implementation-approach SKILL.md skillA

implementation-approach from shinpr/agentic-code is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add shinpr/agentic-code/implementation-approach@git:20261103.998947c

Pins git:20261103.998947c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Selects the smallest sufficient implementation strategy and verification boundary from current requirements and repository evidence.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Implementation Approach

## Strategy Selection

Use this sequence when a design or task needs an implementation approach:

1. **Current evidence**: Inspect the relevant responsibility, data or control path, representative repository pattern, and constraints that can change the choice.
2. **Direct implementation**: Describe the simplest end-to-end change that delivers the outcome through the existing architecture and dependencies.
3. **Failure check**: Test the direct implementation against current requirements, verified constraints, observed problems, and evidence-backed material risks within scope.
4. **Targeted expansion**: Add only what resolves a failed item. Compare the smaller design with and without the addition.
5. **Value and subtraction check**: Retain an addition only when evidence shows that its outcome benefit justifies its implementation, testing, documentation, runtime, and maintenance cost.

Possible future reuse, generic best practice, speculative edge cases, and optional hardening are not failed items. File count is supporting evidence, not a strategy rule.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add shinpr/agentic-code/implementation-approach@sha256:95771866bb5ce921

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.998947c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
