metis-implement-task

metis-implement-task is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gsaranti/pantheon. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,120 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-implementation workflow that follows a plan already provided in the conversation or project context and ends with a summary of the work completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Carrying out a planned coding task, reporting what was included, and identifying remaining work.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from implementing an unstated brief or silently expanding the task.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

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

metis-implement-task 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 — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/metis-implement-task

Implement the task described by the plan in context, and close with a scope report.

Arguments

  • Trailing prompt — optional. Augments the plan in context per the command-prompts convention. If no plan is in context, the prompt serves as the description and the agent treats it as a single-step brief.

Context expected

A plan or description present in conversation context. It can come from any of:

  • A recent /metis-plan-task invocation in this session — structured plan in chat history.
  • An informal plan or description discussed with the user in this session before invoking this skill — chat history, however it got there.
  • .metis/CURRENT.md loaded by /metis-session-start — a prior session captured the plan there.
  • The trailing prompt to this command, when it's specific enough to serve as the brief.

If none of these are present, ask the user before proceeding. Implementing against an unstated brief is the silent-drift failure mode this skill exists to avoid.

The plan may cover one task toward a larger BUILD.md item, not the whole item. Implement the planned task and let the scope report name what remains of the item; don't widen to finish the entire item in one pass — that's the scope creep the redline below guards against.

Load (task-specific)

  • The code the task is changing, on demand as implementation proceeds. Confined to surfaces named in the plan's expected file changes — widening goes in the scope report.
  • Source-doc passages the plan cites or the description points at, at the named paths.

Do not load

  • .metis/CONTRADICTIONS.md, .metis/QUESTIONS.md, .metis/RESOLVED.md.
  • Other session state beyond the plan and what the plan points at.

Read first

references/honest-scope-reporting.md — read before composing the closing scope report.

Write scope

  • Code and test files. Confined to surfaces named in the plan's expected file changes. Widening — touching files the plan did not name — goes in the scope report.

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.

metis-implement-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository gsaranti/pantheon (3 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,120 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
