A skill your agent uses when given a GitHub issue number and base branch to implement end-to-end

What it does

Implement Issue is an agent skill from aaddrick/claude-pipeline. Use when given a GitHub issue number and base branch to implement end-to-end

Its SKILL.md is about 890 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 GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Portable Claude Code multi-agent pipeline - skills, agents, hooks, orchestration scripts, and quality gates. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Given a GitHub issue number and base branch to implement end-to-end

Example prompts

  • “/implement-issue”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 402eac7. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • claude

    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 Issue loads about 889 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~889

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 Issue

End-to-end issue implementation via orchestrator script.

Announce at start: "Using implement-issue to run orchestrator for #$ISSUE against $BRANCH"

Arguments:

  • $1 — GitHub issue number (required)
  • $2 — Base branch name (required)

Invocation

Immediately launch the orchestrator:

bash
.claude/scripts/implement-issue-orchestrator.sh \
  --issue $ISSUE_NUMBER \
  --branch $BASE_BRANCH

Or with explicit agent override:

bash
.claude/scripts/implement-issue-orchestrator.sh \
  --issue $ISSUE_NUMBER \
  --branch $BASE_BRANCH \
  --agent bulletproof-frontend-developer

Monitoring

Each run creates its own status.json inside the log directory:

bash
# Find the latest run's status file
jq . logs/implement-issue/issue-${ISSUE_NUMBER}-*/status.json

Watch live:

bash
# Replace with your actual log dir path (shown at startup)
watch -n 5 'jq -c "{state,stage:.current_stage,task:.current_task,quality:.quality_iterations}" logs/implement-issue/issue-123-20260221-153045-12345/status.json'

Available Implementation Agents

The plan stage selects the best agent per task from:

AgentUse For
laravel-backend-developerPHP/Laravel: controllers, models, services, middleware, migrations, API, PHPUnit
bulletproof-frontend-developerCSS, responsive design, Blade templates, frontend code
bash-script-craftsmanShell scripts, portability, BATS tests
technical-doc-writerArchitecture docs, design docs, data flows, API contracts in docs/{domain}/

Schemas

Located in .claude/scripts/schemas/implement-issue-*.json

Logging

Logs written to logs/implement-issue/issue-N-timestamp/:

  • orchestrator.log — main log
  • stages/ — per-stage Claude output
  • context/ — parsed outputs (tasks.json, etc.)
  • status.json — real-time status (primary location, no root-level status.json)

Exit Codes

CodeMeaning
0Success, PR created and approved
1Error during a stage
2Max iterations exceeded
3Configuration/argument error

CLI Session Isolation

All claude -p invocations in orchestrator scripts must use --no-resume to prevent session context contamination. Without it, the CLI may resume a cached session and the model will return "already processed" instead of following the schema prompt — causing "No structured output" failures.

Exception: Explicit --resume $SESSION_ID after rate limit recovery is intentional and correct.

Integration

Called by handle-issues via batch-orchestrator.sh.
