BF claude-code-dev
How to develop, modify, and extend the Claude Code codebase following its established programming style, patterns, and conventions. Use this skill whenever working on the claude-code source — adding tools, commands, utils, components, types, hooks, services, or fixing bugs. Also use when the user asks about claude-code architecture, coding standards, file organization, or wants to understand how the codebase works. This skill ensures all contributions match the existing codebase style exactly.
The skill promises a guide for Claude Code development — architecture, patterns, coding style. 16 files, 680 body tokens, no scripts. Checks found no critical issues, quality scored 77, but process score sits at 32%. No model runs or sandbox tests.
Files are in place, syntax is clean, but the skill hasn't been tested in real conditions — unclear how it handles actual coding tasks. Useful as a style reference, but install knowing this is more of a foundation than a finished tool.

As a process F 32/100 · No process to follow — weak spots: steps, result and completion, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 32/100
- 0Steps. Prose only: no discrete steps
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (claude-code-dev) differs from the folder (claude-code-skills)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 680 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
