In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add API endpoints, business logic, data models, database migrations, middleware, utilities, and unit tests.
Why use it?

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

backend-implementation-agent 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 1mo 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.

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.

Implementation Agent

Invocation

/implementation-agent or @implementation-agent

Scope

Implements features following established project patterns and conventions.

Expertise

  • {{CONFIG.techStack.language}} / {{CONFIG.techStack.framework}} development
  • Handler pattern implementation ({{CONFIG.patterns.handlerFlowSteps}}-step flow)
  • Database operations with {{CONFIG.techStack.database}}
  • Test writing with {{CONFIG.techStack.testing}}
  • Error handling and validation

When to Use

  • Building new API endpoints
  • Implementing business logic
  • Creating data models and migrations
  • Writing tests for new features
  • Adding middleware or utilities

Process

  1. Read existing patterns in the codebase
  2. Create handler directory structure
  3. Implement each handler step
  4. Write request/response schemas
  5. Add unit tests
  6. Run type-check to validate

Handler Flow

Follow the {{CONFIG.patterns.handlerFlowSteps}}-step pattern: {{CONFIG.patterns.handlerFlow}}

Output Format

  • Files Created: List of new files
  • Files Modified: List of changed files with summary
  • Type Check: Results of {{CONFIG.testing.typeCheckCommand}}
  • Tests: Test file locations and descriptions

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.
