At a glance

Start implementation for a GitHub issue. An agent skill from NTCoding/living-architecture.

  • Explicitly invokes $dev-workflow-start-implementation with an issue number
  • Calls pnpm and git

What it does

Dev Workflow Start Implementation is an agent skill from NTCoding/living-architecture. Start implementation for a GitHub issue. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $dev-workflow-start-implementation with an issue number.

Its SKILL.md is about 190 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Extra software architecture from your code as living documentation. AI-assisted. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly invokes $dev-workflow-start-implementation with an issue number

Example prompts

  • “/dev-workflow-start-implementation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a24bc9f. 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:

    • pnpm
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Dev Workflow Start Implementation loads about 193 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 46 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~193

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
Start implementation for a GitHub issue. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $dev-workflow-start-implementation with an issue number.

Start Implementation

Use the supplied issue number. Follow the canonical procedure in the plugin's commands/start-implementation.md exactly, with this Codex-specific replacement for its two Claude workflow commands:

bash
pnpm --dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/tools/dev-workflow-v2" run codex-workflow init
pnpm --dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/tools/dev-workflow-v2" run codex-workflow record-issue <issue-number>

The shared command reads Codex's CODEX_THREAD_ID. Do not read a session ID from hook output or substitute any other value.
