dev-workflows

dev-workflows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 29 tokens per session (405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured workflow guide for running builds, executing tests, and improving developer workflows. Developer experience means making projects easier to build, test, and use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run builds and tests, investigate failures, improve onboarding and tooling, and record results and next steps.
Why use it?
It provides repeatable checks and diagnostics when builds or tests fail, or when development setup needs improvement.

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-workflows 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.

What it actually says

Dev Workflows

Overview

Unify build, test, and DX improvement workflows so they are repeatable and reliable. Focus on safe execution, clear diagnostics, and actionable follow-ups.

When to Use

  • Running builds or resolving build failures
  • Executing tests or analyzing test failures
  • Improving onboarding, tooling, or developer workflows

Avoid when:

  • The task is pure code implementation
  • A full release process is required (use release-prep)

Quick Reference

Task Load reference
Build workflows skills/dev-workflows/references/build.md
Test workflows skills/dev-workflows/references/test.md
DX improvements skills/dev-workflows/references/dx.md

Workflow

  1. Select the workflow type: build, test, or DX.
  2. Load the matching reference file.
  3. Execute with monitoring and capture diagnostics.
  4. Apply fixes or improvements as needed.
  5. Verify outcomes and document next steps.

Output

  • Execution summary (status, errors, next steps)
  • Suggested follow-ups or improvements

Common Mistakes

  • Skipping baseline environment checks
  • Running tests without capturing failing output
  • Changing DX workflows without documenting impact
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.
