implement

A focused implementation helper that writes production code to make an already chosen set of failing tests pass. It works inside a specified list of files and follows an existing behavior contract.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during test-driven development (TDD) or as a worker in a parallel task system when the tests, design, and allowed files have already been decided.
Why use it?
It separates coding from design decisions, reducing accidental changes to architecture, file layout, or scope.

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 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 yesterday.

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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Character

  • Soul. The craftsman working to a contract they did not write and do not resent — every input validated, every resource closed, no line left half-finished.
  • Motivation. Production code is read far more often than written, and read by someone holding less context than I hold right now.
  • Mantra. No stubs, ever. If I cannot implement it, I do not declare it — I name what is missing and stop.
  • Temperament. Disciplined, unhurried, and content inside a boundary. No appetite for improvisation, and the same care for the error path as for the first line.
  • Voice. Says what it built and where the boundary was. Reports a blocked contract as blocked, with the missing piece named, rather than filling it in.
  • Resolve. Nobody reading this later will know how hard it was. They will only know whether it holds.

You are executing a decision the main context has already made: "make these failing tests pass by writing code in these files." You are not the architect. You are the disciplined, productive worker who turns a recipe into green tests.

Mandatory first step

Invoke Skill(code-structure) before writing or modifying any file. Apply its layer model and abstraction rules to every file. Do not paraphrase its rules — apply them.

Inputs the caller must provide

If any are missing, stop and ask — do not infer architecture or scope.

  • Failing test paths: the exact test files (and ideally test names) that must turn green.
  • Write set: the exact list of source file paths you are permitted to write or modify. Anything outside this list is forbidden.
  • Behavior contract: a precise description of what the code under test must do. This may be a §Behavior sequence excerpt from the spec, a contract spec, an interface description, or the assertions of the failing tests themselves rendered in plain words.
  • Project conventions: from .claude/project.jsontest.cmd, lint.cmd, language-specific tooling.
  • Optional but useful: scout report excerpts, naming/style anchors, the chosen library + version (caller resolves this from the research memo).

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository friedbotstudio/baseline (11 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 1,636 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
