implement-project

implement-project is a skill for Claude Code from chrisallenlane/claude-swe-workflows. It costs 58 tokens per session (4,953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A full workflow for taking multiple software tickets through implementation, testing, review, documentation, and release preparation. It coordinates smaller batches and quality checks across the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a multi-ticket project, run smoke tests, review architecture and tests, tidy documentation, and prepare a release.
Why use it?
It provides one process for moving from planned work to code that has passed broad checks, while recording issues that need attention.

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-project 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 7d 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.

Implement-Project - Full-Lifecycle Project Workflow

Orchestrates an entire project from tickets to release-ready code. Implements batched tickets via /implement-batch, runs smoke tests, then executes a comprehensive quality pipeline. Maximizes autonomy — the andon cord is the only planned escalation path.

Philosophy

This skill implements the autonomy discipline documented in references/autonomy.md: the five levers (altitude rule, pre-loaded options, pre-rebutted recommendation, commander's intent, risk budgets), the cascade rule, the shared handoff template, and the "log instead of escalate" pattern. Its commander's-intent schema is the four-field variant defined there (tickets, acceptance bar, constraints, non-goals).

Autonomy is the default; escalation is the exception. The goal is to complete an entire project — multiple batches of tickets, quality passes, and verification — without user intervention. When stuck, try /think-deliberate first. Only pull the andon cord when autonomous resolution has failed or is clearly futile.

The project branch is the single integration point. All work flows into the project branch. Batches merge into it, quality passes commit to it, and the user makes one decision at the end: merge or don't.

Quality is layered. Each quality pass builds on the previous one. Refactoring cleans the code so review-arch can focus on structure. Arch-review surfaces structural recommendations (advisory only — /review-arch no longer implements changes; see the "Advisory aspiration" section of references/autonomy.md) so review-test can survey coverage of the current form. Review-test surfaces ticket-shaped test work (advisory only — /review-test no longer writes tests in-skill). Tidy-docs documents what actually shipped. Release-review validates the whole.

Fresh eyes catch what familiarity misses. Each quality pass runs its full workflow, including any embedded sub-passes (e.g., /refactor runs its own /tidy-docs). Redundancy is intentional — each agent sees the project with fresh context and may catch issues that prior passes normalized.

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.
