implement

implement is a skill for Claude Code from Abilityai/abilities. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-to-end feature implementation workflow that starts from a requirement, issue, or description and changes the source code. It also creates and runs tests and updates documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a feature from a requirements file, GitHub issue, or inline description, including the related code, tests, and documentation.
Why use it?
It brings implementation steps into one process instead of leaving requirements, coding, testing, and documentation disconnected. It also encourages changes that follow the project's existing patterns.

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 1mo 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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Feature

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. implement vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

End-to-end feature implementation from requirements to tested, documented code.

Purpose

Autonomously implement features by:

  1. Parsing requirements from file, GitHub issue, or inline description
  2. Understanding existing patterns via feature flows
  3. Implementing with minimal necessary changes
  4. Creating and running tests
  5. Updating documentation

State Dependencies

Source Location Read Write Description
Requirements docs/requirements/*.md ✅ Feature specs
GitHub Issues GitHub repo ✅ Issue details
Feature Flows docs/memory/feature-flows/ ✅ Existing patterns
Architecture docs/memory/architecture.md ✅ System design
Source Code src/ ✅ ✅ Implementation
Tests tests/ ✅ ✅ Test files

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS:
    • File path: docs/requirements/MY_FEATURE.md
    • Issue number: #42 or 42
    • Inline description: "Add endpoint for X that does Y"

Process

Step 1: Parse Requirements

If file path provided: Read and parse the requirements document.

If issue number provided:

gh issue view ${ARGUMENTS#\#} --json title,body,labels

If inline description: Use the provided description directly as requirements.

Extract:

  • Feature name/ID
  • Core requirements (what must be built)
  • Acceptance criteria (how to verify it works)
  • Related features/flows (what to study first)

Step 2: Study Existing Patterns

Read relevant feature flows to understand existing patterns. Based on requirements, identify 2-4 related flows and read them.

Also read:

  • docs/memory/architecture.md - for system context
  • CLAUDE.md - for development rules

Step 3: Plan Implementation

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.

implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (12 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,164 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-07.
