Implement

Implement

Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets. Use when an agreed spec or ticket set should now be built. Triggers on: implement, build this spec, work these tickets.

This skill is imported from mattpocock/skills (MIT) and is user-invoked upstream.

When to use this skill

• Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.
• Use when an agreed spec or ticket set should now be built.
• Triggers on: implement, build this spec, work these tickets.

Instructions

Implement the work described by the user in the spec or tickets.

Use /tdd where possible, at pre-agreed seams.

Run typechecking regularly, single test files regularly, and the full test suite once at the end.

Once done, use /code-review to review the work.

Commit your work to the current branch.

Examples

• Apply this skill to one narrow scope first, confirm the output matches the shape described above, then widen to the full task.
• When a step needs a fact from the repository or the environment, look it up instead of asking the user for it.

Best practices

• Keep the upstream procedure intact; record deviations explicitly instead of silently improvising.
• Stop and hand control back to the user at every decision point this skill marks as theirs.
• Prefer small reversible changes, and state assumptions rather than burying them.
