Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.01748 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00874 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00350 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00175 |
Grade A, and why
start 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 2d 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Guided Onboarding
This skill is the entry point for new users. It does NOT assume you have a project idea, a framework preference, or any prior architecture. It asks first, then routes you to the right software engineering workflow.
Workflow
1. Detect Project State (Silent)
Before asking anything, silently gather context so you can tailor your guidance. Do NOT show these results unprompted — they inform your recommendations, not the conversation opener.
Check:
- Tech Stack configured? Read
README.mdor.claude/docs/technical-preferences.mdto see if frameworks are defined. - Architecture doc exists? Check for
design/architecture/ordocs/architecture.md. - Source code exists? Glob for source files in
src/(*.ts,*.js,*.py,*.go,*.java,*.rs,*.cpp). - Prototypes exist? Check for subdirectories in
prototypes/. - Production artifacts? Check for files in
production/or.github/workflows/.
Store these findings internally. You will use them to validate the user's self-assessment and to tailor follow-up recommendations.
2. Ask Where the User Is
This is the first thing the user sees. Present these 4 options clearly:
Welcome to the Software Development Department!
Before I suggest anything, I'd like to understand where you're starting from. Where are you at with your software project right now?
A) No idea yet — I don't have a project concept at all. I want to explore and figure out what to build.
B) Vague idea — I have a rough problem to solve or a general app idea (e.g., "a SaaS for HR" or "an internal dashboard") but nothing concrete.
C) Clear concept — I know the core idea — target users, basic features, maybe a pitch sentence — but haven't formalized the architecture yet.
D) Existing work — I already have design docs, prototypes, code, or significant planning done. I want to organize, refactor, or continue the work.
Wait for the user's answer. Do not proceed until they respond.
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.

start is a skill published in the GitHub repository tranhieutt/software_development_department (71 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,748 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
