sova: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/sova-new-feature/SKILL.md

sova-new-feature is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xsovad06/sova. It costs 16 tokens per session (578 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow that starts feature development from an up-to-date, clean main branch and creates a named Git branch. It also reads project instructions and prepares an implementation checklist.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when beginning a feature, fix, or refactor to create the branch, identify affected files, list dependencies, and outline the work.
Why use it?
It reduces setup mistakes such as branching from stale code, carrying unrelated changes, or missing project conventions.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

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

This is xsovad06/sova's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on sova 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 sova configures →

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

sova-new-feature 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 14d 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.

Start New Feature

Set up a new feature branch and prepare for development.

Feature name/description: the arguments provided when this skill is invoked

Workflow

1. Ensure Clean Starting Point

  • Resolve the default branch: BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name)
  • Fetch it: git fetch origin "$BASE"
  • Ensure the current working tree is clean: git status

2. Create Feature Branch

  • Derive a branch name from the description (lowercase, hyphenated)
    • Features: feat/<name> (e.g., feat/income-crud)
    • Fixes: fix/<name> (e.g., fix/currency-conversion)
    • Refactors: refactor/<name> (e.g., refactor/auth-flow)
  • If the project keeps active branches in worktrees (.claude/worktrees/ exists, or its rules say so), create the branch in a new worktree so the primary checkout stays on the base branch, then do all further work from that directory:
    BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name)
    git worktree add ".claude/worktrees/<issue-or-topic>" -b "<branch-name>" "origin/$BASE"
    
  • Otherwise, from a checkout on the base branch: git pull origin "$BASE", then git checkout -b <branch-name>

3. Review Context

  • Read CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md for project conventions
  • Read agent memory files if they exist (.claude/agent-memory/; for a split cookbook in .claude/agent-memory/cookbook/, read its README.md index and only the relevant domain files)
  • Identify which existing modules/files will be affected

4. Plan

  • Break the feature into concrete implementation tasks
  • Create a task checklist with the tasks
  • Identify any dependencies or prerequisites

5. Report

Tell the user:

  • Branch name created
  • High-level implementation plan
  • Which files/modules will be affected
  • Any questions or ambiguities to resolve before starting
  • Suggest running the sova-develop skill to begin implementation

Cross-References

  • Ready to implement? Run the sova-develop skill or the sova-develop-full skill
  • Need to understand approaches first? Run the sova-develop-explain skill

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.
