implement-minimal

implement-minimal is a skill for Claude Code from olgaiv39/claude-oss-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A focused coding approach that makes the smallest complete change needed to meet an agreed requirement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a planned feature or a clearly defined acceptance criterion while keeping the project runnable.
Why use it?
It prevents speculative features, unrelated refactoring, and changes that are difficult to verify.

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-minimal 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 10d 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.

implement-minimal

Central rule:

Implement the smallest complete change that satisfies the current acceptance criteria, and leave the project runnable.

Do not expand scope, add speculative structure, or refactor unrelated code while using this skill.

Activate when

  • A plan or a single clear acceptance criterion exists and code must change
  • The next step is one runnable increment
  • The change is larger than a one-line edit but smaller than a full feature

Do not activate when

  • No plan or acceptance criterion exists yet -> use oss-plan
  • The repository does not exist yet -> use oss-bootstrap
  • A test or build is failing and the cause is unknown -> use test-and-debug
  • The change only adds or upgrades a dependency -> use dependency-review

Required inputs

  • The acceptance criterion for this increment
  • Access to the repository to inspect status, conventions, and diff
  • The targeted validation command for the affected code

Low-resource policy

Read the first of these that exists, then follow it:

  • ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/shared/LOW_RESOURCE.md
  • $HOME/.claude/shared/LOW_RESOURCE.md

If neither exists, apply this fallback: run one expensive command at a time, prefer the narrowest validation, disable watch mode, reuse existing environments, and run full validation only at a milestone boundary. Do not scan the whole filesystem to locate the policy.

Context-efficiency policy

Read the first of these that exists, then follow it:

  • ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/shared/CONTEXT_EFFICIENCY.md
  • $HOME/.claude/shared/CONTEXT_EFFICIENCY.md

If neither exists, apply this fallback: select files before reading; use targeted searches and bounded ranges; do not preload references; do not reread unchanged files; finish one atomic increment and stop; create a compact handoff before context is exhausted.

Facts that must not be assumed

  • The test runner, package manager, or build tool
  • That existing tests pass right now
  • That an external API, wallet, or MCP tool is reachable
  • That a dependency is already approved

What ships with it

3 files 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.

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.
