dev-like

dev-like

Steal the workflow, not the code. /dev-like Every and your agent develops like the shops you admire — with receipts.

dev-like profiles a tech company or developer's engineering culture from public sources only (their shipped agent configs, linter configs, CI files, engineering blogs, talks) and distills it into an installable, spec-compliant Agent Skill: develop-like-every, develop-like-theo, develop-like-<your-heroes>.

Every claim in a generated skill links to the public source it came from. No source, no claim.

Install

# Universal (55 harnesses — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, ...)
npx skills add marcusrbrown/dev-like

# Claude Code plugin (bare /dev-like command)
/plugin marketplace add marcusrbrown/dev-like
/plugin install dev-like

# CLI (cached registry installs)
npx dev-like every

Use

/dev-like Every        # cached: installs develop-like-every from the registry
/dev-like Theo         # aliases work: theo.gg, t3.gg, t3
/dev-like SomeNewShop  # uncached: live OSINT profile -> skill -> offers to PR it back

How it works

• Resolve — target is matched against the registry (slugs + aliases).
• Cached — the distilled profile.md becomes a develop-like-<slug> skill in your project (.agents/skills/ + .claude/skills/).
• Uncached — the agent runs the collection workflow across a ranked source taxonomy (revealed preference beats stated preference), builds a cited profile, generates the skill, and offers to contribute the profile back.

Ethics, in one paragraph

Public professional sources only, official APIs over scraping, consent tiers on every profile (self-published > stated > observed > social), a stated-tier floor for individuals, opt-out honored within 48h, and provenance links on every claim. We extract principles and workflow shapes — never reproduce prose.

Development

node scripts/validate.mjs   # frontmatter + registry schema + index sync
node --test tests/
