incremental-implementation

incremental-implementation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aneja5/forge-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Use when .forge/tasks.yaml exists and implementation is starting, when executing a planned task list one task at a time, when a feature must ship in independently-verifiable slices, or when contracts in .forge/contracts/ need to be implemented against acceptance criteria.

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

incremental-implementation 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Incremental Implementation

Overview

Pick the next ready task from .forge/tasks.yaml, load its contracts from .forge/contracts/, implement using tdd discipline (red-green-refactor), verify against acceptance criteria, commit, and mark done. Repeat until all tasks are complete.

When to Use

  • .forge/tasks.yaml exists with at least one unstarted task
  • Dependencies for the next task are complete
  • Ready to write code (not planning, not designing)

When NOT to Use

  • No task plan exists — run planning-and-task-breakdown first
  • Architecture is unclear — run architecture-and-contracts first
  • Task is XL and not decomposed — spike first, then plan

Common Rationalizations

Thought Reality
"I'll implement a few tasks together to go faster" Mixing tasks blurs acceptance criteria and commit history
"I don't need to read the contract — I know the interface" Contracts encode invariants and error types you'll miss
"I'll write tests after the implementation is working" Then you're testing implementation, not behavior
"This small extra thing is obviously correct to add" Scope creep is always "obviously correct" in the moment
"I'll commit everything at the end" Atomic commits per task make revert and review tractable

Red Flags

  • Implementing a task that has unsatisfied dependencies in tasks.yaml
  • Writing code that touches modules not listed in the task's files_likely_affected
  • Skipping the contract read — implementing to an assumed interface
  • Committing with a message that doesn't reference the task ID
  • Acceptance criteria not verifiable after implementation
  • Task marked done before verification step passes
  • .forge/tasks.yaml not updated mid-flight when a task is split or blocked (the plan diverges silently)
  • Editing .forge/contracts/<X>.md inline when build reveals the contract is wrong (file /feedback instead)
  • Skipping skills: tag reads — implementing UI without loading design-system, writing migrations without loading database-design

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.

incremental-implementation is a skill published in the GitHub repository aneja5/forge-skills (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,598 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
