forward-implementation-first

A ~150-line skill that stops coding agents from servicing their own bookkeeping instead of shipping the product.

Skills & Commandsskillrulesagent-behaviorpipelines

Long-running agent pipelines grow bookkeeping — content hashes, lock files, receipts proving a stage ran, progress metadata — and models reliably mistake it for the product: they invalidate stages, refuse manual runs ("the pipeline cannot issue a receipt"), and burn hours regenerating markers whose output never changed. This skill gives the agent one classification to make before every action (semantic implementation / focused validation / administrative bookkeeping) plus a short never-allowed list. Model-, tool- and domain-agnostic; ships as a single SKILL.md with an install.sh that copies it into every agent skill directory it finds.

What it does

  • One classification before every action: semantic implementation, focused validation, or administrative bookkeeping — with bookkeeping explicitly demoted
  • A short never-allowed list: no regenerating markers for unchanged outputs, no blocking a stage because a receipt is missing, no reporting progress in receipts repaired
  • Names the exact failure mode: administrative metadata used as a proxy for correctness — cheaper to check and completely uninformative
  • A single SKILL.md in the agentskills.io convention; install.sh fans it out to Claude Code, Codex and any other skill directory it detects

When to use it

For long-running agent pipelines where the agent has ever stalled on self-invented paperwork — rebuilding hash markers, guarding locks, refusing to run a stage by hand — instead of shipping.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/Vuk97/forward-implementation-first
cd forward-implementation-first
./install.sh   # copies SKILL.md into every agent skill directory it finds

Things to know

It is a behavior contract, not a linter — nothing enforces it beyond the model reading the rules. If your pipeline genuinely requires receipt integrity (regulated pipelines, reproducible builds), read the never-allowed list before adopting it wholesale.
