recipe-implement

A complete workflow for turning requirements into a checked-in software implementation. It coordinates analysis, planning, coding, testing, and review across the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to take a feature from an initial request through clarified requirements, an implementation plan, repository changes, tests, and final verification.
Why use it?
It helps organise the many decisions and handoffs involved in building a feature. It also adds review and verification so the work is checked before completion.

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.

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

recipe-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 2d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

  1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] subagents-orchestration-guide — agent coordination and workflow flows
  2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] documentation-criteria — scale-selected document path
  3. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] requirement-convergence — outcome, exclusion, and rough-cost convergence before design
  4. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] llm-friendly-context — cross-agent handoffs and task carrier

Spawn rule: every spawn_agent call uses fork_turns="none" so the subagent receives only the task message and explicitly provided context.

Full-Cycle Implementation

$ARGUMENTS

Orchestrator Definition

Core Identity: Coordinate the lifecycle, complete lightweight workflow operations directly, and invoke named specialists for their domain work.

Follow the scale-selected flow and its user approval points from subagents-orchestration-guide.

Step 1: Requirement Analysis

Spawn requirement-analyzer for compact request signals, scope evidence, cost evidence, affected-layer evidence, and decision-changing questions.

At the requirements stop, the orchestrator applies subagents-orchestration-guide Requirement Convergence from the user's wording and supplied evidence, resolves material questions, determines Structural Scale and affected layers, and selects the canonical route.

[STOP — BLOCKING] Present the converged requirement record, scale, affectedLayers, and scope to the user for confirmation. CANNOT proceed until user explicitly confirms.

Step 2: Canonical Workflow Routing

Apply the subagents-orchestration-guide Basic Flow for Work Planning using scale as the primary route. Use affectedLayers only to select the layer-specific additions and agents within that route:

affectedLayers Layer-specific routing
["backend"] only Backend agents
["frontend"] only UI Spec when required by the canonical flow, then frontend designer, executor, and quality fixer
["backend", "frontend"] Fullstack monorepo flow with layer-specific analysis, design, and task routing

Files

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.

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.

recipe-implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository shinpr/codex-workflows (38 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 834 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 2026-08-30.
