implementing-tasks

implementing-tasks is a skill for Claude Code from prime-radiant-inc/iterative-development. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,108 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A task-execution workflow that assigns each small development task to an implementation agent and checks the result against the specification and code-quality rules. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it inside an active development iteration to implement a batch of TDD-sized tasks. It maps requirements to tests or other evidence, performs specification and quality reviews, and reports completion for each task.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that a task is implemented without covering its required behavior or without review. Failed checks lead to a fix cycle before the task is marked complete.

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

implementing-tasks 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 2mo 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.

Implementing Tasks

Overview

Takes an in-memory batch of TDD-sized tasks and executes each through: implementer subagent (TDD) → PAR spec-compliance review → fix loop → PAR code-quality review with boxing-in check → fix loop → mark complete. This is a fork of superpowers:subagent-driven-development with the plan-file reading phase stripped and the final end-of-plan reviewer removed.

When to Use

Invoked by running-an-iteration with a list of tasks. Tasks are passed in memory, not via a file.

Per-Task Cycle

For each task in the provided list:

1. Dispatch implementer

Using the template in implementer-subagent-prompt.md, dispatch a single implementer subagent with:

  • The full task description and context
  • The proof obligations for each observable AC in the task's stories
  • The list of existing scenarios that may be impacted

The implementer MUST complete a pre-flight mapping (AC → proof seam → scenario) before writing code. If the implementer skips the pre-flight, re-dispatch with explicit instructions to complete it first.

2. Handle implementer status

  • DONE: proceed to spec-compliance review (step 3). Verify the implementer's report includes pre-flight mapping and scenario updates.
  • DONE_WITH_CONCERNS: read the concerns. If about correctness/scope, address before review. If observations, note and proceed.
  • NEEDS_CONTEXT: provide the missing context and re-dispatch
  • BLOCKED: assess: context problem → re-dispatch with context; too hard → re-dispatch with more capable model; task too large → break into smaller pieces; plan wrong → escalate to caller

3. PAR spec-compliance review (Stage 1)

Following skills/shared/parallel-adversarial-review.md:

  1. Build spec-compliance prompt using spec-compliance-reviewer-prompt.md
    • Include the proof obligations and the implementer's evidence claims
  2. Wrap in PAR competitive framing from skills/shared/par-reviewer-wrapper.md
  3. Dispatch TWO spec-compliance reviewers in parallel
  4. Aggregate findings (PAR rules: union of findings, severity = take worst)
  5. If ❌ issues found:
    • Send aggregated issues back to the implementer subagent (same subagent, via continuation message)
    • Implementer fixes
    • Re-dispatch fresh PAR spec-compliance pair
    • Repeat until ✅ spec compliant with adequate evidence
  6. Only proceed to Stage 2 after Stage 1 is ✅

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.
