prospec-implement

An implementation workflow that reads an ordered task list and carries out the tasks one by one. Each finished task is immediately marked in tasks.md, the file holding the work list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start coding from an existing task list and track completed implementation work. It is intended for feature development and other planned code changes.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation progress visible and preserves the intended task order. It also uses the Prospec command-line program for its defined changes.

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

prospec-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 2d 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 — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prospec Implement Skill

Activation

When triggered, briefly describe:

  • That you'll read tasks.md and execute tasks in order
  • Knowledge will be loaded progressively as needed
  • Each completed task will be immediately marked in tasks.md

CLI Prerequisite (required)

The prospec CLI is a required file for this skill — its deterministic steps call prospec commands. Probe BEFORE any other step; there is no manual fallback.

  1. Run prospec --version (Bash).
  2. Command not found / not executable → STOP. Ask the user to install the prospec standalone executable — the one-click installer script from the project README (macOS/Linux install.sh, Windows install.ps1) or a release binary from GitHub Releases; prospec is NOT published to npm. Then re-run this skill.
  3. Version older than 1.0.0 → STOP. Report the installed vs required version and ask the user to upgrade, then re-run this skill.

Hand-executing a CLI-owned mutation is NEVER the fallback — that re-introduces the nondeterministic serialization this contract exists to remove.

Startup Loading

  1. [STABLE] MANDATORY — Read references/implementation-guide.md for implementation guidelines
  2. [STABLE] MANDATORY — Read prospec/ai-knowledge/_conventions.md — follow the project's own conventions
  3. [DYNAMIC] Read .prospec/changes/[name]/tasks.md — find the first uncompleted task
  4. [DYNAMIC] Read .prospec/changes/[name]/plan.md — understand design intent
  5. [DYNAMIC] Read .prospec/changes/[name]/delta-spec.md — understand file specifications
  6. [DYNAMIC] Read prospec/ai-knowledge/_playbook.md (if present) — load relevant team lessons for the modules this change touches (progressive disclosure; skip unrelated entries)

Do NOT load all module AI Knowledge at once — load L2 per-module when starting a task (each README and any linked {sub-module}.md: APIs, modification patterns, ripple effects), following prospec/index.md's Progressive Knowledge Loading Strategy (the canonical layer/budget table). (plan/delta-spec absent for scale: quick by contract — proposal.md is the spec source.)

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

Subscribe to this mod's changes

prospec-implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository benwu95/prospec (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,057 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 2026-08-31.
