dev-task

A set of rules for handling development work in approved repositories, including when to use the main branch or a separate worktree, which is an isolated copy of a repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose a working directory, assess whether isolation is needed, create worktrees, and run the repository's development-task checklist.
Why use it?
It prevents work from happening in the wrong repository or directory and makes parallel or isolated tasks easier to manage.

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

dev-task 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dev task (allowlisted repos)

When

Write work only under allowlist (see AGENTS.md). Pure Q&A: skip. Other repos: refuse.

Logical Roots
团队仓 $HOME/work/team-repo, $HOME/work/.worktrees/team-repo
wezdeck $HOME/github/wezterm-config (primary), optional .worktrees

cwd policy (L0-12/13)

Core: personal projects → default mainline. wezdeck is the local instance.

Repo Default Worktree when
wezdeck (personal) primary master parallel, long experiment, isolated agent cwd, user asks
团队仓 (team-ish) claw-* under dirname(primary)/.worktrees/<repo>/ default isolation unless user overrides

Path formula (when used): dirname(realpath(primary))/.worktrees/<basename(primary)>/<slug>/.

Architecture: openclaw/docs/agent-architecture.md.

Checklist

Same steps as AGENTS.md Write-task checklist (wezdeck may skip assess/create). Scripts: dev-task-ledger.sh, claw-worktree.sh, claw-run.sh.

Assess → create (only when isolation/parallel needed)

./openclaw/scripts/claw-worktree.sh assess \
  --title "<subject>" --domain "<area>" --scope "<hint>" [--days N] \
  --cwd "$HOME/github/wezterm-config"
./openclaw/scripts/claw-worktree.sh create \
  --title "…" --lifecycle task|dev|hotfix --domain "…" \
  --cwd "$HOME/github/wezterm-config"
  • Prefer-reuse same domain; never human dev-*/task-* as write targets.
  • Reclaim never automatic after close (only if a worktree was used).

Rails & modes (user-facing)

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.

dev-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository yunsii/wezdeck (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 2,148 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
