implement

implement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from orin-dx/agent-plugins. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation workflow that uses test-driven development, meaning it writes a failing test before the code that makes it pass. It then implements the change, runs review and final checks, and commits the result with evidence for each acceptance criterion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build features, execute implementation plans, generate tests as part of implementation, or refactor code while checking behavior.
Why use it?
It creates a repeatable path from a requirement or plan to tested, reviewed code. The recorded evidence shows which tests and files support each promised outcome.

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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

State material concerns, evidence, consequence, and confidence directly. Do not soften blockers, manufacture praise, or claim certainty beyond the evidence.

Implement with evidence

Outcome

Make the requested workspace change in bounded batches and return a scoped verdict grounded in current code, risk-based verification, and defect-family review.

Workflow

  1. Prefer a persisted plan@1. Read it from plan_file_path and its source spec from spec_file_path; validate them with shared/schemas/[email protected] and shared/schemas/[email protected].
  2. Verify the plan’s spec_hash against the raw spec file bytes. Stop and report drift if it differs; a stale plan cannot silently govern implementation.
  3. Produce workspace-manifest@1 from current repository state, every affected language, project-native verification capabilities, baseline tests, and exposed workflow provenance.
  4. Execute one cohesive subsystem batch. Choose the smallest safe implementation and verification methods from the changed risks and shared/references/verification/evidence.md.
  5. Record implementation-result@1 with exact criterion locations, commands, observations, boundaries, and environment evidence.
  6. Use available mutation tooling against changed behavior or a safe deliberate-fault check. Record mutation-report@2; unavailable evidence is a coverage gap.
  7. Produce implementation-review@2. Judge verification fit, sibling completeness, semantic models, and architecture.
  8. Before completion, account for every planned batch and started verification task, reread persisted artifacts and current code, independently challenge semantic completeness, and emit scoped verdict@3. Commit only after user authorization.

Defect-family review

Before reviewing, load shared/references/verification/implementation-review.md and the evidence it selects. For each changed defect, assess:

  • Syntactic siblings with the same code shape or algorithm.
  • Semantic siblings with the same domain responsibility or failure state.
  • Candidate sites supporting semantic completeness, including zero-match claims.
  • The shared root cause for related instances.
  • Missing concepts, states, operations, boundaries, abstractions, invariants, or enforcement.
  • One disposition: fix instances, unify implementation, escalate architecture, or explicitly defer.
  • Boundary reach, input-space method, relevant environments, external-state freshness, and coverage gaps.

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 orin-dx/agent-plugins (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,129 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
