.agents/skills/dev/SKILL.md

dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slopus/happy. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,894 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A local development guide for Happy, a pnpm monorepo containing its command-line tool, server, mobile and desktop app, agent runtime, and shared data definitions. It covers installing, building, testing, and running these parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing Happy locally, building or testing a package, running the CLI or daemon, or starting development for the server, app, or desktop version.
Why use it?
It records the project’s required package manager and commands, reducing setup mistakes and helping changes be checked consistently.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is slopus/happy's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on happy itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything happy configures →

About the project

Happy is a mobile, web, and desktop client that lets people use Claude Code and Codex remotely from their computers and mobile devices. It is for developers who want encrypted access to coding-agent sessions, including notifications and switching between devices. The catalogue add-ons extend the workflows available in this client.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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 C, and why

dev scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/dev - Local Development

Happy is a pnpm monorepo. Everything uses pnpm workspaces — do not use npm or yarn directly.

First-time setup

pnpm install                       # installs deps for every package
pnpm --filter happy cli:install    # builds happy-cli + links it as the global `happy` binary

cli:install replaces whatever happy is on your PATH (npm-installed or not) with a symlink to packages/happy-cli/. Daemon is restarted as part of the script. Uses ~/.happy/ — same as production.

To undo: npm unlink -g happy && npm i -g happy@latest.

Packages

packages/happy-cli     # the `happy` CLI and daemon, published to npm
packages/happy-server  # Node + Prisma server, deployed via TeamCity
packages/happy-app     # Expo app: iOS, Android, web, Tauri desktop
packages/happy-agent   # agent runtime
packages/happy-wire    # shared Zod schemas + wire types

happy-cli

packages/happy-cli
scripts in package.json:
  typecheck      # tsc --noEmit
  build          # rm -rf dist && tsc --noEmit && pkgroll
  test           # build + vitest run
  cli:install    # build + stop daemon + npm link + start daemon
  prepublishOnly # pnpm test (runs build inside test)
  postinstall    # unpacks difft + rg binaries into tools/unpacked/

Work loop:

pnpm --filter happy cli:install   # rebuild + relink + restart daemon
happy daemon status               # confirm your build is running
happy doctor                      # list all happy processes
tail -f ~/.happy/logs/$(ls -t ~/.happy/logs/ | head -1)

Run a single test file quickly:

pnpm --filter happy exec vitest run src/path/to/file.test.ts

Unit-only (fast, ~1 min):

pnpm --filter happy exec vitest run --project unit

Integration tests hit real APIs and are flaky — run on demand, never in the release gate.

Dev data sandbox (optional)

happy reads HAPPY_HOME_DIR to override ~/.happy/. To run two versions side-by-side without touching your prod auth:

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.
