Dvader Skills

Vader mind. Small words. Builder heart.

Your coding agent writes status like it gets paid by the paragraph. Dvader makes it stop. Facts stay exact. Mouth gets small. Proof comes before Work done.

See It

Normal agent:

The authentication middleware is rejecting valid sessions because the token expiry check uses the wrong comparison operator. Change the boundary check and run the authentication test suite.

Dvader:

(Hhh-Perrr...) Auth gate wrong. Expiry check kills valid session. Fix boundary. Run auth test.

Same diagnosis. Same fix. Same proof step. Only filler died.

Code, commands, file paths, API names, exact errors, and security warnings never get compressed away. Only the prose around them shrinks.

Install

One package. Eighteen skills. One benchmark tokenizer dependency.

npx dvader-skills

Target a specific agent:

npx dvader-skills -t codex
npx dvader-skills -t claude
npx dvader-skills -t opencode

Install everywhere the package knows:

npx dvader-skills -t all

Preview first:

npx dvader-skills --dry-run -t all

Remove:

npx dvader-skills remove

Default target: ~/.agents/skills.

Known targets: agents, opencode, opencode-config, claude, codex, all, universal.

Numbers

The public benchmark uses rough whitespace token counts across 16 coding-agent report tasks.

Run it:

npm run bench:tokens
npm run bench:gpt

Current result:

| Task | Normal | Dvader | Saved | |---|---:|---:|---:| | React re-render diagnosis | 57 | 8 | 86% | | Auth middleware expiry fix | 42 | 9 | 79% | | PostgreSQL pool setup | 42 | 6 | 86% | | PR review finding | 42 | 8 | 81% | | Docker multi-stage build | 41 | 8 | 80% | | Race condition debug | 43 | 9 | 79% | | Commit message | 43 | 5 | 88% | | Test strategy | 44 | 9 | 80% | | Benchmark instruction | 42 | 10 | 76% | | Done report | 38 | 6 | 84% | | TypeScript narrowing bug | 43 | 6 | 86% | | API pagination fix | 42 | 8 | 81% | | Cache invalidation report | 42 | 9 | 79% | | CLI error handling | 42 | 9 | 79% | | Accessibility review | 44 | 9 | 80% | | Release checklist | 38 | 11 | 71% | | Average | 685 | 130 | 81% |

Measured average: 81% fewer rough output tokens across 16 report-style coding tasks. GPT-tokenizer check: 73% fewer tokens on the same fixture.

The headline stays conservative: up to 80% fewer output tokens on report-style replies. The 81% rough-token average is real, but tokenizer choice matters, so the public promise stays capped.

This is not a billing calculator. Input tokens, model reasoning, tool payloads, and skill text overhead still matter.

Skills

Most days need the daily core:

| Skill | Job | |---|---| | dvader-do | State, step, proof, next. | | dvader-build | Smallest working diff. | | dvader-hunt | Repro, trace, root cause, proof. | | dvader-test | Smallest runnable check. | | dvader-verify | No Work done without proof. | | dvader-review | Findings first, file:line, severity. Includes thermonuclear structural review mode. |

Full suite:

| Skill | Job | |---|---| | dvader | Base voice and discipline. | | dvader-short | Compression gears: order, guard, master, kill. | | dvader-audit | Repo-wide bloat scan. | | dvader-bench | Measure before optimizing. | | dvader-commit | Terse Conventional Commits. | | dvader-compress | Compress memory files, preserve code. | | dvader-debt | Harvest deferred shortcut markers. | | dvader-explain | Full-prose teaching mode. | | dvader-help | One-page reference. | | dvader-security | Threat scan with full grammar. | | dvader-ship | Branch, commit, push, PR, verify. | | dvader-stats | Honest usage caveats. |

Rules That Never Bend

• Never drop not, no, never, or only.
• Keep numbers, paths, commands, code, API names, and exact errors.
• Use full clear grammar for security, money, legal, data-loss, and irreversible actions.
• Add words back when compression hides order, cause, owner, amount, risk, or proof.
