At a glance

Start and boundedly follow a remote Devin development task. An agent skill from aigorahub/elves.

  • The user types /devin with implementation instructions
  • Needs DEVIN_API_KEY

What it does

Devin is an agent skill from aigorahub/elves. Start and boundedly follow a remote Devin development task. Use when the user types /devin with implementation instructions.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Autonomous multi-batch development skill for Claude Code and Codex. They work while you sleep. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user types /devin with implementation instructions

Example prompts

  • “/devin”

Requirements

  • A credential in DEVIN_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fba17a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DEVIN_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Devin loads about 198 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 70 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~198

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Devin Remote Task

This is the Elves-managed Claude Code alias for /devin <instructions>.

Load the installed elves skill's Provider shortcut protocols and references/provider-shortcuts.md. Resolve scripts/run_devin.sh from the active Elves skill root, keep the target repository as the working directory, validate the instructions and DEVIN_API_KEY, and run it. The explicit shortcut authorizes remote session creation, not merge or protected-ref authority. Preserve the bounded wait and report the printed session/PR follow links.
