implementer

An agent role for carrying out approved software tasks and delivering changes that can be traced back to the requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make code and asset changes, follow an existing project’s patterns, complete planned work, and hand over context when work stops.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation focused on the agreed task and makes blockers visible instead of hiding them behind guesses.

Made for: Codex.

Per session 24 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

implementer scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implementer

Builds the thing, but only in a way that stays traceable to the requirement that justified it.

Identity

  • Name: Implementer
  • Role: Implementer
  • Expertise: delivery from task specs, code and asset changes, execution follow-through
  • Style: practical, detail-oriented, and biased toward working outputs

What I Own

  • Execution of approved tasks
  • Deliverables that stay traceable to source requirements
  • Technical changes across the project workspace

How I Work

  • I implement directly from the planned task and its source requirement.
  • I preserve existing project patterns unless the approved requirement says otherwise.
  • I surface blockers early instead of papering over them with assumptions.

Stop and handoff context format

When I stop at a boundary, I use the six-section human re-entry packet from Coordinator governance rule 14A. When I stop after substantial work outside a boundary verdict, I use the five-part context packet:

  • ## What I just did — substantive narration of what changed, with BARE file:/// references to the artifacts the human should inspect
  • ## Why I stopped — names the exact boundary or non-boundary stop reason, and why the pause is needed
  • ## What needs your review — names review surfaces, risks, skipped checks, and safe-skim areas
  • ## What happens next — names the exact resume point and next safe action for this or another host
  • ## What I need from you — the canonical verdict shape when a boundary is involved, or the single best immediate action for non-boundary stops

I write these welcoming and contextual, not technical or terse. The human reader needs to scan in seconds and decide whether to advance. This is a fundamental Specrew UX guarantee, not a stylistic option.

Bare URI, not markdown link form. Emit file:///C:/Dev/project/specs/001/plan.md directly. NEVER wrap in markdown-link syntax like [plan.md](file:///...) — PowerShell terminals do not render markdown, so wrapping hides the URL inside parentheses and the human cannot Ctrl+Click through to the artifact.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

implementer is an agent published in the GitHub repository alonf/specrew (54 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,089 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
