help

An interactive guide to devloop, a coding workflow where Claude works directly on the code. It explains the workflow, commands, optional skills and agents, and how to use the superpowers plugin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Learning how to start devloop, plan and run coding tasks, save work before clearing context, and understand its skills, agents, and plugin workflow.
Why use it?
It gives developers a starting point when they do not know devloop's commands or working cycle. It also helps them find the right topic instead of searching through documentation.

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 C, and why

help scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Topic: Getting Started

What is devloop?

Development workflow where Claude does the work directly. No routine agents. Just you, Claude, and the code.

Quick Start

/devloop:plan "How should we implement feature X?"  # Plan (or --deep for exploration)
/devloop:run                                        # Execute tasks
/devloop:fresh && /clear                           # Save state, clear context (every fresh_threshold tasks (default 10, configurable in .devloop/local.md))
/devloop:run                                        # Continue execution

First Session

  1. Have a task? /devloop:plan [task] (or --deep for detailed exploration)
  2. Claude explores, creates plan
  3. You approve
  4. /devloop:run to implement
  5. Every fresh_threshold tasks (default 10, configurable in .devloop/local.md): /devloop:fresh then /clear then /devloop:run
  6. Done? /devloop:ship

Topic: Commands

Decision Tree

Starting new work?
|-- Unclear requirements  -> /devloop:plan --deep
|-- Small, clear task     -> /devloop:plan --quick
|-- Normal feature        -> /devloop:plan
|-- Have a plan           -> /devloop:run

Mid-workflow?
|-- Context heavy         -> /devloop:fresh -> /clear -> /devloop:run
|-- Ready to commit       -> /devloop:ship
|-- Want review           -> /devloop:review

Returning?
|-- /devloop:run

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.

help is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zate/cc-plugins (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 2,308 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
