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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.00339 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00169 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00068 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00034 |
Grade A, and why
implementation-workflow 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.
What it actually says
Implementation Workflow
Overview
Create structured implementation workflows from PRDs or feature requirements. Emphasize clear task breakdowns, dependencies, and validation checkpoints.
When to Use
- Translating a PRD or feature spec into tasks
- Planning multi-domain implementation work
- Defining validation gates and dependencies
Avoid when:
- The task is a small, obvious change
- You already have a complete plan
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Workflow generation | skills/implementation-workflow/references/workflow.md |
Workflow
- Read the PRD/spec and identify core requirements.
- Load the workflow reference for structure and patterns.
- Decompose into workstreams with dependencies.
- Add validation steps and risk mitigation.
- Deliver the workflow and next actions.
Output
- Structured workflow with tasks and dependencies
- Validation checklist and risks
Common Mistakes
- Skipping dependency mapping
- Mixing execution steps with brainstorming
- Omitting validation gates
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

implementation-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (38 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 339 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
software-plan-review
Critically review a software delivery plan and suggest concrete improvements. Use when the user wants to review, critique, audit, evaluate, or strengthen a delivery plan, implementation plan, project plan, phased roadmap, or test plan. Reviews plans produced by the software-plan-creation skill, checking task breakdown…
openspec-archive-change
Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow. Use when the user wants to finalize and archive a change after implementation is complete.
setup-engine
Configure the project's game engine and version. Pins the engine in CLAUDE.md, detects knowledge gaps, and populates engine reference docs via WebSearch when the version is beyond the LLM's training data.
adopt
Brownfield onboarding — audits existing project artifacts for template format compliance (not just existence), classifies gaps by impact, and produces a numbered migration plan. Run this when joining an in-progress project or upgrading from an older template version. Distinct from /project-stage-detect (which checks…
issue-triage
Triage and categorize GitHub issues with priority labels. Use when user says "triage issues", "check issues", "review open issues", or during regular maintenance of GitHub issue backlog.
story-readiness
Validate that a story file is implementation-ready. Checks for embedded GDD requirements, ADR references, engine notes, clear acceptance criteria, and no open design questions. Produces READY / NEEDS WORK / BLOCKED verdict with specific gaps. Use when user says 'is this story ready', 'can I start on this story', 'is…
