A task-state manager for feature implementation plans. It queries, claims, updates, and coordinates work items through their lifecycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect task status, manage dependencies, claim work, and coordinate a feature rollout.
Why use it?
It gives an implementation workflow a reliable way to track which tasks are ready, active, or complete.

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

implementation-manager 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 20d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/get_task_context.py, scripts/implementation_manager.py, scripts/task_format.py, …), 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 — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Load dh:dh-cli-usage before using <sam_cli/> or <dh_scripts/>.

Implementation Manager

Before dispatching or judging an attempt, read the work loop. Before interpreting the worker's response, load dh:subagent-contract. Workers read the runner contract before their first ledger command.

A skill for querying and managing feature implementation tasks. Provides programmatic access to task status for orchestrators coordinating multi-step feature implementations.

SAM MCP Tool Usage

Use the configured provider's native interface for native state. In a Beads workspace, use bd directly for CRUD, readiness, claims/status, and dependencies. Use SAM MCP or the DH CLI adapter for structured SAM plans, task metadata, artifacts, dispatch, and validation that bd does not provide. See Beads and workflow usage.

Structured SAM Commands

list

List all features with tasks tracked in the project's plan/ directory:

<sam_cli/> plan list

Output:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "plan_id": "P1",
      "feature": "prepare-host",
      "task_count": 8
    }
  ],
  "count": 1
}
status

Get detailed status for a specific feature:

<sam_cli/> plan status --plan-address P1

Output:

{
  "feature": "prepare-host",
  "total_tasks": 8,
  "completed": 8,
  "in_progress": 0,
  "not_started": 0,
  "ready_tasks": [],
  "tasks": [
    {
      "id": "1.1",
      "name": "Add Data Models to shared/models.py",
      "status": "complete",
      "dependencies": [],
      "agent": null,
      "priority": 1,
      "complexity": "low"
    }
  ]
}
ready-tasks

List tasks ready for execution (dependencies satisfied):

<sam_cli/> plan ready --plan-address P1

Output:

{
  "feature": "prepare-host",
  "ready_tasks": [
    {
      "id": "1.3",
      "name": "Create core/prepare.py Business Logic",
      "agent": "{resolved_agent}"
    }
  ],
  "count": 1
}

Files

What ships with it

5 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.
