implement

implement is a skill for Claude Code from KashZod/devloop. It costs 68 tokens per session (5,717 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A test-first implementation workflow for carrying out an approved plan, where each piece of code starts with a failing test and ends with quality checks. TDD means writing the test before the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an approved plan tracker exists to implement each chunk, run its tests, and pass the final review gates.
Why use it?
It turns a plan into an execution loop that checks behavior by running tests and adds separate conformance and correctness reviews before completion.

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 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 6d 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 — 507 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implementation Process (Test-Driven)

Implement the plan for: $ARGUMENTS

Tests give the implementer a self-verification loop. Instead of producing code that looks right, write tests first, then implement until they pass, so correctness is checked by execution rather than by inspection.

This skill is the build half of the loop. The plan half, code exploration, chunk decomposition, and the plan-review gate, lives in the companion /plan skill, which produces the tracker this skill reads. A skill cannot invoke another skill, so if no approved tracker exists yet, this skill stops and asks you to run /plan first.

Mapping to the Explore -> Plan -> Code Loop

Workflow Phase Implement Phase What Happens
Explore / Plan (done in /plan) Analysis, chunking, and plan review already happened
Explore Phase 1: Load the Plan Read the tracker, verify the gate, orient on the next chunk
Code Phase 2: TDD Cycle Per chunk: failing test -> code -> passing test
Verify Phase 3: Quality Verification review-impl + red-team gate; converge
Commit (user-initiated) Commit when the user requests

When to Use This Process

Scope Approach
Trivial (typo, rename, version bump) Don't use this skill -- just do it directly
Anything larger Run /plan first to produce a tracker, then /implement builds it

/plan sizes the work (a small fix becomes a 1-chunk tracker; a cross-cutting feature becomes a layered one). This skill reads whatever the tracker holds and builds it chunk by chunk. If you invoke /implement with no tracker in place, it will point you at /plan.

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.

implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository KashZod/devloop (2 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 5,717 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
