Apex Dev Skills

Register Apex’s eight-plugin suite to interview, scope, scaffold, and loop governed greenfield work across TS, Python, Go, and Rust.

Overview

apex-dev-skills is a plugin marketplace for the Validate phase that interviews, scopes, and scaffolds governed greenfield projects with an eight-plugin Apex suite.

What is this marketplace?

  • 8-plugin marketplace: greenfield init, scope loop, planning, and orchestration under Apex Insights paved-road defaults
  • apex-project-start interviews intent, researches context, scaffolds governed repos, provisions ruflo + suite, verifies b
  • apex-scope-loop delivers Decide → plan → loop with SPARC-shaped ADRs and phase orchestration
  • Generated projects steered to build features via apex-plan / apex-loop rather than one-shot codegen
  • Multi-runtime support: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust
  • 8 plugins in marketplace
  • 4 language families: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust
  • apex-project-start verifies repo before first commit

Compatible agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, any compatible agent

Community signal: 1 GitHub stars.

What problem does it solve?

Solo founders often start agent-assisted repos without ADRs, paved-road defaults, or a verified loop from idea to first shippable feature.

Who is it for?

Builders kicking off a new SaaS, API, or agent-backed product who want governance and orchestration baked in from commit zero.

Skip if: Quick patches on brownfield legacy repos or teams that only need a single integration skill with no greenfield ceremony.

What do I get? / Deliverables

After registration you get interview-led scaffolding, SPARC-shaped planning loops, and a provisioned skill suite that routes feature work through apex-plan and apex-loop.

  • Governed repo scaffold with suite provisioning
  • SPARC-shaped ADRs and scope-loop workflow
  • Verified bootstrap ready for apex-plan / apex-loop feature builds

Plugins in this marketplace

8 plugins — install individually after you add the marketplace.

PluginVersion
Apex Project StartInterview-first greenfield project initializer: opens with 'what are you trying to build?', researches the context, then scaffolds a fully-governed repo (paved-road defaults), provisions ruflo + the Apex-Dev-Skills suite, and verifies it before the first commit. Generated projects are steered to build features via apex-plan/apex-loop. Supports TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust.Apex Scope LoopDecide -> plan -> loop: SPARC-shaped ADR + phased plan authoring, with autonomous /loop + /schedule execution and per-phase swarm dispatch.Apex GuardrailsDeterministic runtime guardrails via PreToolUse hooks: hard-block edits to sensitive paths, deny destructive bash, scan tool inputs for secrets, and compile a declarative YAML policy into enforced matcher config.Apex Agent TeamAgent-team coordination tooling: TeamLint statically audits subagent/agent-team config before a run, and ContextBudget hooks warn before compaction silently drops critical state.Apex Legacy ComprehensionUnderstand and safely change legacy or AI-generated code: pin current behavior with characterization tests before refactoring, and build a living system map of an unfamiliar codebase in an isolated subagent context.Apex Contracts ReliabilityTool-contract validation + runtime reliability: a PostToolUse ledger that infers per-tool schemas and flags contract drift, plus FlakeGuard detection of non-deterministic agent failures (retries, partial failures, flaky tools).Apex Agent ObservabilityTrace, replay, and cost-attribute multi-agent runs: hook-driven JSONL AgentTrace, deterministic OrchestrationReplay, and per-subagent TokenLens — pure artifacts, with an optional read-only MCP dashboard server.Apex Rag MemoryDiagnose RAG/embedding/memory lifecycle health: audit chunking, detect embedding-model drift, find stale vectors, and regression-test retrieval recall with a golden Q/A harness. Not a vendor connector — it diagnoses retrieval quality.

Recommended Marketplaces

Journey fit

Primary fit

Validate / scope is the canonical shelf because Decide → plan → loop and ADR-first flow land before heavy implementation. Scope captures SPARC planning, swarm orchestration, and narrowing what to build before apex-loop execution takes over.

How it compares

Governed greenfield marketplace and planning loop, not a lone MCP connector or UI component pack.

Common Questions / FAQ

Who is Apex Dev Skills for?

It is for indie and small-team builders using Claude Code who want paved-road repo setup plus ADR-driven scope loops on new TypeScript, Python, Go, or Rust projects.

When should I use Apex Dev Skills?

Use it at project kickoff when you need interviewed scope, verified scaffolding, and a repeatable plan-build loop before writing production features.

How do I add Apex Dev Skills to my agent?

Add the Skobyn/Apex-Dev-Skills marketplace in Claude Code, enable apex-project-start for bootstrap and apex-scope-loop for planning, then follow generated pointers to apex-plan and apex-loop.
