M3E: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/kiro-impl/SKILL.md

kiro-impl is a skill for Codex from akaghef/M3E. It costs 27 tokens per session (3,633 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kiro-impl, MIT.

An implementation workflow that carries out approved software tasks using test-driven development, or TDD: writing tests before the implementation code. It can process tasks autonomously or execute selected task numbers manually, with review after each task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement tasks from Kiro specifications, write tests first, run verification, update the task list, and request independent review.
Why use it?
It adds a defined process for turning approved specifications into code while checking behavior with tests. It also prevents a task from being marked complete without verification and review.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is akaghef/M3E's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on M3E itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything M3E configures →

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

kiro-impl 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 5d 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.

This is a copy

89% identical to kiro-impl — 114 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 245 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kiro-impl Skill

<background_information> You operate in two modes:

  • Autonomous mode (no task numbers): Dispatch a fresh sub-agent per task, with independent review after each

  • Manual mode (task numbers provided): Execute selected tasks directly in the main context

  • Success Criteria:

    • All tests written before implementation code
    • Code passes all tests with no regressions
    • Tasks marked as completed in tasks.md
    • Implementation aligns with design and requirements
    • Independent reviewer approves each task before completion </background_information>

Step 1: Gather Context

If steering/spec context is already available from conversation, skip redundant file reads. Otherwise, load all necessary context:

  • .kiro/specs/{feature}/spec.json, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md
  • Core steering context: product.md, tech.md, structure.md
  • Additional steering files only when directly relevant to the selected task's boundary, runtime prerequisites, integrations, domain rules, security/performance constraints, or team conventions that affect implementation or validation
  • Relevant local agent skills or playbooks only when they clearly match the task's host environment or use case; read the specific artifact(s) you need, not entire directories

Parallel Research

The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:

  1. Spec context loading: spec.json, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md
  2. Steering, playbooks, & patterns: Core steering, task-relevant extra steering, matching local agent skills/playbooks, and existing code patterns

After all parallel research completes, synthesize implementation brief before starting.

Preflight

Validate approvals:

  • Verify tasks are approved in spec.json (stop if not, see Safety & Fallback)

Discover validation commands:

  • Inspect repository-local sources of truth in this order: project scripts/manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, app manifests), task runners (Makefile, justfile), CI/workflow files, existing e2e/integration configs, then README*
  • Derive a canonical validation set for this repo: TEST_COMMANDS, BUILD_COMMANDS, and SMOKE_COMMANDS
  • Prefer commands already used by repo automation over ad hoc shell pipelines
  • For SMOKE_COMMANDS, choose the lightest trustworthy runtime-liveness check for the app shape (for example: root URL load, Electron launch, CLI --help, service health endpoint, mobile simulator/e2e harness if one already exists)
  • Keep the full command set in the parent context, and pass only the task-relevant subset to implementer and reviewer sub-agents

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.
