get-dev-token

get-dev-token is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from johnkozaris/jko-claude-plugins. It costs 24 tokens per session (234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development login-token helper for OIDC, a standard system for issuing access tokens to applications. It uses the project's configured token command or its usual macOS browser-based login script.

In plain words
What is it for?
Acquire a backend development token, inspect its identity and policy claims, diagnose login-related 401 errors, and fix a cached browser identity when necessary.
Why use it?
It avoids manually obtaining and handling access tokens during local development. It can also inspect token claims—details such as identity and permissions—without displaying the token.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

get-dev-token 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 2 executable files (references/token-script.sh, scripts/decode-jwt.sh), 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.

What it actually says

Get Development Token

Use TOKEN_COMMAND when the project defines one. Otherwise prefer the repository convention scripts/get-backend-token.sh; if absent, scaffold it from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/get-dev-token/references/token-script.sh after confirming provider/client configuration.

Capture the script's stdout into a shell variable; never surface the token in the response. Issuer URLs and public-client IDs follow repository configuration policy rather than a blanket secret rule.

If the access token is JWT-shaped, inspect claims with the bundled scripts/decode-jwt.sh in this skill directory; call this inspection, not verification. Compare the identity and policy claims with the backend configuration.

Load references/oidc-token-flows.md when grant selection, discovery, refresh, or a 401 requires deeper diagnosis.

If the wrong browser identity was cached, delete only the matching Keychain entry using both service and client account.

Files

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.
