implement-change

A workflow for implementing a software change from its specification through a pull request. It uses TDD, a practice of writing tests before or alongside the code they check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Turning a requested change into tested code and preparing it for a pull request.
Why use it?
It gives bug fixes, features, and follow-up changes a structured path with tests and a proposed code review step.

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 B, and why

implement-change scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

If you find yourself about to write implementation code, stop. Write the test, watch it fail for the right reason, then implement. Code written before its test must be deleted, not adapted. See `.claude/rules/tdd-anti-pa

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 tacoda/bridle (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,089 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
