implementation-logger

implementation-logger is a skill for Claude Code from jellydn/my-ai-tools. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,748 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A working log for recording when implementation differs from the original plan and why decisions were made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while building uncertain or complex changes, investigating unknowns, and recording deviations from the planned approach.
Why use it?
It prevents important reasoning from being lost when a complex change takes an unexpected path. It also gives you material for documentation and pull request explanations.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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-logger 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 8d 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.

Implementation Logger

When to Use

Use this skill during implementation when:

  • Working on complex or uncertain changes
  • The implementation approach isn't fully defined
  • You want to track decisions for documentation
  • Building knowledge about unknowns for future work
  • Need to explain reasoning in PR descriptions

What It Does

Tracks deviations from the original plan and decision rationale during implementation. Helps identify where your mental model (map) differed from reality (territory).

How to Execute

Step 1: Set Up Logging

At the start of implementation, create a log file:

# Create implementation log
echo "# Implementation Log: [Feature Name]" > .implementation-log.md
echo "" >> .implementation-log.md
echo "Started: $(date)" >> .implementation-log.md
echo "" >> .implementation-log.md
echo "## Original Plan" >> .implementation-log.md
echo "[Brief summary of approach]" >> .implementation-log.md
echo "" >> .implementation-log.md
echo "## Deviations & Decisions" >> .implementation-log.md

Step 2: Log During Implementation

Whenever reality differs from plan, log it:

### [Timestamp] - [Decision Point Title]

**Context**: What I encountered that wasn't in the plan

**Original Assumption**: What I thought would work

**Reality**: What I actually found

**Decision**: What I decided to do instead

**Rationale**: Why this approach is better/necessary

**Impact**: What else this might affect

Step 3: Log Categories

Track different types of deviations:

Architectural Discoveries:

  • Found existing abstraction that changes approach
  • Realized need for new pattern
  • Dependency constraints

Unknown Unknowns:

  • Edge cases not in spec
  • Integration points discovered
  • Performance considerations

Technical Constraints:

  • Library limitations
  • Type system issues
  • Test infrastructure gaps

Spec Gaps:

  • Ambiguous requirements
  • Missing error handling specs
  • Unclear business logic

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.
