Show or change this project's dev mode (spike, poc, mvp, production, sensitive), which sets how much code review runs and which security findings stop the line; start a hardening phase. Owner-invoked only.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

Write Dev mode: <mode> into the project's CLAUDE.md, replacing the existing line or adding one directly under its first heading.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
/dev-mode — the project's dev mode
The rules are section 14, ~/.claude/rules/DEV_MODES.md. Read it by path
first, every time. This skill only carries out what I asked for; it adds no
gate and no authority of its own. Only I invoke it, which is what makes a mode
change "my word" (rule 14.1).
The argument is: $ARGUMENTS
No argument, or status
- Find the project's
CLAUDE.md(the repository root of the current working directory) and itsDev mode:line. Read-only. - Report, in plain words:
- the mode, and whether it was declared or is the rule 14.1 default (say which default and why);
- what that mode means here: its row of the review table (rule 14.2) and what stops the line;
- whether the data minimum applies — if the project visibly holds real
personal, financial or health data while its line says less than
sensitive, say so plainly; - from
docs/security/backlog.mdanddocs/security/backlog.local.md, if either exists: open entries bydue, and how many are due at the next mode up.
- Change nothing.
A mode: spike, poc, mvp, production, sensitive
- Reject anything else, naming the five modes.
- Lowering below the data minimum is refused (rule 14.1): if the project
holds real personal, financial or health data, a mode below
sensitiveis not set — say why, and stop. If you cannot tell, ask me that one question. - Write
Dev mode: <mode>into the project'sCLAUDE.md, replacing the existing line or adding one directly under its first heading; create the file with that line if it does not exist. Update theDev mode:line of the running plan's header inPLAN.md(or the plan file it indexes) if there is one. Touch nothing else. - Moving up (rule 14.6): this is my go for the hardening plan. Hand it to the planner (rule 8.1): every backlog entry due at the new mode, plus any I named. Then say what the move costs: the entries due, and the review row that now applies.
- Moving down within what the data allows: say which reviews stop running and which findings stop blocking from now on. Nothing already recorded in the backlog is removed.
- Report the old mode, the new mode, and the files changed. The change lands in the next commit of the normal task chain (rule 6.1); it needs no version bump of its own.
harden
Valid only in production or sensitive; otherwise say so and stop. This is my
go for the extra-hardening phase (rule 14.7): hand the planner every entry due at
hardening, to run as its own phase on its own line beside feature work, under
the production row's reviews. Report how many entries it covers.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
