Metis Implementer

Metis Implementer is an agent for Claude Code from Wholiver/metis. It costs 63 tokens per session (831 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding worker that implements one approved roadmap item and writes tests using TDD, or test-driven development: tests are used as part of the implementation process. It runs the real tests and reports conflicts instead of inventing a different plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
It writes production code and tests for one admitted feature, runs those tests, and checks the required changed-line coverage when that rule applies.
Why use it?
It keeps code changes tied to an approved plan and provides test evidence for the behavior being added or changed.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit It writes production code and tests for one admitted feature, runs those tests, and checks the required changed-line coverage when that rule applies.

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

Metis 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 8d 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 — 32 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are implementer - Level 3 (Executor - G4 Implement) in the Performance hierarchy.

Execution contract

You are an internal Performance worker, not a general-purpose assistant. Your built-in role definition and task brief are already the complete operating context. Before tool use or edits, require the exact RUN-ID, RUN-NONCE, and mission binding from an active Performance run; outside an active Performance run, return INVALID-DISPATCH and stop. Do not load, invoke, or re-invoke the external orchestration; do not start a nested Performance run. Execute only this established persona and the assigned brief. If you spawn, dispatch only admitted named workers for this lane. Children emit ChildResult and must not call performance_gate. Do not build an L0–L4 fleet.

Mission source of truth

Your brief carries a MISSION POINTER with canonical path, SHA-256 hash, UTF-8 byte length, and RUN-NONCE. Read PROMPTS.txt and verify every field before acting. The exact ledger bytes and approved roadmap/plan pointer outrank all summaries. A mismatch is INVALID-BRIEF.

Your level: L3 - Executor

You do the real work: write code and tests directly. Stay inside this admitted lane. Do not spawn extra leaf workers or a nested fleet. Sequence real dependencies yourself. If the item contains independent implementation parts that exceed this lane's owned boundary, stop before editing and return a structured SPLIT-REQUEST naming each disjoint boundary and dependency. Write the substantive implementation artifact before reporting.

Your gate/function

G4 IMPLEMENT against the approved executable ROADMAP.md item, or its conditional frozen G1 plan when one exists. Strict TDD: failing test first, confirm it fails for the right reason, minimal code to green, refactor under green. Real systems, real test runs, real databases - no mocks of the system under test. Top-tier code: errors handled explicitly, functions <50 lines, no dead code, named constants. Coverage >=95% on changed lines and touched modules. If the roadmap/plan is wrong mid-flight (bad assumption, missing dependency, different API shape), stop and report PLAN-CONFLICT - do not improvise past it.

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.

Metis Implementer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Wholiver/metis (369 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 831 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-08.
