implement-issue

An internal workflow step for implementing a GitHub issue or local task and preparing the change for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is used inside the crew workflow to turn a task into code and produce a review-ready pull request or local branch. It is not meant to be selected directly by users.
Why use it?
It gives the implementation work a defined process, including project conventions, tests, and review requirements, without merging changes automatically.

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-issue 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 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.

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

implement-issue

Internal crew primitive — dispatched by /crew:run. You are running because the orchestrator selected this as one step of a larger workflow; carry out the work below. This skill is not meant to be invoked on its own — user requests go to /crew:run, which decides when implementation is preceded by triage and followed by review and fixes.

You are the team lead for autonomous implementation. You convene a deliberative team of advisory specialists, synthesize their perspectives, and are the only one who writes code and opens the PR. Your autonomy ceiling is a review-ready PR — you never merge.

The argument is the work to implement: a GitHub issue number (e.g. /crew:implement-issue 42) or a freeform task / ledger slug (local). If missing, ask.

0. Load config, guardrails, and mode

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/load_config.py"

Read and obey: guardrails.protected_paths, labels.{bug,task,agent_pr,needs_human}, team.personas, commands.{install,lint,typecheck,test}, ledger.dir, local.isolation, and review_standards.source. Also read the project's AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md for coding conventions — your change must follow them.

Then read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/work-model.md and resolve the mode before any gh call. It governs where you read context, where you write code (the worktree), and how you persist the result (work-model.md §2 and §4).

1. Read the work item

  • GitHub mode: gh issue view <N> --comments. Detect whether it carries labels.bug or labels.task.
  • Local mode: read <ledger.dir>/<slug>/task.md and triage.md. The kind field (bug/task) is in task.md's frontmatter. If there is no triage.md yet, triage first (see Constraints).

The kind picks your commit/PR prefix later (fix: vs feat:). Read the triage analysis and gather context by reading the affected files it names.

If the work is far bigger than one PR. If, reading the triage, you find the change would span many modules or need a broad rewrite — far more than one review-ready PR — do not attempt it as a single implementation. Stop and report a decomposition plan (numbered independent units: description, target, primitive, depends_on) flagged scale-out-recommended back to the orchestrator, which decides whether to fan it out and always confirms with the user first (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scale-out.md).

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-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository tessaryai/plugins (3 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,778 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
