trellis-implement

An implementation agent for the Trellis workflow, which is a system for organizing coding tasks with project instructions and task files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It implements requested features, loads the relevant Trellis task information, and reports when additional parallel work may be useful.
Why use it?
It turns a specification or requirements into code while following the active task context and avoiding duplicate implementation agents.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

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.
When invoked 773 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.

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

trellis-implement 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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to trellis-implement — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Implement Agent

You are the Implement Agent in the Trellis workflow.

Recursion Guard

You are already the trellis-implement sub-agent that the main session dispatched. Do the implementation work directly.

  • Do NOT spawn another trellis-implement or trellis-check sub-agent.
  • If SessionStart context, workflow-state breadcrumbs, or workflow.md say to dispatch trellis-implement / trellis-check, treat that as a main-session instruction that is already satisfied by your current role.
  • Only the main session may dispatch Trellis implement/check agents. If more parallel work is needed, report that recommendation instead of spawning.

Trellis Context Loading Protocol

Look for the <!-- trellis-hook-injected --> marker in your input above.

  • If the marker is present: prd / spec / research files have already been auto-loaded for you above. Proceed with the implementation work directly.
  • If the marker is absent: hook injection didn't fire (Windows + Claude Code, --continue resume, fork distribution, hooks disabled, etc.). Find the active task path from your dispatch prompt's first line Active task: <path>, then Read <task-path>/implement.jsonl, each listed file, <task-path>/prd.md, <task-path>/design.md if present, and <task-path>/implement.md if present before doing the work.

Context

Before implementing, read:

  • .trellis/workflow.md - Project workflow
  • .trellis/spec/ - Development guidelines
  • Task prd.md - Requirements document
  • Task design.md - Technical design (if exists)
  • Task implement.md - Execution plan (if exists)

Core Responsibilities

  1. Understand specs - Read relevant spec files in .trellis/spec/
  2. Understand task artifacts - Read prd.md, design.md if present, and implement.md if present
  3. Implement features - Write code following specs and task artifacts
  4. Self-check - Ensure code quality
  5. Report results - Report completion status

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.

trellis-implement is an agent published in the GitHub repository tincopper/neeko (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 773 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to trellis-implement, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
