What it does

Dev Patterns is an agent skill from GetStream/stream-chat-react. Styling and structure conventions for stream-chat-react. Use when adding or editing components, SCSS, or icons in this repo—file layout, styling folder structure, SCSS imports, and icon placement.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling and File organization. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: React Chat SDK ➜ Stream Chat 💬.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing components
  • Icons in this repo—file layout
  • Styling folder structure

Example prompts

  • “/dev-patterns”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Three groups; within each group, alphabetical order.
  2. Group 1: imports from src/styling/.
  3. Group 2: general components (Button, Dialog, etc.).
  4. Group 3: chat components (MessageList, etc.).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1af035e. 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Dev Patterns loads about 748 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~748

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 326 words (~748 tokens).

“Apply when generating or modifying UI code in this repo.”
