio Coder's own source tree is ordinary repository work with one extra discipline: the contribution boundary. This skill governs that boundary and the change workflow.

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: clio-coder-test for test mechanics (which layer to run, the hot-reload loop). This skill decides whether a change may leave the machine; clio-coder-test decides how to verify it.

The contribution boundary

Two categories. They are not the same:

  • Local development and testing: editing source, running tests, reconfiguring the local install, dogfooding skills, making a local commit when the user asked for the work. Permitted freely.
  • Contribution to the shared project: pushing, opening PRs, publishing releases, tagging, or altering git remotes. Requires explicit user intent, every time. No exception for "tiny" changes.

STOP — red flags

Any of these thoughts means you are about to cross the boundary. Stop, validate locally, report, and ask:

  • "The change works, I'll just push it so we're done."
  • "It's a tiny PR, I'll open it real quick."
  • "Let me tag a release / bump the version while I'm here."
  • "I'll commit and push so the next session has it."
  • "We're out of time, ship it."

What ships with it

3 files 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.
