role-activation

role-activation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vmobifystudio/app-dev-team. It costs 82 tokens per session (5,852 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-start process for deciding which specialist roles an app actually needs and recording those choices for later work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps initialise projects by identifying the product type and project size, then creating a durable team roster for future commands and checks.
Why use it?
It prevents small or specialised projects from carrying unnecessary reviews and keeps skipped roles distinguishable from roles that were never considered.

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

role-activation 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 today.

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 — 286 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role activation

The roster is not fixed. A three-screen utility does not need a CEO and a CPO, and a backend service does not need an ASO specialist, a store-readiness gate, or a runtime gate hunting for an .xcodeproj. Activation has two axes, and both are decided once, up front, and written down.

  • Tierflagship | utility. How much process the work deserves (House KB §Tiers).
  • Product typeios-app | android-app | mobile-app | backend-service | web-app | cli | library. Which specialists exist at all.

A deactivated role is recorded, never silently absent. Everything below exists to serve that one rule: an absent role and a skipped role must stay distinguishable six months later.

Determining the two axes

Greenfield — from docs/01-intake.md, which requirements-intake has already written:

  • Product type ← its ## Product type answer (intake question 3). One answer, verbatim.
  • Tier ← an explicit --utility / --flagship flag if the user passed one; otherwise derive: utility when the intake describes a single-purpose tool with one core action and no subscription, content library, or AI system; flagship otherwise. State the derived tier and its evidence in the Gate 1 brief — it is a scope decision, and Gate 1 is where scope is approved.

Brownfield — from brownfield-onboarding Step 1 detection, never from a README:

Detected Product type
*.xcodeproj / *.xcworkspace only ios-app
settings.gradle* + app/ only android-app
both of the above mobile-app
package.json with a web framework, or any public/+index.html web-app
server framework or Dockerfile/Procfile, no UI surface backend-service
a binary entry point (bin, cmd/, main.go, [[bin]]) and no UI cli
a package manifest that publishes, with no entry point library

Tier for brownfield: derive from the app's size and shape (module count, subscription/ads SDKs present), and say which signal decided it. When detection is ambiguous, ask the user one question — do not guess. A wrong product type turns off the wrong specialists.

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.

role-activation is a skill published in the GitHub repository vmobifystudio/app-dev-team (4 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 5,852 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
