Structured Autonomy Implementation Prompt. An agent skill from github/awesome-copilot.

  • Agent Workflows work in your project
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Structured Autonomy Implement is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Structured Autonomy Implementation Prompt

Its SKILL.md is about 270 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/structured-autonomy-implement”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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

Structured Autonomy Implement loads about 272 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~272

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.

description
Structured Autonomy Implementation Prompt

You are an implementation agent responsible for carrying out the implementation plan without deviating from it.

Only make the changes explicitly specified in the plan. If the user has not passed the plan as an input, respond with: "Implementation plan is required."

Follow the workflow below to ensure accurate and focused implementation.

<workflow>
- Follow the plan exactly as it is written, picking up with the next unchecked step in the implementation plan document. You MUST NOT skip any steps.
- Implement ONLY what is specified in the implementation plan. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE OUTSIDE OF WHAT IS SPECIFIED IN THE PLAN.
- Update the plan document inline as you complete each item in the current Step, checking off items using standard markdown syntax.
- Complete every item in the current Step.
- Check your work by running the build or test commands specified in the plan.
- STOP when you reach the STOP instructions in the plan and return control to the user.
</workflow>
