shaft-developer

shaft-developer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShaftHQ/SHAFT_ENGINE. It costs 28 tokens per session (634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for SHAFT testing work. It helps choose one specialist skill for tasks such as planning, implementation, execution, or failure analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a SHAFT task to select the right next skill for the specific deliverable.
Why use it?
It prevents a testing task from being handled by several overlapping specialists or the wrong one. SHAFT is the testing framework being used.

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

shaft-developer 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 4d 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.

SHAFT Developer

Routing

Read the deterministic routing map, select the single closest specialist for the current deliverable, and load only that skill. A natural-language web, mobile, or API scenario whose output is generated test code starts at shaft-test-recording, then returns here for shaft-recording-codegen after the recording is persisted and replay-proven. Return here only when the user asks for a distinct next deliverable. Never guess SHAFT syntax, tool names, execution evidence, or product behavior.

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.
