ai-dev-log

ai-dev-log is a skill for Claude Code from pitimon/8-habit-ai-dev. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development record built from Git history, including commit authorship notes showing when an AI coding assistant helped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document AI-assisted development for EU AI Act records, periodic reviews, audits, or onboarding.
Why use it?
It provides an audit trail of AI involvement instead of requiring the team to reconstruct that information later.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

ai-dev-log 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 6d 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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Development Log Generator

Habit: H4 (Win-Win — honest disclosure to stakeholders) + H1 (Be Proactive — produce audit trail before audit) Anti-pattern: Hiding AI involvement from stakeholders, or scrambling to reconstruct AI usage at audit time

Why This Exists

EU AI Act Article 11 requires technical documentation kept up-to-date through the system lifecycle. Article 13 (3)(d) requires disclosure of how AI assists the development process. Beyond compliance, transparency about AI involvement is a deposit in the Emotional Bank Account — stakeholders trust you more when you're upfront.

This skill generates a chronological dev log showing:

  • Which commits had human + AI collaboration
  • Which AI model(s) contributed
  • Date ranges of AI activity
  • Human authors who reviewed/approved

When to Use

  • Before major release for EU-targeted high-risk AI systems (Article 11 evidence)
  • Quarterly for projects using AI coding assistants
  • During audit preparation (any framework that requires AI disclosure)
  • When onboarding new team members (show how AI fits into workflow)

When to Skip

  • Project has no AI-authored commits (no Co-Authored-By trailers)
  • Project is fully human-authored (no AI assistance in scope)
  • Already have a comprehensive AI usage report from another tool

Quick Run (one command)

# Default: last 90 days, markdown to stdout

# Save to compliance folder

# Reproduce a previously generated report from its recorded boundary

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.
