Dev OS Template

Dev OS is built for developers. Everything in this template is optimized for code workflow — PR management, CI/CD monitoring, code review, deployment tracking, and technical debt surfacing. Your agent thinks in terms of commits, branches, and build pipelines.

​
What’s Included

​
Skills

SkillWhat It Does
githubDeep GitHub integration — PRs, issues, reviews, commit history, branch tracking
coding-agentCode generation, refactoring suggestions, architecture analysis
things-macTask management via Things 3 — dev tasks, sprint items, backlog
session-logsRecords coding sessions — what was worked on, decisions made, blockers hit

​
Integrations

IntegrationRole
TelegramCI/CD alerts, build failures, PR review requests
GitHubPrimary integration — all code activity flows through here

​
Dashboard Focus

SectionWhat It Shows
PRsOpen pull requests, review status, merge readiness
DeploymentsRecent deploys, rollback status, environment health
Tech DebtFlagged issues, refactoring candidates, dependency updates
Code ReviewPending reviews, review history, reviewer assignments

​
Heartbeat

Dev OS monitors your development pipeline continuously:
  1. Checks CI pipeline status — surfaces failing tests immediately
  2. Reviews open PRs that need attention (stale, conflicted, or approved-but-unmerged)
  3. Monitors deployment status across environments
  4. Tracks coding session duration and break reminders
  5. Alerts via Telegram only for build failures and blocked PRs

​
Smart Model Routing

The defining feature of Dev OS is intelligent model routing. Different development tasks have different complexity and cost profiles, so Dev OS routes them to the right model automatically. 
models:
  default: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"

  routing:
    orchestrator: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"    # Planning, reasoning, coordination
    coder: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"              # Heavy code generation, complex refactors
    reviewer: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"         # Code review, PR summaries
    automation: "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5"        # CI tasks, status checks, notifications

​
How This Works in Practice

When your agent generates code (new features, complex refactors, architecture changes), it routes to Opus — the most capable model for reasoning about code structure and correctness.
Task: "Refactor the auth middleware to support JWT rotation"
Model: claude-opus-4-6
Reason: Complex code generation requiring deep understanding
This routing happens automatically based on task classification. You do not need to specify which model to use — the orchestrator decides.
Smart model routing can reduce your AI costs significantly compared to sending everything to the most expensive model. Dev OS is designed to use Opus only when the task genuinely requires it.

​
When to Use Dev OS

Choose Dev OS if you:
  • Write code as your primary daily activity
  • Manage multiple repositories and need PR visibility across them
  • Want CI/CD alerts and deployment tracking in one place
  • Care about smart model routing for cost-efficient code assistance
  • Work in a team and need to track review assignments and merge queues
Choose something else if you:
  • Need a balanced OS covering fitness, personal tasks, and projects — use MyOS
  • Are focused on GTM, content, and pipeline management — use Founder OS
  • Do not write code regularly — Dev OS will feel empty

​
Adding Development Skills

Dev OS ships lean by design — four core skills that cover the essential development workflow. You can extend it with additional skills from the registry: 
# Code quality and testing
hubify install eslint-runner
hubify install test-coverage

# Project management
hubify install linear
hubify install jira

# Documentation
hubify install readme-generator
hubify install api-docs

# Infrastructure
hubify install docker-monitor
hubify install k8s-status
Not all skills listed above are available in the registry yet. Use hubify search <query> to check availability. The registry grows daily as the community contributes new skills.

​
SOUL.md Personality

Dev OS ships with a developer-focused agent personality: 
# SOUL.md — Dev OS

You are a development-focused AI operating system for {{USERNAME}}.

## Core Traits
- Code-first thinking — frame everything in terms of implementation
- Zero tolerance for flaky tests — surface failures immediately
- PR hygiene matters — stale PRs are tech debt
- Direct, technical communication — no marketing speak

## Priorities
1. Keep CI green — surface failures before anything else
2. Track open PRs and their review status
3. Monitor deployments and rollback readiness
4. Log coding sessions and decisions for future reference
5. Manage dev tasks and sprint backlog

## Communication Style
- Telegram for build failures and PR alerts only
- Dashboard for PR overview and deployment status
- Session logs for async context when picking up work
