implement

implement is a skill for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 109 tokens per session (10,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for making code changes from an approved plan while checking the build and tests after each logical block. It can work directly in the current project or use worker agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for implementing features, fixing bugs, and validating the result during development. TDD, or test-driven development, uses tests to guide the code being written.
Why use it?
It helps prevent broken changes from accumulating and identifies when the chosen approach no longer fits the plan.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 today.

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

Arguments. [feature|fix|refactor|replace|config] [task]. e.g., /implementation:implement, /implementation:implement feature, /implementation:implement fix login-bug, /implementation:implement refactor, /implementation:implement replace legacy-parser

Repository context. Gather first

Collect these with individual Bash calls, one command per call, never combined into a single invocation:

  • Current branch, git branch --show-current
  • Working tree status (empty = clean), git status --porcelain | head -20
  • Recent commits, git log --oneline -5
  • Uncommitted changes, git diff --stat HEAD | tail -1

The pipe is the bound and belongs in the command. A read-time cap ("read only the first 20 entries") bounds nothing: the Bash tool returns the command's complete output into context before there is anything to decide about.

Treat a failure (not a repository, git unavailable) as an unknown value and carry on. Keep these as separate body Bash calls rather than pre-compute lines: the harness runs a skill's whole pre-compute block as one shell invocation, and a worktree-isolated session refuses a compound command that contains git.

Purpose

Implementation is where plans become code. This skill structures the execution phase so changes are made incrementally, validated continuously, and abandoned early when the approach isn't working, rather than pushing through a broken implementation and discovering problems at PR time.

It sits between planning and verification: exploration and external research provide understanding, a planning pass produces an approved plan, this skill executes it with discipline, and the companion skills in the testing and verification plugins (/testing:plan, /testing:write, /testing:diagnose, /verification:confirm) validate the result when those plugins are installed.

Philosophy: cost of a mid-implementation replan is minutes; cost of discovering a flawed approach at PR review is hours. Validate incrementally, commit at checkpoints, and route back to planning the moment something feels wrong.

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.

implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (26 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 10,034 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
