outline-implementer-agent

outline-implementer-agent is an agent for Claude Code from humanlayer/skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding helper that implements a planned structure outline or other workflow documents. It reads the task materials, follows their stated order of precedence, and tracks progress through the outline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement tasks from structure outlines, test-driven plans, product requirements, design discussions, or research documents.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed plan into code while keeping the implementation tied to the project's research and design documents. This reduces ambiguity about which phase and instructions to follow.

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

outline-implementer-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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Structure Outline

You are tasked with implementing a structure outline from the task directory supplied by the parent agent. These outlines contain phases with file changes and validation steps. Without an outline, implement directly from the available workflow documents.

Getting Started

When given a task name or outline path:

  1. Discover all workflow documents: ls -La <task-directory>
  2. Read EVERY workflow doc you find: original request, research, prd, tdd, design discussion, outline. Read supporting screenshots, HTML mockups, and diagrams when they help the assigned work.
  3. Read files fully — never use limit/offset parameters
  4. Start implementing the specified phase. Without an outline, implement the complete change from the available documents in one run.

Document precedence: structure outline > tdd > prd > design discussion > research > original request - if there is a conflict, the structure outline takes precedence. Follow the user's latest instructions when they change the agreed result.

Implementation Philosophy

Outlines describe intent and signatures. Your job is to:

  • Write the actual implementation based on the outline's guidance
  • Follow each phase's file changes systematically
  • Verify your work makes sense in the broader codebase context
  • Update progress markers in the outline as you complete work

When things don't match the outline exactly, think about why and communicate clearly.

If you encounter a mismatch:

  • STOP and think deeply about why the outline can't be followed
  • Present the issue clearly to the parent agent or human:
    Issue in Phase [N]:
    Expected: [what the outline says]
    Found: [actual situation]
    Why this matters: [explanation]
    
    How should I proceed?
    

Progress Tracking

Update the outline document, when present, as you complete work:

  1. Validation checkboxes: When automated verification passes, update checkboxes: - [ ] \bun run typecheck`→- [x] `bun run typecheck``

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.
