implement-change

A workflow for implementing an approved, pull-request-sized coding change through managed Git worktrees. A worktree is a separate working copy that lets a worker edit on its own branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign an owner worker, optionally split independent work, integrate accepted commits, and respond to verification, CI, or review feedback.
Why use it?
It separates implementation from coordination and keeps each change, review, and validation step traceable.

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-change 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/manage_worker_worktree.py, scripts/test_manage_worker_worktree.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Change

Execute an approved PR goal while keeping the primary session responsible for coordination. The manager never edits code. Every PR has one owner worker in a managed worktree.

Entry Gate

Confirm that the PR is inside the user-approved scope and sequence. For a standalone implementation request, the explicit request is the approved scope.

Read references/worktree-workers.md before dispatching a writing worker.

Dispatch

  1. Create a linked worktree for the owner worker with scripts/manage_worker_worktree.py. Run the helper outside the sandbox from the outset. Use an explicit branch-point SHA.
  2. Give the owner the approved PR goal and boundaries. The owner inspects the code, forms the implementation plan, edits, runs repo-supported validation, creates normal commits, and reports commit SHAs, changed paths, validation, and surprises.
  3. Spawn supporting workers in separate managed worktrees when independent chunks can proceed in parallel. Supporting workers commit their chunks; the owner worker integrates accepted support commits.
  4. Keep the owner available for verifier, CI, and review feedback.

Keep each active worker branch on its assigned branch-point SHA. Do not rebase or recreate it merely because the target branch advanced. Refresh only for a real dependency, conflict, or identified semantic overlap.

Do not manually delete branches or worktrees after a PR. Worktree creation quietly reaps clean managed worktrees whose tip commit is older than seven days.

Wait for Workers

  • Continue useful non-overlapping manager work after dispatch.
  • Once worker output is the actual blocker, call wait_agent with all unresolved worker IDs and a 900000 ms timeout. Use a longer timeout, up to the API maximum, when the assigned task reasonably needs it.
  • Treat an ordinary timeout as "still working", not as a progress event. Do not narrate or create short-poll loops. Wait again with a long timeout unless there is evidence the worker is stuck or the user asks for status.

What ships with it

4 files 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.

implement-change is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShivaeDev/pardes (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 509 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 2026-08-31.
