implement-issue

implement-issue is a skill for Claude Code from alexmond/alexmskills. It costs 69 tokens per session (593 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for taking a GitHub issue—a tracked request or bug report—from understanding to a proposed code change. It creates a branch, implements the issue, checks the project, and opens a pull request for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or fix a numbered GitHub issue, adapt to the repository's language and build tools, run its checks, commit and push the changes, and open a pull request.
Why use it?
It gives issue-based work a consistent path and reduces the chance of coding before the requirements are understood or skipping build and test checks.

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-issue 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex: Read the client path before applying this workflow.

Implement GitHub issue #$ARGUMENTS

Try it: /implement-issue:implement-issue 42 — invoke explicitly with the issue number (model auto-invocation is disabled).

Follow this workflow for every code change. It is independent of language and build tool — adapt the build and test commands to whatever the project uses.

Step 1: Read the issue

gh issue view $ARGUMENTS

Understand the requirements before writing any code. If the issue is ambiguous, note your assumptions.

Step 2: Create a feature branch

git checkout main
git pull
git checkout -b feature/$ARGUMENTS-<short-description>

Use a concise, hyphenated <short-description> derived from the issue title.

Step 3: Implement the changes

  • Read relevant source files before making modifications.
  • Follow the project's existing coding standards and conventions (formatting, language version, libraries already in use).
  • Keep changes focused on the issue requirements — avoid unrelated refactors.

Step 4: Build and run tests

Run the project's build and test commands. Discover them from the repo rather than assuming a specific tool — for example a Maven project might use ./mvnw test, but other projects use Gradle, npm, pytest, go test, etc.

Fix any failures before proceeding.

Step 5: Commit and push

git add <changed-files>
git commit -m "<descriptive message>

Closes #$ARGUMENTS

Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>"
git push -u origin HEAD

Step 6: Create the pull request

gh pr create --title "<concise title>" --body "## Summary
<bullet points of what changed and why>

## Test plan
<how to verify the change>

Closes #$ARGUMENTS

Git safety

  • Never force-push (git push --force) or delete branches without explicit confirmation from the user.
  • Push to the feature branch only; do not push directly to main.

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.
