dev

A full test-driven development cycle that plans a task, reviews the plan, implements the code, verifies the result, and accepts the completed work. Test-driven development, or TDD, means using tests to guide and check the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop a task from a TODO item or description, consult project knowledge files, run planning and skeptical review, implement the change, and verify it automatically.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable path from an unfinished task to verified code while considering the project’s recorded decisions, patterns, and handoff notes.

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 yesterday.

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.

Dev Cycle

Full TDD development cycle from planning through verified implementation. Reads/writes CMCM knowledge files (decisions, patterns, handoff).

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Phase 1 — Dual-Source Plan + Skeptic Review

  1. Resolve task context.

    • If $ARGUMENTS is a step number: read TODO.md for task details (description, rationale, files).
    • If $ARGUMENTS is a description: use it directly.
    • Read CMCM files (if they exist, skip silently if missing):
      • HANDOFF.md — if present, display session continuity before proceeding (covers the case where /load was skipped)
      • DECISIONS.md — prior technical decisions (stays in context for planning)
      • PATTERNS.md — established code patterns (stays in context for planning)
      • CC.md — Node.js / TypeScript clean code rules (stays in context for planning and implementation)
  2. Run /plan-x. Invoke the plan-x skill with the task description. This handles:

    • Launching Codex planning in background
    • Interactive plan mode with the user
    • Merging Codex additions into the approved plan
    • Skeptic review via /plan-review

    DECISIONS.md and PATTERNS.md are already in context from step 1. When formulating the plan:

    • Reference relevant decisions — the plan must not contradict prior decisions without explicitly revisiting them.
    • Reference applicable patterns — the plan should reuse established patterns rather than inventing new approaches.
  3. Wait for /plan-x to complete (plan approved, reviewed, and finalized) before continuing.

Phase 2 — Record Decisions & Session State

  1. Log rejected alternatives — MANDATORY CHECK. After the plan is approved, explicitly review the planning discussion and ask: "Were any alternative approaches considered and rejected?"

    • If YES → append to DECISIONS.md:
      ## YYYY-MM-DD — short title
      Chose X over Y.
      Why: reasoning from the plan discussion
      
    • If NO (straightforward, no real alternatives) → skip, but confirm in output: DECISIONS.md: no new entries (no alternatives considered)

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.

dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository janeksm/mcp-digger (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 854 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
