snyk-ls: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/create-implementation-plan/SKILL.md

create-implementation-plan is a skill for Cursor from snyk/snyk-ls. It costs 45 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided way to write a structured plan for a Jira issue, a task tracked in Jira, using the project's template. It also creates test tracking and Mermaid diagrams, which are text files that show a process visually.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a feature or Jira task, or when no implementation plan exists. It helps prepare the plan, test scenarios, diagrams, and progress notes before coding.
Why use it?
It gives a team a shared record of what will be changed, how it will be tested, and where work stopped. This makes hand-offs between work sessions easier.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is snyk/snyk-ls's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on snyk-ls itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything snyk-ls configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

create-implementation-plan 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.

Create Implementation Plan

Creates implementation plans using the official project template with session hand-off support, TDD workflow, and progress tracking.

Quick Start

  1. Extract issue ID from branch: git branch --show-current (format: XXX-XXXX)
  2. Read Jira issue for context and acceptance criteria
  3. Create plan file: ${issueID}_implementation_plan.md (root directory)
  4. Create tests.json for test scenario tracking
  5. Create mermaid diagrams in docs/diagrams/
  6. STOP and wait for user confirmation

Template Location

Use template from: docs/templates/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_TEMPLATE.md

Replace all {{TICKET_ID}} and {{TICKET_TITLE}} placeholders with actual values.

Files to Create

File Location Purpose
Implementation plan ${issueID}_implementation_plan.md Main plan document
Test tracking tests.json Track test scenarios across sessions
Flow diagrams docs/diagrams/${issueID}_*.mmd Mermaid source files

All these files are gitignored - NEVER commit them.

Key Sections to Complete

1. SESSION RESUME (Critical for hand-off)

  • Update Quick Context with ticket info and branch
  • Fill Current State table
  • List Next Actions
  • Update Current Working Files table

2. Phase 1: Planning

  • 1.1 Requirements Analysis: List changes, error handling, files to modify/create
  • 1.2 Schema/Architecture Design: Add schemas, data structures
  • 1.3 Flow Diagrams: Create mermaid files, generate PNGs

3. Phase 2: Implementation (Outside-in TDD)

  • Use testing skill
  • CRITICAL: use outside-in TDD
  • Enforce strict test order:
    1. Smoke tests (E2E behavior)
    2. Integration tests (cross operating system behaviour, integrative behaviour)
    3. Unit tests
  • Break into checkpoint steps (completable in one session)
  • Each step: tasks, tests to write FIRST, commit message
  • Reference test IDs from tests.json
  • Add a plan self-check: integration tests must appear before unit tests

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.
