What it does

Development Team is an agent skill from mvschwarz/openrig. Use when a development pod begins or hands off implementation, QA, or design work.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 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: Build your own network of agents from Claude Code, Codex and Pi: persistent teams with roles, shared context and owned work. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A development pod begins
  • Hands off implementation

Example prompts

  • “/development-team”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f69831. 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

Development Team loads about 721 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~721

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.

Use when a development pod begins or hands off implementation, QA, or design work.

Development Team

The pod turns the assigned user outcome into working software. Builders, QA and designers are capabilities; neighboring roles may be held by one seat unless independence was explicitly selected.

Start from the work

Run rig whoami --json, then resolve project.yaml -> mission.yaml -> active slice.yaml -> selected component or wave map -> addressed context. The complete lookup and precedence rule is docs/reference/product-journey-sdlc.md#resolve-the-selected-path (installed: $OPENRIG_HOME/reference/product-journey-sdlc.md#resolve-the-selected-path). Read the selected addresses and source needed for this task; skills available in your profile are capabilities, not a mandatory reading list. No composition means light Part A. Role names and idle seats add no gates. Explicit rigor and authored wave boundaries retain their named checks.

Build and verify

Clarify consequential uncertainty, inspect the existing seam, then complete one coherent outcome. Reproduce a defect before repairing it; use tests that distinguish the failure and verify through the public surface. Keep chunks as large as the outcome and file territory permit. TDD is a feedback loop, not a two-seat protocol.

The builder reports the exact candidate, changed behavior, commands and observed results, with remaining uncertainty. No universal pre-edit proposal, QA approval or post-edit gate is implied. When one is explicitly selected, honor its boundary and send the relevant evidence directly to its owner.

QA and design

QA compares the delivered behavior with the actual contract. Read the diff and exercise the result; avoid tests that merely repeat the implementation. On a tiny change the builder may hold QA. Independent QA excludes the author when selected. A wave receives independent review at its authored boundary, not per slice.

Design clarifies user flows and ambiguous behavior when the outcome needs it. Browser and dogfood skills load for a relevant UI journey, not every task. During assigned dogfood, fix-and-retest only within the granted scope; a read-only assignment stays read-only. If a tester becomes an author, preserve that attribution when independent evaluation is required.

Blockers and return

Use systematic-debugging for an unexpected failure and verification-before-completion before claiming success. A permission prompt is a concrete blocker; report the command and consequence instead of labeling it progress. A missing decision goes to the owner who can settle it.

Return the candidate and evidence through the selected handoff. Do not create obligations just to keep an idle QA, guard or reviewer occupied. Quality is a working product with honest evidence, not the number of transfers.
