add-implementation-requirement

add-implementation-requirement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from plainlang/plain-forge. It costs 65 tokens per session (981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An editor for adding implementation requirements to a plain specification file. These requirements describe how software should be built, such as its technology, architecture, data formats, or error handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record technology choices, coding rules, architectural constraints, data formats, algorithms, or error-handling guidance.
Why use it?
It keeps build instructions separate from functional specifications, which describe what the software should do.

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

add-implementation-requirement 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add Implementation Requirement

Always use the skill load-plain-reference to retrieve the ***plain syntax rules — but only if you haven't done so yet.

Workflow

  1. Identify the target .plain file. If ambiguous, ask the user.
  2. Read the file to understand existing implementation reqs, definitions, and functional specs.
  3. Determine if this belongs in implementation reqs — it must describe HOW to build, not WHAT to build (that goes in ***functional specs***).
  4. Draft the requirement following the rules below.
  5. Insert it into the ***implementation reqs*** section.
  6. Read the file again to confirm correct placement and syntax.

What Belongs Here

Implementation reqs are free-form instructions that steer code generation. Common contents:

  • Technology choices: language, framework, runtime version
  • Architectural constraints: patterns, layering, dependency rules
  • Coding standards: naming conventions, style guidelines
  • Data formats: serialization, encoding, transformation rules
  • Error handling: strategies, retry logic, exception hierarchies
  • Algorithm descriptions: specific approaches when behavior alone is insufficient
  • Performance guidance: memory constraints, streaming requirements, batching strategies
  • Language-specific constructs: generics, annotations, framework-specific types and idioms

What Does NOT Belong Here

  • Behavior and features — those go in ***functional specs***
  • Concept definitions — those go in ***definitions***
  • Conformance-test instructions — those go in ***test reqs***. Note: unit-test instructions belong HERE, not in ***test reqs*** — see Unit-test guidance belongs here below

Unit-test guidance belongs here

Everything about :UnitTests: goes in ***implementation reqs*** — paths, approach, packages, framework (JUnit / pytest / Jest / Go's testing / …), conventions, fixtures, mocking policy, file layout, naming, lint / static-analysis gates. Unit tests are part of the generated codebase, so requirements that shape them are implementation reqs by definition.

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.

add-implementation-requirement is a skill published in the GitHub repository plainlang/plain-forge (79 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 981 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
