At a glance

Apply XP principles through simple evolving design, short feedback loops, and shared engineering responsibility.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Extreme Programming is an agent skill from smartfrog/opencode-froggy. Apply XP principles through simple evolving design, short feedback loops, and shared engineering responsibility.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/extreme-programming”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 77779bd. 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

Extreme Programming loads about 315 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 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
~315

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.

Extreme Programming

  • Communication: share objectives, acceptance examples, relevant context, and evidence so another agent can resume the work.
  • Simplicity: apply KISS and YAGNI; reuse existing capabilities and evolve the simplest design meeting current needs.
  • Feedback: verify assumptions early, integrate validated changes frequently, and adjust product decisions using actual user feedback. Use tdd for implementation and backlog-management for ticket workflow.
  • Courage: report failed checks and uncertainty honestly; revise decisions when evidence changes.
  • Respect: give specific, evidence-based feedback, preserve others' work, and bound investigation and correction costs.

Implementers own tests and ongoing refactoring. Reviewers and simplifiers provide targeted help. Follow shared project conventions; temporary scopes coordinate edits rather than establish permanent code ownership. A passing isolated branch is not proof of successful integration. Prefer reversible design decisions and distinguish production-ready changes from experimental findings.
