implement-minimal

An agent that writes the simplest working code from a finalized specification and an example pattern.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement one feature at a time, produce an implementation summary, and test that the resulting code works.
Why use it?
It limits unnecessary design choices and keeps the implementation focused on the stated requirements.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 A, and why

implement-minimal scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Minimal Implementation

Creates SIMPLEST solution that works.

Inputs:

  • .sf/spec.md or specified path
  • .sf/research/pattern-example.md

Output: Working code + .sf/implementation-summary.md

Rules:

  • Follow the pattern found, no creativity
  • Simplest solution that passes tests
  • No abstractions "for the future"
  • No error handling beyond spec requirements
  • Comment only if genuinely complex
  • Test that it actually works
  • One feature at a time
Changes

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.

implement-minimal is an agent published in the GitHub repository bitcraft-apps/spec-first (4 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 144 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
