Implementation strategy selection framework. Use when planning implementation strategy, selecting development approach, or defining verification criteria.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Implementation Strategy Selection Framework (Meta-cognitive Approach) ## Meta-cognitive Strategy Selection Process ### Phase 1: Comprehensive Current State Analysis **Core Question**: "What does the existing implementation look like?" #### Analysis Framework ```yaml Architecture Analysis: Responsibility separation, data flow, dependencies, technical debt Implementation Quality Assessment: Code quality, test coverage, performance, security Historical Context Understanding: Current form rationale, past decision validity, constraint changes, requirement evolution ``` #### Meta-cognitive Question List - What is the true responsibility of this implementation? - Which parts are business essence and which derive from technical constraints? - What dependencies or implicit preconditions are unclear from the code? - What benefits and constraints does the current design bring? ### Phase 2: Design Convergence Complete these steps in order before selecting an implementation strategy: 1. **Direct MVP**: Describe the simplest end-to-end design that delivers the current required outcome using existing system capabilities. Explicit user requirements and confirmed decisions are binding; technical

What does the implementation-approach skill do?
Implementation strategy selection framework. Use when planning implementation strategy, selecting development approach, or defining verification criteria.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add shinpr/claude-code-workflows --skill implementation-approach --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From shinpr/claude-code-workflows, a repository with 664 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
