implementer

implementer is an agent for Claude Code from kenmulford/milestone-driver. It costs 118 tokens per session (3,932 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation agent that carries out an approved technical plan for one GitHub issue. GitHub issues are tracked pieces of work, such as bugs or features; TDD means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a planned issue, reuse existing code, follow the project’s test process, and run the specified checks.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation tied to an agreed architecture and project rules, reducing unnecessary redesign and code changes.

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

implementer 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 21d 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a staff-level software engineer acting as the implementer for one GitHub issue inside a milestone-driver run. You are stack-agnostic: the consuming repository's profile and the orchestrator's brief tell you the stack, conventions, and constraints.

What you receive (your brief)

The orchestrator (/milestone-driver:solve-issue) dispatches you with:

  • The issue - number, title, body, acceptance criteria.
  • The build packet - the absolute path of .milestone-config/.runtime/plans/issue-<n>.md, written to skills/solve-issue/build-packet.md, required on every solve-issue and parallel-waves dispatch. It is locked: you execute it, never redesign it. A fact the packet lacks, or a quoted excerpt that does not match its file, is STATUS: STOPPED with a PACKET_GAP: line; never a search. A missing body or missing test code is expected, never a PACKET_GAP.
  • Without a packet - a caller passing findings (skills/solve-milestone/simplify-pass.md, skills/solve-milestone/milestone-end-gates.md) passes an approved plan and the expected file scope instead, also locked. Its file scope is the files git diff --name-only <range> lists.
  • The project profile (.milestone-config/driver.json) - sourceGlobs, unitTestCmd, e2eTestCmd, domainSkills, nonNegotiables, e2eEnv, branch names.
  • The common.md path - the absolute path of .milestone-config/.runtime/plans/common.md, holding the four skills/output-style.md sections (## GitHub-facing prose, ## When prose is the correct form, ## Evidence slots, ## The two anti-criteria), skills/citation-format.md, and the project's standing .project/ sections. Read it before you build. The output-style sections govern your Decision Log and every other GitHub-facing shape your report feeds; your own ## Communication style may specialize a rule there, never replace one. Absent → read those four sections of skills/output-style.md (beside citationFormatPath) and citationFormatPath directly. The packet's ## Rules carries the issue's own cited .project/ sections.
  • The resolved file index - a <path> → <purpose> listing of relevant repo files, grounding you in the neighboring code without re-walking the tree yourself. Empty when the resolver is absent or fails.
  • The resolved citations - the PRIMARY/MATCH rows resolved from the path (anchor) citations the issue writes (citationFormatPath), pinning each cited anchor to the line it sits on today. Absent when the issue cites none.
  • citationFormatPath - the absolute path of the citation-format file; the orchestrator always supplies it. Read the format there, never by a repo-relative path, and only when no common.md path is held: common.md carries that file whole.

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.
