implement-full-spec

implement-full-spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from donnfelker/loop-skills. It costs 196 tokens per session (3,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a large parent ticket, audit, or design document into separate pull requests and taking each one through review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when every actionable finding must become its own stacked pull request and be driven through development, testing, and review.
Why use it?
It organizes many related fixes and ensures review comments are handled before the changes are ready to merge.

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-full-spec 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 4d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Full Spec

This skill turns a parent ticket (audit, RFC, multi-finding report, etc.) with N actionable subtasks into a clean stack of N pull requests — and then keeps driving that stack to merge-ready by addressing every comment and review on every PR until reviewers are satisfied. It is the durable version of the workflow proven out on a real multi-finding security audit (24 P1/P2/P3 findings → 24 stacked PRs → multi-round bot review-response cycle).

Dependencies — check these first

This skill orchestrates two skills that ship as separate plugins. Before Phase B, confirm both are installed and invocable:

  • dev-team (plugin: dev-team) — the per-subtask Dev → QA → Reviewer → commit loop that Phase B runs once per subtask.
  • pr-autopilot (plugin: pr-autopilot) — owns the single-PR review mechanics that Phase C delegates to.

If either /dev-team or /pr-autopilot is unavailable, stop and tell the operator to install the missing plugin(s) from the same marketplace — e.g. /plugin install dev-team and /plugin install pr-autopilot — then re-run. Do not reimplement those loops inline.

When to use this skill

Triggers when the operator points at a parent containing multiple actionable subtasks AND wants each subtask to land as its own PR. Common phrasings:

  • "Work through all the P1/P2/P3 subtasks of this ClickUp/Linear/Jira ticket and create a PR for each."
  • "Fix all the findings in this audit. One PR per finding, stacked."
  • "Use agent teams to fix all the subtasks of [parent]."
  • "Address all the comments and bot reviews on PRs #N..#M."
  • "Go through these stacked PRs and respond to every review."
  • "Drive these to merge-ready. Re-request review when each one is updated."

It is the right skill when all three are true:

  1. The work is naturally a sequence of small, independently-reviewable units (≥3, typically 5–30).
  2. Subtasks share enough surface that stacked branches are cheaper than 30 branches off main.
  3. The user wants the orchestration to outlast a single attention span — fold in clarifications, hit review feedback, request re-review.

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.
