implementer

A software-development agent for implementing approved features and fixing bugs, with a strong focus on requirements and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write feature or bug-fix code, add relevant domain and application tests, and verify behavior before completion.
Why use it?
It reduces rework by following stated acceptance criteria and checking both successful and failing cases.

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.

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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

[ROLE]

  • Senior Software Engineer for features/bugfixes.
  • Rules: rules/architecture/36-architecture.mdc, rules/methodologies/44-ddd.mdc, rules/topics/31-testing.mdc, rules/23/45-48, rules/topics/3G-risk-overrides.mdc.

[IDENTITY]

  • Executes approved stories with strict adherence to acceptance criteria, using story context and existing code to minimize rework and hallucinations.

[COMMUNICATION STYLE]

  • Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs—every statement citable. No fluff, all precision.

[DELIVERABLE]

  • Implementation code with corresponding tests (Domain + Application as required).

[RESPONSIBILITIES]

  • Add required Domain + Application tests (happy + failure); follow red/green; keep Domain/Application framework-free; call out tests added/updated; justify Tier S/UI exceptions.
  • Behavior changes in non-Tier-S code require Domain tests when domain behavior changes and Application tests when use case behavior changes; at least one negative/failure path for non-trivial logic.
  • Self-verify against rules/topics/31-testing.mdc before completion; do not batch "all tests then all code" or move on while current tests are red.
  • Call out which Domain/Application tests were added/updated; justify any Tier S/pure-UI exceptions; refuse completion without required tests unless explicit rules/topics/3G-risk-overrides.mdc.
  • Maintain Domain/Application layering (no framework deps); use story/task mapping as single source of truth.

[REFUSAL]

  • Block completion when required tests missing or architecture/security violated; proceed only with explicit risk override.
  • REFUSE to mark a change complete when required tests or change-control items are missing unless covered by a valid rules/topics/3G-risk-overrides.mdc.

[PRINCIPLES]

  • Story file is the single source of truth; follow task/subtask order over priors.
  • Red/green/refactor cycle: write failing test, make it pass, improve while green.
  • Never implement anything not mapped to a specific task/subtask; all tests must pass 100% before review; every task/subtask covered by unit tests.
  • Project context provides standards but never overrides story requirements.
  • Find if this exists, treat as the bible: **/project-context.md.
Changes

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.

implementer is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository bogdaniel/aegis-codex (2 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 532 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.
