implement-specs

A workflow for building an approved software feature from product and technical specification files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps implement features from PRODUCT.md and TECH.md, while updating those specifications when the implementation evolves.
Why use it?
It keeps the written requirements and the code aligned as implementation changes, so the finished work remains tied to the approved design.

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-specs 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.

implement-specs

Implement an approved feature from PRODUCT.md and TECH.md.

Overview

Use this skill after the product and tech specs are approved. The goal is to build the feature described by the specs while keeping the checked-in specs and the implementation aligned as the work evolves.

Approved specs should live directly under a ticket-named directory in specs/, for example specs/APP-1234/PRODUCT.md and specs/APP-1234/TECH.md.

In many cases, the implementation should be pushed in the same PR as the product and tech specs. As the engineer iterates, changes to PRODUCT.md, TECH.md, and the code should all be pushed in that same PR so review stays anchored to the feature that will actually ship.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill:

  • confirm that PRODUCT.md exists
  • confirm that TECH.md exists when the feature warranted one
  • confirm that the relevant specs have been reviewed and approved enough to start implementation

Workflow

1. Read the approved specs first

Treat:

  • PRODUCT.md as the source of truth for user-facing behavior
  • TECH.md as the source of truth for architecture, sequencing, and implementation shape

Make sure you understand the expected behavior, constraints, risks, and validation plan before writing code.

2. Offer optional implementation aids for large features

For large or long-running features, optionally offer one of these aids to the user before implementation begins:

  • PROJECT_LOG.md to track checkpoints, explored paths, partial findings, and current implementation state
  • DECISIONS.md to capture concrete product and technical decisions made during the PRD and tech design process

These are optional aids, not required deliverables. Offer them when they would reduce confusion or help future agents avoid re-exploring the same paths.

3. Plan and implement against the specs

Break the work into concrete implementation steps, then implement the feature against the approved specs.

During implementation:

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-specs is a skill published in the GitHub repository warpdotdev/common-skills (413 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 787 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
