implement

implement is a command for Claude Code from shashankreddy509/claude-tdd-kit. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts a build coordinator to carry out an approved software plan using TDD, or test-driven development: writing tests as part of the implementation process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute the most recent approved plan, or a plan for a specified ticket, through the project's full TDD workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents coding from starting without a saved plan that has passed the required approval check.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

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 9d 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spawn the build-coordinator agent to execute the full TDD pipeline against an approved plan.

Plan path: $ARGUMENTS

Precondition: an approved plan file must exist at tasks/plans/<TICKET>_plan.md.

  • If a path is given in $ARGUMENTS, use it.
  • If none is given, default to the most recently modified tasks/plans/*_plan.md.
  • If no such file exists → STOP and tell the user to run this plugin's build command first and approve a plan.
  • State which plan file you resolved; if the user named a ticket and the resolved file doesn't match it, STOP and ask.

Approval gate (optional hook — only if $PLAN_GATE_CMD is set; otherwise skip silently)

A plan FILE is not an approval. Read the command once with printenv PLAN_GATE_CMD; call its output <gate> and type it out as a literal line, never through eval (worktree isolation refuses an evaled command). Run <gate> check <resolved-plan-path> (prints approve/revise/discard/unanswered for this exact file version): approve → proceed; discard → STOP, never build a discarded plan; revise → STOP until the plan is rewritten; unanswered → ask via AskUserQuestion ("Build this plan?" — Approve / Cancel) and run <gate> record <resolved-plan-path> approve|discard (Cancel → discard and STOP).

Step 0 — Move Jira ticket to "In Progress" (if a ticket is in scope)

Before spawning the build-coordinator, derive the Jira ticket key from the resolved plan file (e.g. <KEY> from tasks/plans/<KEY>_plan.md).

  • If a key is present, resolve the Jira MCP dialect FIRST — see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/jira-mcp.md. It returns the tool names to use and whether cloudId is a parameter on this machine. No Atlassian MCP resolved → log the skip line from that file and proceed to the build; the pipeline does not depend on Jira.
  • Look up the ticket's available transitions with the resolved list transitions tool.
  • Find the transition whose to.name is exactly "In Progress" (a Jira convention, not a per-project id). If no such transition exists, log a one-line note (": no 'In Progress' transition in this project's workflow — skipping") and proceed. Do not break the pipeline on Jira weirdness.
  • Apply it with the resolved transition tool, passing that id.
  • On a 400, read the error body: "transition not available/valid from the current status" means the ticket is already in or past In Progress — log the no-op and proceed. Any OTHER error (auth, permissions, project misconfig) → log a one-line warning with the error text and proceed. The pipeline must not depend on Jira being available.
  • If no ticket key can be derived from the plan filename, skip this step silently.
  • Log what you did, e.g. "📋 Moved → In Progress" or "📋 already past In Progress, no transition needed".

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.

implement is a command published in the GitHub repository shashankreddy509/claude-tdd-kit (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,148 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
