implementation_needs_rework

A review workflow for sending a GitHub issue back to the planning stage when code review finds major problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after creating new implementation steps and pushing the changes, before implementing and reviewing the revised plan again.
Why use it?
It separates small fixes from work that needs a new implementation plan, so unfinished or unsuitable code is not approved prematurely.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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_needs_rework 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to implementation_needs_rework — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Return to plan-ready after major review issues

Transitions the issue back to plan-ready status for re-implementation when code review identifies major issues that cannot be fixed with minor changes.

When to Use

Situation Action
Minor fixes Fix directly, re-run /implementation_review or /implementation_review_supervisor
Major issues This command (after /implementation_new_tasks + /commit_push)
Approved /implementation_approve

Prerequisites

  • New implementation steps created (/implementation_new_tasks)
  • Changes committed and pushed (/commit_push)

Instructions

mcp-coder gh-tool set-status status-05:plan-ready

Confirm the status change was successful. If it fails, report the error. Do not use --force unless explicitly asked.

Next Steps

Run mcp-coder implement to process the new steps, then /implementation_review or /implementation_review_supervisor.

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.
