implement-universal

implement-universal is a skill for Claude Code from iusztinpaul/designing-real-world-ai-agents-workshop. It costs 204 tokens per session (5,517 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of implement-universal, MIT.

A single-conversation implementation workflow that takes one workshop ticket through coding and testing. SWE means software engineering, and TDD means checking the result with tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a ticket from implementyourself/tasks/, create a branch, verify the changes, mark the ticket done, and commit the result.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable implementation-and-review process in coding environments that cannot launch separate helper agents. It keeps the coding and testing roles distinct within one conversation.

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-universal 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 320 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Universal — Single-Context Workshop Implementation Loop

This is the harness-agnostic twin of /implement. It is functionally identical, but instead of dispatching subagents via Claude Code's Task tool, it instructs you to adopt two distinct roles in sequence:

  1. Software Engineer phase — read agents/software-engineer.md and execute it end-to-end.
  2. Tester phase — read agents/tester.md and execute it as a fresh reviewer of the SWE phase's output.

Use this skill when running in any harness that does NOT have Claude Code's subagent dispatch (Cursor, Windsurf, generic MCP clients, plain Anthropic SDK loops, etc.). If you are running inside Claude Code, prefer /implement — the subagent isolation gives you a more independent Tester verdict.

new feature branch → SWE role implements (+ AC walk on glue tickets) → role switch → Tester role verifies (logic tickets only) → orchestrator moves file to tasks/done/ → orchestrator commits directly with `git commit -m` → report to human

After the report, the session ends. The human reviews the commit, talks the workshop audience through what happened, optionally amends or pushes, then re-invokes for the next ticket.

You are the orchestrator for steps 1–3, 6, and 7. For steps 4 and 5 you adopt the bundled roles. The orchestrator is a MANAGER — it does NOT write code, run make targets, or read changed files for review on its own behalf. That work happens inside the role phases.

Single-context limitation — read this first

Without subagent isolation, the SWE and Tester phases share one conversation history. That means:

  • The Tester phase will see the SWE phase's reasoning. Bias toward confirming your own implementation is real. Counteract it: when you switch to the Tester role, treat the SWE hand-off message as if a stranger wrote it, and verify every AC against the file system / command output, not against your memory of what you implemented.
  • Tool budget is shared. Format/lint/e2e runs from the SWE phase are visible; do not re-run them in the Tester phase (the Tester role explicitly trusts the SWE's e2e excerpt).
  • Context window is finite. On a long ticket, the SWE phase may consume substantial context. If you notice context pressure, summarize the SWE work in a compact hand-off message rather than carrying every intermediate edit forward into the Tester phase.

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.
