recipe-prepare-implementation

recipe-prepare-implementation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/codex-workflows. It costs 24 tokens per session (510 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preparation workflow for making existing repository tools ready for an approved implementation plan. It covers local setup such as dependencies, containers, bootstrap commands, test runners, browser tools, fixtures, seeds, and example-based configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a repository lacks a ready local dependency, service, test harness, browser setup, fixture, seed process, or non-secret configuration needed by the plan.
Why use it?
It helps resolve one concrete missing local capability before implementation begins. It keeps setup work separate from feature coding, production access, and deployment.

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-prepare-implementation 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 4d 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.

Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

  1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] subagents-orchestration-guide — capability failure resolution and caller-return rules

Purpose

Run this optional side path when the user explicitly requests setup or Orchestrator Escalation Resolution identifies one concrete missing repository-local capability. Prepare existing repository-local tools needed to execute the approved Work Plan, then return a capability summary to the caller.

Work plan: $ARGUMENTS

Scope

Repository-local preparation includes existing project mechanisms for:

  • dependency installation
  • local containers or services
  • repository-provided bootstrap commands
  • test runner, browser harness, fixtures, and seed commands already referenced by the Work Plan or governing Design Doc
  • non-secret local configuration derived from checked-in examples

Feature implementation, new product behavior, external account creation, credential acquisition, organizational approval, production access, deployment, and release execution remain in their owning workflows. The caller continues with the capabilities available after this side path.

Process

  1. Resolve the exact Work Plan path from $ARGUMENTS, or from the build caller when invoked as its side path.
  2. Read repository manifests, lockfiles, checked-in setup documentation, and scripts that control commands used by the Work Plan.
  3. Select the smallest existing setup commands that enable the planned repository checks.
  4. Execute those commands and capture their observable results.
  5. Classify each planned capability as available or unavailable with concrete evidence.
  6. Return the capability summary to the caller. In a build flow, unavailable capabilities become task-local verification limitations handled through Orchestrator Escalation Resolution. The approved Work Plan and its implementation task set remain unchanged.

Use the active execution plan when one exists. When setup has multiple dependent commands and no plan exists, create one and update it through completion.

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.
