implement-issue-execplan

A skill for implementing a feature or fix from an issue card and an ExecPlan, a written plan that describes the intended work and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when work must follow AGENTS.md, PLANS.md, linked project documents, and required validation steps. It needs paths to both the issue card and ExecPlan.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation aligned with the repository's instructions and makes progress traceable in the plan.

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-execplan 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.

Implement Issue + ExecPlan

Overview

Implement changes driven by an issue card and ExecPlan while keeping the plan updated, traceable, and aligned to AGENTS.md, PLANS.md, and any repo docs the issue references. We do not want over engineering, nor cluttering too much. We must follow the DRY principle and the best practices and guidelines.

Inputs

  • ISSUE_PATH: Path to the issue card file (required).
  • EXECPLAN_PATH: Path to the ExecPlan file (required).

Workflow (follow in order)

1) Inputs and preflight reading

  • Require ISSUE_PATH and EXECPLAN_PATH; ask for them if missing or ambiguous.
  • Read these files end-to-end, in order: AGENTS.md, PLANS.md, any repo docs referenced by the issue card, ISSUE_PATH, EXECPLAN_PATH.
  • Treat referenced repo docs as authoritative for their scope; record conflicts in the ExecPlan Decision Log.

2) ExecPlan reconciliation (before code)

  • Validate the ExecPlan includes every section required by PLANS.md.
  • Ensure each plan step is deterministic, file-scoped, and includes validation criteria.
  • Update the ExecPlan in place if anything is missing or stale; include assumptions, risks, and dependencies.

3) Implementation loop (repeat per step)

  • Execute only one planned step (or a tight subset) at a time.
  • Keep diffs minimal, follow existing patterns, and avoid new abstractions unless they clearly reduce duplication.
  • Update the ExecPlan after each step.
  • Record progress: what changed and which steps are complete/in progress.
  • Record the decision log: why choices were made, with references to AGENTS/PLANS/Dingus docs or issue text.
  • Record validation: how to verify the step and expected outcome.

4) Validation and closure

  • Run every validation listed in the ExecPlan.
  • Add missing validations discovered during implementation and record results.
  • Ensure acceptance criteria from the issue are explicitly satisfied and verifiable.

Output requirements

  • Summarize what changed (short).
  • List exact file paths touched and why.
  • Provide validation evidence (commands run plus result or expected output).
  • Confirm the ExecPlan is complete and up to date.

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.

implement-issue-execplan is a skill published in the GitHub repository EEstevanell/codex-planning-kit (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 618 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.
