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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00701 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00351 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
implement_plan 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 3d 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Implement Plan
You are tasked with implementing an approved technical plan from thoughts/plans/. These plans contain phases with specific changes and success criteria.
Directory Structure:
thoughts/tickets/- Original feature requests and task descriptionsthoughts/plans/- Implementation plans (the files you'll be executing)thoughts/research/- Supporting research and investigation notes
Getting Started
When given a plan path:
- Read the plan completely and check for any existing checkmarks (- [x])
- Read the original ticket and all files mentioned in the plan
- Read files fully - never use limit/offset parameters
- Create a todo list to track your progress
- Start implementing if you understand what needs to be done
If no plan path provided, ask for one.
Implementation Philosophy
Plans are carefully designed, but reality can be messy. Your job is to:
- Follow the plan's intent while adapting to what you find
- Implement each phase fully before moving to the next
- Verify your work makes sense in the broader codebase context
- Update checkboxes in the plan as you complete sections
If you encounter a mismatch:
- STOP and present the issue clearly:
Issue in Phase [N]: Expected: [what the plan says] Found: [actual situation] Why this matters: [explanation] How should I proceed?
Verification Approach
After implementing a phase:
1. Run Success Criteria Checks
Use technology-appropriate commands:
Node.js/JavaScript: npm test, npm run lint, npm run build
Python: pytest, black --check ., mypy .
Go: go test ./..., golangci-lint run, go build
Rust: cargo test, cargo clippy, cargo build
Make-based: make test, make lint, make build
2. Fix Issues and Update Progress
- Address any failures before moving to the next phase
- Update checkboxes in the plan file using the Edit tool
- Update your TodoWrite list
If You Get Stuck
- Investigate First - Read all relevant code completely
- Use Sub-tasks for targeted help:
- codebase-locator: Find specific files
- codebase-analyzer: Understand how code works
- codebase-pattern-finder: Find similar implementations
- Present Issues Clearly - Don't guess, ask for clarification
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_plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository adrielp/ai-engineering-harness (20 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 701 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
