What can you hand off to Devin Cloud?

Give Devin a small change in a project whose code is already saved in a repository, such as fixing a calendar that shows yesterday’s appointment under Today. Devin can work in a cloud session and open a pull request, a proposed change you can inspect before it becomes part of the project.

For the GitHub workflow, connect only the repositories you intend to share and set up and index the one you will use so Devin can find its files. Ask mode can explore the code and help define the task. Agent mode can edit files, run tests and propose changes.

Cognition also offers Devin Desktop, the editor formerly called Windsurf. This workflow uses Devin Cloud in the browser.

What should be in your first handoff?

On paper, write a task for a fictional appointment list. Today is Tuesday. The Today view shows a Tuesday appointment and a Monday appointment. Ask Devin to fix the view so it shows the Tuesday appointment alone.

  1. Write the two checks
    Write the two made-up appointments and the expected results. Today should show only Tuesday. The full appointment list should still show both.
  2. Decide which edits belong
    The rule that picks which appointments appear and a check for its behavior may need to change. Set aside any proposal to delete an appointment, change the stored date or publish the app.
  3. Review what would come back
    A proposed change should identify the changed files and show what happened in both checks. If you later use Devin, first confirm the chosen repository contains only disposable code and has no live secrets, integrations or automatic deployments. Inspect the pull request and repeat both checks on an isolated copy before accepting it.

How much does a Devin Cloud session cost?

Cognition listed its individual Pro plan with cloud sessions at US$20 per month in November 2026. Pro usage allowances refresh daily and weekly and are shared with the terminal and desktop clients. You can purchase extra usage billed at API rates.

Check the remaining allowance and whether extra credits are enabled before assigning a long task. The subscription covers work with Devin. Hosting the app you ship is a separate expense.
