harness-implement

harness-implement is a skill for Claude Code from vasuag09/harness-claude. It costs 62 tokens per session (569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for running the implementation phase of an approved plan with tests, build checks, and delegated coding tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after planning to implement phases in order, write tests before code, resolve build or type errors, and confirm each phase is complete.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation aligned with the plan and stops when the code or requirements no longer match reality.

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

harness-implement 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

/harness-implement — run the Implement phase

Thin orchestrator over the Implement skills. Requires an approved plan from /harness-claude:harness-plan (or /harness-claude:plan). Refuse to start without one for non-trivial work.

Sequence

  1. For each plan phase, in order:

    • /harness-claude:implementdelegate to the harness-claude:tdd-guide agent: failing test (RED) → minimum code (GREEN) → refactor, against the phase's acceptance criteria.
    • Parallel-fan-out checkpoint (mandatory when it triggers): before editing a phase serially, if it spans 3+ independent files with disjoint write-sets and no dependency, you must surface /harness-claude:orchestrate — name the file split and let the user choose. The offer is not optional (that's the only way parallel mode fires); acting on it stays opt-in — never auto-start a multi-agent run.
    • Let the format/typecheck/quality hooks run; act on what they surface.
    • If the build/types break and the fix isn't obvious → /harness-claude:build-fix (delegate to the harness-claude:build-error-resolver agent), minimal diffs only.
    • Confirm the phase's exit check (tests green, build clean) before the next phase.
  2. Plan-divergence gate: if reality contradicts the plan (a phase is wrong, missing, or bigger than scoped), HALT — report the divergence, update the plan with the user, then resume. Never silently improvise scope.

Rules

  • Delegate search/exploration and isolated edits to cheaper models; keep the orchestrator focused on integration.
  • Files stay modular and lean (<800 lines), immutable patterns, validated inputs.
  • Compact at phase boundaries, not mid-phase.
  • Do not commit or push — branch creation follows rules/git.md (branch-at-first-write in /harness-claude:implement).

Output

Phase-by-phase summary (what was built, tests added, build status). Then hand off to /harness-claude:harness-verify.

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.

harness-implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository vasuag09/harness-claude (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 569 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
