implementation

implementation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from snyk/snyk-ls. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,270 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for implementing a Jira issue or feature from planning through testing and hand-off. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing a failing test before writing the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting or resuming implementation work on a Jira issue or feature. It helps find or create a plan, write tests first, implement the change, run checks, and record progress.
Why use it?
It provides checkpoints for planning, test-first development, testing, formatting, and resuming work later. This reduces the chance of coding without a clear task or missing required checks.

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

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.

Start Implementation Task

Workflow Overview

Check Plan → [Create if missing] → TEST FIRST → Implement → Test & Lint → Commit → Session Hand-off

TDD is NON-NEGOTIABLE: Every code change requires a failing test BEFORE implementation.

Phase 1: Initialize

1.1 Get Issue Context

# Extract issue ID from branch
git branch --show-current

The issueID follows format XXX-XXXX (e.g., IDE-1718).

1.2 Check for Implementation Plan

Look for: ${issueID}_implementation_plan/${issueID}_implementation_plan.md

If plan exists: Read it, note current progress, continue from last checkpoint.

If no plan: use skill create-implementation-plan to create one


Phase 1: Planning

Analysis

  • Files to modify: [list files]
  • Files to create: [list files]
  • Packages affected: [list packages]

Flow Diagrams

See: docs/diagrams/${issueID}_*.png


Phase 2: Implementation (TDD)

** read and use testing skill for TDD instructions **

Steps

  • Step 1: [description]
  • Step 2: [description]
  • Step 3: [description]

Phase 3: Review

  • All tests pass (make test)
  • Smoke tests pass (SMOKE_TESTS=1 make test)
  • Linting clean (make format)
  • Security scan clean (snyk_code_scan, snyk_sca_scan)
  • Documentation updated

### Create Diagrams

1. Create mermaid files in `docs/diagrams/${issueID}_*.mmd`
2. Run: `make generate-diagrams`
3. Reference PNGs in implementation plan

### Get Confirmation

**Stop here.** Present the plan and wait for user confirmation before proceeding.

## Phase 3: Implementation (Outside-In TDD)

### CRITICAL: TDD is MANDATORY

**NEVER write production code before writing a failing test.**


This applies to:
- New features
- Bug fixes
- Security fixes
- Refactoring
- ANY code change

### TDD Gate Check

** ALWAYS use the testing skill. **

Before writing ANY production code, verify:

- [ ] **Test exists?** Have I written a test for this change?
- [ ] **Test fails?** Does the test fail without my change?
- [ ] **Test is specific?** Does the test target the exact behavior I'm changing?

**If ANY answer is NO → STOP and write the test first.**

### TDD Cycle

For each feature/change:

1. **STOP** - Do not touch production code yet
2. **READ and USE testing skill.**
2. **Write failing test first** (outside-in: ensure smoke tests. also write unit tests)
3. **Run test** - confirm it fails for the right reason
4. **Write minimal code** to make test pass
5. **Run test** - confirm it passes
6. **Refactor** if needed (tests must still pass)

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.
