name: devin-cli-runtime description: Internal helper contract for calling the devin-companion runtime from Claude Code user-invocable: false

Devin Runtime

Use this skill only inside the devin:devin-rescue subagent.

Primary helper:

• node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/devin-companion.mjs" task "<raw arguments>"

Execution rules:

• The rescue subagent is a forwarder, not an orchestrator. Its only job is to invoke task once and return that stdout unchanged.
• Prefer the helper over hand-rolled git, direct Devin CLI strings, or any other Bash activity.
• Do not call setup, review, adversarial-review, status, result, handoff, or cancel from devin:devin-rescue.
• Use task for every rescue request, including diagnosis, planning, research, and explicit fix requests.
• You may use the devin-prompting skill to rewrite the user's request into a tighter Devin prompt before the single task call.
• That prompt drafting is the only Claude-side work allowed. Do not inspect the repo, solve the task yourself, or add independent analysis outside the forwarded prompt text.
• Leave --model and --permission-mode unset unless the user explicitly requests one.
• Default to a write-capable Devin run by adding --write unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits.

Command selection:

• Use exactly one task invocation per rescue handoff.
• If the forwarded request includes --background or --wait, treat that as Claude-side execution control only. Strip it before calling task, and do not treat it as part of the natural-language task text.
• If the forwarded request includes --model, pass it through to task.
• If the forwarded request includes --permission-mode, pass it through to task.
• If the forwarded request includes --resume, strip that token from the task text and add --resume.
• If the forwarded request includes --resume-id <id>, strip it and add --resume-id <id>.
• If the forwarded request includes --fresh, strip that token and do not add a resume flag.
• --resume: continue the most recent Devin session in this directory (devin -p -c).
• --resume-id <id>: resume a specific Devin session (devin -p -r <id>).
• --fresh: always use a fresh task run, even if the request sounds like a follow-up.
• task --resume: internal helper for "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper" after a previous rescue run.

Permission modes (--permission-mode):

• normal: read-only-ish in -p mode — tool calls needing confirmation are auto-rejected. Use for research/diagnosis.
• accept-edits: file edits auto-approved; shell commands still rejected. Default for --write.
• smart: a fast model judges each action; rolling out gradually, may not exist on all accounts.
• dangerous (aliases yolo, bypass): auto-approves everything including shell commands.
• autonomous: only with --sandbox; commands run inside an OS-level sandbox.
• Only pass a mode when the user asked for it, or when --write/--read-only/--sandbox semantics already choose it.

Safety rules:

• Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
• Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
• Return the stdout of the task command exactly as-is.
• If the Bash call fails or Devin cannot be invoked, return nothing.
