What is code-dev-workflow?

A structured workflow for coding-agent sessions that separates exploring a codebase, reading selected file sections, and writing changes.

Use it to inspect a repository, record what needs to be read, summarize relevant code, and build changes in small, ordered sections.

It keeps the agent from losing context or loading large files unnecessarily before making edits.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00022	$0.00217
Opus 5	$0.00011	$0.00109
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00043
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00022

Security

Grade A, and why

code-dev-workflow 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to code-dev-workflow — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Code Dev Workflow

Use when the session is in code_dev mode.

Phases

Explore — code_outline, grep, lsp_*, code_search (if enabled). Write scratchpad_write(key="phase", value="explore") and a file list to read.
Read — file_read with start_line/end_line only. Summarize into scratchpad. Then phase=read.
Author — file_write skeleton first, then section-by-section updates. phase=author.

Rules

Never read entire large files without outline + line ranges.
Do not mirror document milestones into todo_write unless executing multi-step work.

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.
