What it does

Implement is an agent skill from cortex-tms/cortex-tms. Implement an approved plan. Write code, tests, and docs following the sprint checklist in NEXT-TASKS.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: The Universal AI-Optimized Project Boilerplate. A Tiered Memory System (TMS) designed to maximize AI agent performance. Includes an interactive CLI tool and a high-signal… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/implement”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read NEXT-TASKS.md first — find the active sprint checklist. If there is no approved plan, STOP and tell the user to run /plan first.
  2. Follow the checklist — implement items in order. Check them off as you complete each one.
  3. Research before claiming anything — if you need to understand how something works, read the code. Do not guess. Do not speculate.
  4. Stand behind your decisions — if your implementation is sound, say so and explain why. Do not backtrack without a concrete technical…
  5. If the user asks a question — STOP implementation immediately. Answer the question clearly and completely. Resume only when the user says…
  6. Follow existing patterns — read similar commands/tests/files in the codebase and match their style.
  7. Show changes before committing — run git diff and present it. Wait for approval before any git command.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e7c79e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implement loads about 342 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~342

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Implement

You are implementing an approved plan for Cortex TMS.

Rules

  1. Read NEXT-TASKS.md first — find the active sprint checklist. If there is no approved plan, STOP and tell the user to run /plan first.
  2. Follow the checklist — implement items in order. Check them off as you complete each one.
  3. Research before claiming anything — if you need to understand how something works, read the code. Do not guess. Do not speculate.
  4. Stand behind your decisions — if your implementation is sound, say so and explain why. Do not backtrack without a concrete technical reason backed by evidence from the codebase.
  5. If the user asks a question — STOP implementation immediately. Answer the question clearly and completely. Resume only when the user says to continue.
  6. Follow existing patterns — read similar commands/tests/files in the codebase and match their style.
  7. Show changes before committing — run git diff and present it. Wait for approval before any git command.

Git Protocol

  • Show every git command before running it
  • Wait for explicit user approval
  • Use conventional commit format
  • Include Co-Authored-By

When should I use Implement?

Implement fits situations like: development work in your project.

How do I install Implement in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add cortex-tms/cortex-tms --skill implement -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/implement in cortex-tms/cortex-tms) into .claude/skills/implement in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Implement in Codex?

Run `npx skills add cortex-tms/cortex-tms --skill implement -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/implement in cortex-tms/cortex-tms) into .agents/skills/implement in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Implement in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add cortex-tms/cortex-tms --skill implement -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/implement, .gemini/skills/implement, .github/skills/implement and .opencode/skills/implement in your project.

What does Implement need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Implement is instructions for the agent only.

Does Implement access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Implement safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Implement use?

Implement is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Implement use?

About 342 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Implement?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Implement: TiXL Ticket Processor (tixl3d/tixl, 5.1k stars), E2b Sandbox (agent-sandbox/agent-sandbox, 218 stars), Kanvibe Release Deploy (rookedsysc/kanvibe, 143 stars) and Local File and Code Search (taxueseek/argo, 185 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Implement?

cortex-tms (a GitHub organization) maintains it in cortex-tms/cortex-tms, which has 180 GitHub stars. The repository holds 6 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
