Skill Neovim Implementation

Neovim Implementation Skill

Thin wrapper that delegates Neovim implementation to neovim-implementation-agent subagent.

IMPORTANT: This skill implements the skill-internal postflight pattern. After the subagent returns, this skill handles all postflight operations (status update, artifact linking, git commit) before returning.

Context References

Reference (do not load eagerly):

• Path: .opencode/context/core/formats/return-metadata-file.md - Metadata file schema
• Path: .opencode/context/core/patterns/postflight-control.md - Marker file protocol
• Path: .opencode/context/core/patterns/jq-escaping-workarounds.md - jq escaping patterns

Trigger Conditions

This skill activates when:

• Task language is "neovim"
• Implementation plan exists for the task
• Neovim configuration changes need to be applied

Execution Flow

Stage 1: Input Validation

Validate required inputs:

• task_number - Must be provided and exist in state.json
• plan_path - Implementation plan must exist

# Lookup task
task_data=$(jq -r --argjson num "$task_number" \
  '.active_projects[] | select(.project_number == $num)' \
  specs/state.json)

# Validate exists
if [ -z "$task_data" ]; then
  return error "Task $task_number not found"
fi

# Extract fields
language=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.language // "neovim"')
status=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.status')
project_name=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.project_name')

# Find plan file (use padded directory number)
padded_num=$(printf "%03d" "$task_number")
plan_path="specs/OC_${padded_num}_${project_name}/plans/implementation-001.md"
if [ ! -f "$plan_path" ]; then
  return error "Plan not found: $plan_path"
fi

Stage 2: Preflight Status Update

Update task status to "implementing" BEFORE invoking subagent.

bash .opencode/scripts/update-task-status.sh preflight "$task_number" implement "$session_id"

Stage 3: Create Postflight Marker

mkdir -p "specs/OC_${padded_num}_${project_name}"

cat > "specs/OC_${padded_num}_${project_name}/.postflight-pending" << EOF
{
  "session_id": "${session_id}",
  "skill": "skill-neovim-implementation",
  "task_number": ${task_number},
  "operation": "implement",
  "reason": "Postflight pending: status update, artifact linking, git commit",
  "created": "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
}
EOF

Stage 4: Prepare Delegation Context

{
  "session_id": "sess_{timestamp}_{random}",
  "delegation_depth": 1,
  "delegation_path": ["orchestrator", "implement", "skill-neovim-implementation"],
  "timeout": 3600,
  "task_context": {
    "task_number": N,
    "task_name": "{project_name}",
    "description": "{description}",
    "language": "neovim"
  },
  "plan_path": "specs/OC_{NNN}_{SLUG}/plans/implementation-001.md",
  "metadata_file_path": "specs/OC_{NNN}_{SLUG}/.return-meta.json"
}

Stage 5: Invoke Subagent

CRITICAL: You MUST use the Task tool to spawn the subagent.

Tool: Task (NOT Skill)
Parameters:
  - subagent_type: "neovim-implementation-agent"
  - prompt: [Include task_context, delegation_context, plan_path, metadata_file_path]
  - description: "Execute Neovim implementation for task {N}"

The subagent will:

• Read and parse implementation plan
• Execute phases sequentially
• Create/modify Neovim config files
• Verify changes with nvim --headless
• Create implementation summary
• Write metadata file
• Return brief text summary

Stage 5a: Validate Subagent Return Format

IMPORTANT: Check if subagent accidentally returned JSON to console (v1 pattern) instead of writing to file (v2 pattern).

If the subagent's text return parses as valid JSON, log a warning:

# Check if subagent return looks like JSON (starts with { and is valid JSON)
subagent_return="$SUBAGENT_TEXT_RETURN"
if echo "$subagent_return" | grep -q '^{' && echo "$subagent_return" | jq empty 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "WARNING: Subagent returned JSON to console instead of writing metadata file."
    echo "This indicates the agent may have outdated instructions (v1 pattern instead of v2)."
    echo "The skill will continue by reading the metadata file, but this should be fixed."
fi

This validation:

• Does NOT fail the operation (continues to read metadata file)
• Logs a warning for debugging
• Indicates the subagent instructions need updating
• Allows graceful handling of mixed v1/v2 agents

Stage 6: Parse Subagent Return

metadata_file="specs/OC_${padded_num}_${project_name}/.return-meta.json"

if [ -f "$metadata_file" ] && jq empty "$metadata_file" 2>/dev/null; then
    status=$(jq -r '.status' "$metadata_file")
    phases_completed=$(jq -r '.metadata.phases_completed // 0' "$metadata_file")
    phases_total=$(jq -r '.metadata.phases_total // 0' "$metadata_file")

    # Extract completion_data fields (if present)
    completion_summary=$(jq -r '.completion_data.completion_summary // ""' "$metadata_file")
    roadmap_items=$(jq -c '.completion_data.roadmap_items // []' "$metadata_file")
else
    status="failed"
fi

Stage 7: Update Task Status (Postflight)

If status is "implemented":

bash .opencode/scripts/update-task-status.sh postflight "$task_number" implement "$session_id"

Then add completion_data to state.json (not covered by centralized script):

# Add completion_summary if present
if [ -n "$completion_summary" ]; then
    jq --arg summary "$completion_summary" \
      '(.active_projects[] | select(.project_number == '$task_number')).completion_summary = $summary' \
      specs/state.json > specs/tmp/state.json && mv specs/tmp/state.json specs/state.json
fi

# Add roadmap_items if present (for non-meta tasks only)
if [ "$task_type" != "meta" ] && [ "$roadmap_items" != "[]" ] && [ -n "$roadmap_items" ]; then
    jq --argjson items "$roadmap_items" \
      '(.active_projects[] | select(.project_number == '$task_number')).roadmap_items = $items' \
      specs/state.json > specs/tmp/state.json && mv specs/tmp/state.json specs/state.json
fi

If status is "partial":

Keep status as "implementing" but update resume point:

jq --arg ts "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" \
   --argjson phase "$phases_completed" \
  '(.active_projects[] | select(.project_number == '$task_number')) |= . + {
    last_updated: $ts,
    resume_phase: ($phase + 1)
  }' specs/state.json > specs/tmp/state.json && mv specs/tmp/state.json specs/state.json

TODO.md stays as [IMPLEMENTING].

Update plan file (if exists): Update the Status field to [PARTIAL]:

.opencode/scripts/update-plan-status.sh "$task_number" "$project_name" "PARTIAL"

On failed: Keep status as "implementing" for retry. Do not update plan file (leave as [IMPLEMENTING] for retry).

Stage 8: Link Artifacts

Add implementation artifacts to state.json.

Stage 9: Git Commit

git add -A
git commit -m "task ${task_number}: complete implementation

Session: ${session_id}

Stage 10: Cleanup

rm -f "specs/OC_${padded_num}_${project_name}/.postflight-pending"
rm -f "specs/OC_${padded_num}_${project_name}/.return-meta.json"

Stage 11: Return Brief Summary

Implementation completed for task {N}:
- Executed {phases_completed}/{phases_total} phases
- Created/modified Neovim config files
- Verified startup and module loading
- Created summary at specs/{NNN}_{SLUG}/summaries/implementation-summary-{DATE}.md
- Status updated to [COMPLETED]
- Changes committed

Error Handling

Plan Not Found

Return error if implementation plan doesn't exist.

Verification Failure

If nvim --headless fails:

1. Keep status as "implementing"
2. Mark phase as [PARTIAL]
3. Report verification error

Git Commit Failure

Non-blocking: Log failure but continue.

Return Format

Brief text summary (NOT JSON).
