# Implementation Agent Terra Model Implementation Plan > **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. **Goal:** Configure the project-local `implementation-agent` to use `gpt-5.6-terra` while preserving its existing reasoning effort. **Architecture:** Add one explicit model override to the existing Implementation Agent TOML profile. Do not introduce shared model policy, modify other profiles, or change the agent's instructions. **Tech Stack:** TOML, Python 3 `tomllib`, Git ## Global Constraints - Set `model` to exactly `gpt-5.6-terra` only in `.codex/agents/implementation-agent.toml`. - Preserve `model_reasoning_effort = "extra high"`. - Do not modify other custom agents, user-global Codex configuration, solver production code, or agent instructions. - Do not add or modify contract tests or other test files. - Verify the change only through TOML parsing, exact-value assertions, and Git diff inspection. --- ### Task 1: Add the Implementation Agent model override **Files:** - Modify: `.codex/agents/implementation-agent.toml` - Test: none, per the approved design **Interfaces:** - Consumes: the existing project-local `implementation-agent` TOML profile - Produces: `model = "gpt-5.6-terra"` with the existing `model_reasoning_effort = "extra high"` - [ ] **Step 1: Add the model setting** Insert the model key between `sandbox_mode` and `model_reasoning_effort` so the profile header is: ```toml name = "implementation-agent" description = "Implements FESA solver features in C++17/MSVC by following approved TDD-first implementation plans." sandbox_mode = "workspace-write" model = "gpt-5.6-terra" model_reasoning_effort = "extra high" ``` - [ ] **Step 2: Parse the profile and verify the exact values** Run: ```powershell python -c "import pathlib, tomllib; p = tomllib.loads(pathlib.Path('.codex/agents/implementation-agent.toml').read_text(encoding='utf-8')); assert p['model'] == 'gpt-5.6-terra'; assert p['model_reasoning_effort'] == 'extra high'" ``` Expected: exit code `0` with no output. - [ ] **Step 3: Verify the change is surgical** Run: ```powershell git diff --check git diff -- .codex/agents/implementation-agent.toml ``` Expected: no whitespace errors, and the profile diff contains only the added `model = "gpt-5.6-terra"` line. - [ ] **Step 4: Commit the configuration change** ```powershell git add -- .codex/agents/implementation-agent.toml git commit -m "chore: use Terra for implementation agent" ```
