developing-applications

developing-applications is a skill for Claude Code from wahidyankf/ose-public. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general guide for building application features in the right code layer and handling errors, input checks, logs, and tests. It uses test-driven development, or TDD, meaning tests are written to guide implementation before or alongside the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding application behaviour, choosing layers, validating input, deciding how errors move, and writing tests first. It applies across programming languages and frameworks.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity about where decisions, side effects, and coordination should live. It also helps developers give each error a clear outcome and test behaviour at the correct boundary.

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

developing-applications 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Developing Applications

The standards own the rules. Hexagonal Architecture and Functional Core, Imperative Shell place code; Test-Driven Development and Test Boundaries and Gates govern tests; Dependency Selection governs what is added; and Implementation Stages orders the work. A language's stack standard, such as TypeScript Standards, adds its own choices. This skill covers the judgement those rules leave to whoever writes the code.

Place Code Before Writing It

Ask of each new piece whether it decides or does. A decision belongs in the domain or functional core and receives everything it needs as a parameter. An effect belongs in an adapter or the shell. Coordinating a use case belongs in the application layer.

Misplacement shows early: a domain function that wants a clock, a connection, or a logger; an adapter holding a condition about a business rule; an application function choosing a transport status. Which layering fits a given application is decided in Application Shapes.

Give Every Error One Fate

At each call that can fail, choose exactly one:

Fate When
handle it here this code can do something meaningful: retry, fall back, or tell the user
propagate it the caller can decide, and this code adds context the caller lacks
fail loudly the failure means a broken invariant or a programming error

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.
