develop

develop is a skill for Claude Code from rube-de/cc-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (822 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development workflow for creating or changing coding-agent skills, plugins, agents, prompts, and hooks. TDD, or test-driven development, means checking expected behavior before and after implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement GitHub issues involving skill files, agent instructions, hook scripts, or plugin workflows, following a branch-based and test-guided process.
Why use it?
It adds planning, baseline checks, implementation, and review loops so changes to agent behavior are easier to verify.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the TodoWrite tool; mentions Codex.

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.

Part of the plugin-dev plugin — 2 skills, 2 commands shipped together

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

develop 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 7d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Developer Workflow

Implement skill development issues through iterative planning, TDD-governed implementation, and review cycles.

When to Use

  • Implementing a GitHub issue that creates or modifies skills, plugins, agents, or hooks
  • Issue requires TDD-governed phases (baseline → implement → verify)
  • Work involves SKILL.md frontmatter, workflow references, agent prompts, or hook scripts

When NOT to Use

  • General code changes unrelated to skill/plugin authoring
  • Quick validation or auditing — use /plugin-dev instead
  • Scaffolding a new plugin from scratch — use /plugin-dev:create instead

Quick Reference

Phase Action Exit Condition
0. Setup MUST create feature branch On feature branch (NOT main/master)
1. Context Read issue + detect skill files Requirements clear, skill files noted
2. Plan Draft implementation plan Plan complete
3-4. Validate Gemini review loop (max 5) APPROVED status
4.5. Baseline (RED) TODO: #163 — capture baseline behavior Baseline captured (or skipped pending #163)
5-7. Implement (GREEN) Write minimal skill addressing failures All tasks done + criteria met + tests passing + validation passing
7.5. Verify (REFACTOR) TODO: #163 — compare against baseline Benchmark passes (or skipped pending #163) or escalated
8-9. Review Council review (max 3) APPROVED status
10. Finalize Commit + PR PR created
11. Cleanup Clean temps, delete branch Branch deleted after merge

Consultant Scaling

Change Size Criteria Consultants
Trivial <10 lines, no logic changes Skip review → Phase 10
Small 1-2 files, simple logic council:gemini-consultant only
Medium 3-5 files, moderate complexity council:gemini-consultant + council:codex-consultant
Large 6+ files, architectural impact /council skill

Skill File Detection

During Phase 1, detect and note these skill-related files for domain-specific handling:

  • SKILL.md — Skill activation definitions (YAML frontmatter + instructions)
  • references/*.md — Workflow reference files (e.g., references/WORKFLOW.md)
  • agents/*.md — Agent/subagent definitions
  • hooks/hooks.json — Hook config (declares hook types, matchers, and script references)
  • scripts/ — Hook scripts (executables referenced by hooks.json via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/...)

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

develop is a skill published in the GitHub repository rube-de/cc-skills (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 822 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
