Implement

Implement

Execute one vertical slice at a time: implement → build clean → code review → SVN commit. Never pile up changes across multiple slices before reviewing.

Core Loop

SLICE: implement change
BUILD: ./build.sh  →  must compile with zero new errors/warnings
REVIEW: invoke /review skill  →  fix Critical + Important issues
COMMIT: svn commit -m "feat/fix: <description>"

Repeat per slice. Do not proceed to the next slice until the current one is committed.

Anti-Pattern: Big-Bang Implementation

Do NOT implement multiple tasks, then build, then review everything at once.

WRONG:
  change1 + change2 + change3 → build → one big review → commit

RIGHT:
  change1 → build → review → commit
  change2 → build → review → commit
  change3 → build → review → commit

Big-bang implementations fail review for reasons that cascade. Small slices = small reviews = faster iteration.

Planning the Slice

Before writing any code for a task:

• Read the relevant files: sdp definitions, CmdParser handler, Logic Manager
• Understand what currently exists — don't duplicate or conflict
• Identify the vertical path: sdp → Logic → CmdParser → response
• Confirm the slice boundaries with the plan

C++ Game Server Checklist

Before building, verify:

• All subtraction uses SafeSub(value, sub) — no -- or -=
• All map lookups use FindMapPtr — no raw .find() + iterator compare
• setChanged() called after every data modification that needs persistence
• sendResponse() only in CmdParser layer — never inside Logic/Manager
• All control flow bodies (if/for/while) use full brace blocks, braces on their own lines
• New CS/SC commands registered in CommandRegister.h via REGISTER_COMMAND
• Integer variables use int32_t for iRet (not uint32_t)
• Error codes use ERR_ prefix, propagated via if (iRet != 0) { return iRet; }
• Protocol IDs are unique — check the surrounding CmdId enum range before assigning

Build

cd <workdir> && ./build.sh

Expected: clean compilation, no new warnings. Fix any warnings before proceeding to review.

After Build — Request Review

Invoke the /review skill. Pass:

• DESCRIPTION: what this slice implements
• BASE_REV: the SVN revision before your changes
• HEAD_REV: current revision (or use svn diff for uncommitted changes)

Fix all Critical issues immediately. Fix all Important issues before committing. Log Minor issues for later.

Commit

svn commit -m "<type>: <concise description>"

Commit types: feat (new feature), fix (bug fix), refactor (no behavior change), docs (documentation).

Refactor (optional, after all slices committed)

After all slices are done:

• Extract duplicated logic
• Simplify complex functions
• Verify naming conventions (m_ prefix, i/b/s/v/st/p prefixes, PascalCase classes)
• Build clean after each change
• Request review for the refactor batch
