implement-spec

implement-spec is a skill for Claude Code from lttr/claude-marketplace. It costs 32 tokens per session (3,052 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that implements a complete software specification by coordinating work across its linked tickets. A specification describes the requested result, while tickets divide that work into smaller tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the latest task folder, validate its specification, implement unfinished tickets in order, and complete the review wrap-up when all tickets are done.
Why use it?
It checks that the specification is clear and that required ticket folders exist before starting, reducing the chance of unattended work following missing or contradictory requirements.

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-spec 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 yesterday.

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

Flow at a glance

  1. Resolve input: find the task folder and its tickets. Nothing there → stop
  2. [GATE] spec concrete enough? Last chance to ask the user. Past this, unattended
  3. Task worktree: own branch, the whole run happens there. User's checkout stays untouched
  4. [LOOP] repeat until every ticket is done:
    • pick the ready tickets: those whose blockers are all done
    • run one implementer subagent per ready ticket, in parallel, each in its own worktree
      • inside each: implement with tests → run the checks → simplify → verify criteria → done → commit
    • as each returns, land its work onto the task branch one at a time (linear history), keep its notes, drop its worktree
    • landed work may unblock more tickets → next round. A ticket that cannot be finished stops the whole run
  5. Wrap-up (once): full project verification on the merged branch
  6. Fresh-context review of the whole diff, fixes applied, outcome saved as the review record
  7. Clean up and report: remove leftover worktrees and branches, tell the user what's done and where the branch is

Follows the aiwork-protocol skill. Don't enter plan mode: the spec and tickets are the plan.

1. Resolve input

$ARGUMENTS is a spec/PRD or task folder path. With no args, find the most recently modified task folder (per aiwork-protocol conventions). Resolve it to an absolute path and use that everywhere, including in subagent prompts. Locate the tickets/ subfolder:

  • No tickets → suggest /to-tickets, or /implement <spec> if the spec is small enough for one pass. Stop.
  • All tickets done but no review.md → go straight to Wrap-up (§5).
  • Nothing found → tell the user and stop.

2. Clarity gate

Before touching code, check the spec is concrete enough for an unattended run. Warn and stop for confirmation if any hold:

  • Open questions, TBDs, or unresolved decisions
  • Key technical choices (data model, API shape, file targets) unspecified
  • Success criteria too vague to tell when "done"
  • Content is contradictory, out of order, or otherwise corrupted
  • An external service or credential the tickets depend on is unreachable or unset
  • The spec has an Open Concerns section with anything in it
  • The task folder has an intent.md whose status is not accepted

implement-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository lttr/claude-marketplace (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 3,052 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
