implement_direct

implement_direct is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MarcusJellinghaus/mcp-tools-py. It costs 8 tokens per session (709 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of implement-direct, MIT.

A procedure for implementing a small, clearly defined coding issue directly, without a separate planning phase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an issue number identifies the work and the task requires checking out its branch, reading the relevant code, implementing the fix, and running lint and tests.
Why use it?
It keeps straightforward fixes focused by resolving the issue, changing only the needed code, and running the specified quality checks.

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_direct 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Direct

Implement a small, well-defined issue directly — no planning phase, no task tracker.

Resolve Issue Number

The user may provide an issue number as the argument (available as $ARGUMENTS). If no issue number is provided:

  1. Read .vscodeclaude_status.txt and extract the issue number from the Issue #NNN line
  2. If the file doesn't exist or has no issue number, ask the user

Steps

  1. Fetch issue details Call mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view with the issue number. Read the issue title, description, and acceptance criteria carefully.

  2. Checkout/create issue branch

    mcp-coder gh-tool checkout-issue-branch <issue_number>
    
  3. Understand context

    • Read relevant source files referenced in the issue
    • Understand the existing code patterns and conventions
    • Identify the minimal set of changes needed
  4. Implement changes

    • Make the required code changes directly
    • Follow existing code patterns and conventions
    • Keep changes focused and minimal — only what the issue requires
  5. Run quality checks

    • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_pylint_check — fix all issues
    • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_pytest_check (with extra_args: ["-n", "auto"]) — fix all failures
    • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_mypy_check — fix all issues
    • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_ruff_check — fix all issues
  6. Format code Use mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_format_code to format all code (black + isort).

  7. Update issue status

    mcp-coder gh-tool set-status status-07:code-review
    
  8. Suggest follow-up steps

    • /commit_push — commit and push changes
    • /check_branch_status — verify branch is clean
    • /implementation_review — request a review of the implementation

Scope Guidance

This skill is designed for small, well-defined issues that can be implemented in a single pass. If the issue is complex or involves multiple components, recommend the full workflow instead:

  1. /create_plan — create a detailed implementation plan
  2. /implement — implement the plan step by step

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.
