mtk-agent-toolkit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/subagent-implementation/SKILL.md

subagent-implementation is a skill for Claude Code from moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit. It costs 46 tokens per session (6,289 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for dividing large implementation tasks among separate coding agents, one batch at a time, while a main coordinator checks the results. A batch is one group of related file changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for features split into at least three batches, changes affecting many non-mechanical files, security-sensitive work, or high-rigor spec-driven tasks.
Why use it?
Large changes can overwhelm one conversation and make it harder to keep the plan, scope, and implementation aligned.

Skill for Claude Code

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

This is moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mtk-agent-toolkit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mtk-agent-toolkit configures →

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

subagent-implementation 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 8d 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.

Subagent Implementation

Overview

Per-batch context isolation for large features. The orchestrator (main context) holds the spec, plan, and JSON sidecar; each batch's actual editing happens inside a fresh subagent that receives only what it needs and returns a structured result. Inspired by obra/superpowers's subagent-driven-development; adapted to MTK's typed-handoff and Phase-4 review architecture.

This skill is a branch of incremental-implementation, not a replacement. implement/SKILL.md Phase 3 picks one based on the threshold below.

When To Use

Phase 3 of implement/SKILL.md invokes this skill when any of these are true (read from docs/specs/<date>-<slug>.json):

  • plan.batches.length >= 3
  • non-mechanical change_manifest entries >= 6
  • security_impact != "none"
  • rigor score ≥ 8 from the spec sidecar (rigor level HIGH or MAX — see implement/SKILL.md Rigor Score)

When NOT To Use

  • 1-2 batch features → use incremental-implementation (inline path; cheaper).
  • Quick fixes (already routed through fix/SKILL.md).
  • Single-file refactors.
  • Standalone runs without an approved spec — there is no JSON sidecar to thread.

Workflow

Companion files: this skill's detail payloads live in .claude/references/subagent-implementer-prompt.md and .claude/references/subagent-dynamic-workflow.md — resolve them under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} on a plugin install, else project-relative. If a companion cannot be resolved, stop the affected step and report the missing file — do not reconstruct its content from memory.

Invariants: the orchestrator never edits source for a dispatched batch; the implementer never spawns subagents; the drift check is orchestrator-side, with no reviewer agent per batch.

Execution paths

There are two ways to run the per-batch loop. Both share the same implementer prompt template, the same structured JSON result, and the same orchestrator-side drift / sidecar / churn / Phase-4 discipline. Only the dispatch mechanism differs.

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.
