iso-write

iso-write is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from IsaiaScope/ai. It costs 172 tokens per session (3,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that implements a written coding plan using TDD, or test-driven development: writing tests around expected behaviour while building the change. It leaves the edits uncommitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build features or fixes from a Markdown plan. It supports working in place, on a named or derived branch, or in a separate Git worktree, and runs the implementation without creating commits.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed plan into working code while preserving the user's chance to inspect the complete diff before committing. It can also place the work on a suitable branch or isolated worktree.

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

iso-write 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 27d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/write.sh, scripts/write.test.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

iso-write

Execute a Claude/Codex-authored plan using TDD in the workspace mode the user picks. Never commit. Leave every change in the working tree so the user reviews the full diff at the end of the writing session and commits manually.

Input

Invoked as /iso-write <plan_path> [workspace-flag] — <plan_path> is the path to the plan markdown file (e.g. docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-26-feat-thing.md).

An optional workspace flag selects where the implementation happens. The flags are mutually exclusive:

Flag Workspace
(none) Reuse, resume, or cut — on a base branch (dev, develop, test, prod, main, master) or detached HEAD, derive <type>/<slug> from the plan filename: check it out if it exists, create it if not. Already on a feature branch: stay on it, create nothing.
--no-branch In place — stay on the current branch, no checkout.
--branch=<name> Named branch — checkout <name>, creating it if missing.
--worktree Worktree — isolated worktree on a fresh <type>/<slug> branch via the using-git-worktrees skill.

If <plan_path> is missing or the file does not exist, halt: iso-write: plan not found: <plan_path>.

If more than one workspace flag is given, halt: iso-write: pick one workspace mode.

Pre-flight

# scripts/write.sh resolve refuses on all three: no git, no repo, no plan.
eval "$(scripts/write.sh resolve "$plan_path" $workspace_flag)"
# $mode and $branch are now set

A dirty working tree (staged or unstaged) is not refused. How Step 2 handles it depends on the mode: the default and --branch=<name> modes stash the changes and carry them onto the target branch; --no-branch leaves them in place; --worktree leaves them in the main checkout (the worktree starts clean).

Never create a worktree the user did not ask for. --worktree is the only way this skill ends up in one — not a fallback, not a workaround for a busy checkout, and never for a second repo a plan touches. Iso does not want worktrees: a sibling directory holding half the change is one more place to review, and it moves core.hooksPath and other shared config under the main checkout anyway.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
