Implement Direct

Implement Direct

Implement a small, well-defined issue directly — no planning phase, no task tracker.

Resolve Issue Number

The user may provide an issue number as the argument (available as $ARGUMENTS). If no issue number is provided:

1. Read .vscodeclaude_status.txt and extract the issue number from the Issue #NNN line
2. If the file doesn't exist or has no issue number, ask the user

Steps

1. Fetch issue details Call mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view with the issue number. Read the issue title, description, and acceptance criteria carefully.

2. Checkout/create issue branch

   mcp-coder gh-tool checkout-issue-branch <issue_number>
   

3. Understand context

   • Read relevant source files referenced in the issue
   • Understand the existing code patterns and conventions
   • Identify the minimal set of changes needed

4. Implement changes

   • Make the required code changes directly
   • Follow existing code patterns and conventions
   • Keep changes focused and minimal — only what the issue requires

5. Run quality checks

   • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_pylint_check — fix all issues
   • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_pytest_check (with extra_args: ["-n", "auto"]) — fix all failures
   • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_mypy_check — fix all issues
   • mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_ruff_check — fix all issues

6. Format code Use mcp__mcp-tools-py__run_format_code to format all code (black + isort).

7. Update issue status

   mcp-coder gh-tool set-status status-07:code-review
   

8. Suggest follow-up steps

   • /commit_push — commit and push changes
   • /check_branch_status — verify branch is clean
   • /implementation_review — request a review of the implementation

Scope Guidance

This skill is designed for small, well-defined issues that can be implemented in a single pass. If the issue is complex or involves multiple components, recommend the full workflow instead:

1. /create_plan — create a detailed implementation plan
2. /implement — implement the plan step by step

Note: This skill has disable-model-invocation — it can only be run by the user typing /implement_direct.
