source-driven-development

source-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS. It costs 19 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development method that bases coding decisions on authoritative sources such as standards, specifications, official documentation, and tickets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing standards such as OAuth or HTTP, connecting to third-party APIs, or meeting written requirements.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when behavior is unclear or undocumented. Important decisions can be checked against the source that supports them.

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

source-driven-development 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.

What it actually says

Overview

Assumptions are expensive. This skill requires every non-obvious implementation decision to be traceable to an authoritative source: the spec, the RFC, the official documentation, the ticket. Without a source, it's a guess.

When to Use

  • When implementing a standard or protocol (OAuth, HTTP, JWT, etc.)
  • When integrating with a third-party API
  • When the implementation relies on undocumented behavior
  • When "I think this is how it works" appears in your reasoning

Process

Step 1: Identify what you're implementing

What standard, protocol, API, or requirement are you implementing? What is the authoritative source?

Step 2: Read the source before writing code

For protocols: read the RFC. For APIs: read the official API documentation (not a blog post). For requirements: re-read the spec.

Step 3: Cite the source in the implementation

For non-obvious behavior: add a comment citing the source. Example:

# Per RFC 7519 Section 4.1.4, exp claim is NumericDate (seconds since epoch)
# https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.4

Step 4: Identify the gaps

What does the source not specify? These are places where you must make explicit decisions. Document them as decisions, not silently.

Step 5: Validate against the source

After implementation: validate your implementation against the authoritative source. For protocols: test against a reference implementation.

Verification Requirements

  • Authoritative source identified and read before implementation
  • Non-obvious behavior cites the source
  • Gaps from the source documented as explicit decisions
  • Implementation validated against the source

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.
