What it does

Dev Auto is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Explicit-only navigator for the dev-skills workflow. Use when the user names dev-auto or explicitly asks for workflow guidance across requirements, implementation, verification, and delivery. Recommends the next step from current evidence; does not execute the workflow. Generic implementation requests or an isolated "what next" do not trigger it. Supports [slug], --status, --next, and --recover.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `examples.md` and `references/dev-baseline.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user names dev-auto
  • Explicitly asks for workflow guidance across requirements

Example prompts

  • “what next”
  • “/dev-auto”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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 Auto loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 894 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

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.

description
Explicit-only navigator for the dev-skills workflow. Use when the user names dev-auto or explicitly asks for workflow guidance across requirements, implementation, verification, and delivery. Recommends the next step from current evidence; does not execute the workflow. Generic implementation requests or an isolated "what next" do not trigger it. Supports [slug], --status, --next, and --recover.

Dev Auto

Recommend the shortest useful path through dev-skills from the user's current state. This is a read-only navigator: no code, artifact writes, subagents, or automatic skill invocation.

Read references/dev-baseline.md. Resolve project paths against the user's project, not the installed skill directory.

Scope and modes

Use only for explicit workflow guidance. A request to fix, implement, plan, review, or commit directly belongs to that task; do not turn it into navigation. When the user has already authorized execution, this optional navigator must not replace that execution request with a suggestion-only response.

ArgumentOutput
[slug] or defaultCurrent evidence, useful remaining steps, and the next action
--status [slug]Current state and uncertainty only
--next [slug]One next command and one sentence explaining why
--recover [slug]Failure cause or missing evidence, recovery action, and what will establish recovery

Resolve the work item

Use the explicit slug, current conversation, and related artifact names. designs/<slug>.md and plans/<slug>.md describe one feature; fixes/<slug>.md is a separate bug namespace. Count matched feature records once. A matching slug across namespaces is not an error: use the request or source links to distinguish them.

Read .design-context.md and .claude/artifacts/{designs,plans,fixes}/ only as needed. Start with filenames, status, and source metadata; read relevant acceptance criteria, open questions, or review evidence when metadata cannot justify the recommendation. Do not infer completion from file existence or timestamps alone.

Infer an unambiguous current item without a confirmation turn. If several unrelated items remain plausible and the choice changes the answer, ask which item. For a new request, a descriptive proposed slug needs no approval because this skill writes no files.

Interpret evidence

EvidenceMeaning
No artifactNo recorded artifact; work may still exist in code or the conversation
Spec DRAFTIntent recorded; check unresolved decisions before recommending implementation
Spec ALIGNEDIntent aligned; use scope and risk to decide whether a separate plan adds value
Spec IMPLEMENTEDImplementation recorded; verification and review still require evidence
Spec STUCKNamed blockers remain; resolve the affected scope before implementation
Plan APPROVEDReviewed plan; not evidence that code or tests are complete
Plan DRAFT / REVISE / REJECT / BELOW_CONSENSUS_THRESHOLDInspect the unresolved issue; recommend planning recovery where it matters
Fix FIXEDRecorded fix; current verification may still be required
Fix DIAGNOSEDCause established; implement only if a fix is requested
Fix PARTIALLY_VERIFIEDInspect the missing proof; narrow claims or complete the relevant check
Fix BLOCKEDResolve the named missing decision or evidence for the affected scope
Fix BELOW_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLDMore diagnostic evidence needed
Fix NEEDS_DESIGN_CHANGEPlan the required design change, then return to the bug workflow
Missing or unknown statusState uncertainty; use available contents and conversation, without inventing a phase

User-provided recent evidence can establish progress, but qualify what has not been inspected. Do not claim to have verified code from metadata.

Choose the next step

Actual needRecommendation
Establish reusable visual direction, with important gapsdev-design-context; an absent file alone is not a blocker
Clarify feature behavior, scope, or acceptancedev-grill-docs (dev-spec remains the spec-only compatibility alias)
Plan known scope with meaningful dependencies or tradeoffsdev-plan; use --deliberate for material migration, compatibility, security, or recovery risk
Implement a scoped feature or refactordev-tdd
Diagnose or fix broken behaviordev-fix; it owns the bug regression loop
Substantiate completion claimsdev-verify
Review pending changes before deliverydev-code-review
Only compose a commit messagedev-commit-writer
Finish verified work through requested merge / PR / keep / discarddev-finish

These are conditional steps, not a mandatory chain. A precise small change can skip intake and planning. Urgency does not determine risk: recommend a focused bug or implementation path and retain the checks warranted by the actual change. A bug does not need a second TDD workflow after dev-fix.

If workspace choice affects the next action, inspect Git root, branch, and status. Preserve the user's selected checkout and dirty changes. Suggest isolation only when it resolves a concrete conflict; do not add a blanket worktree approval checkpoint.

Recovery

Read the reported failure and relevant evidence before choosing recovery. Ask for missing output only when it is necessary and unavailable locally.

  • Requirement blocker: identify the unresolved decision and resume intake when its answer is available.
  • Plan feedback: revise affected steps or assumptions. Exhausted review rounds do not prove an architecture change is necessary.
  • Failing regression proof: improve the reproduction or assertion before changing more code.
  • Repeated fix failure: collect discriminating evidence and revise the hypothesis; consider design work only with supporting evidence.
  • Verification or review failure: fix the concrete blocker and rerun affected checks. A confirmed transient environment failure can justify the same command after the environment recovers.
  • Missing evidence: add the check or narrow the claim. Do not call it verified or recommend bypassing a blocking finding.
  • Destructive finish action: preserve the delivery skill's explicit authorization boundary.

Keep the response proportional to the chosen mode. Link relevant artifacts and give precise skill arguments when those skills are installed; otherwise describe the next task without pretending a missing command exists. See examples.md for edge cases.

SDD Contract

Use existing spec, plan, and fix records as evidence for the recommendation. Preserve their source links, scope, acceptance criteria, and unresolved blockers. Navigation does not change their status or grant implementation or delivery authorization.

Multi-Agent Note

Main-agent-first. This skill does not delegate. A recommended downstream task may delegate under its own rules. In the source repository, docs/multi-agent-policy.md provides optional team context; it is not required for standalone installation.
