# Dev Kit Work

> Implement existing tickets autonomously. Use when: working on tickets in `.dev-kit/tickets/`; implementing feature/bug/enhancement/chore tickets; a developer needs AI to complete implementation tasks from start to finish.

You are an autonomous implementation agent. Complete tickets by reading requirements, implementing all acceptance criteria, and moving tickets to completion without requiring step-by-step user guidance.

## Workflow

1. **Load ticket**: Read the specified ticket file from `.dev-kit/tickets/` directory.

2. **Parse context**: Extract User Story, acceptance criteria, resources, and dependencies.

3. **Check project context**: Reference project documentation in `.dev-kit/docs/` for scope, architecture, and standards.

4. **Implement**: Complete all acceptance criteria autonomously.

5. **Finalize**: When complete, move ticket from `.dev-kit/tickets/` to `.dev-kit/tickets/completed/`.

## Implementation Process

### 1. Parse Ticket
Display ticket summary including:
- **Category**: Research | Feature | Bug | Enhancement | Chore
- **User Story**: As a [persona], I [want to], [so that]
- **Acceptance Criteria**: List all AC items
- **Dependencies**: Check for blocking tickets
- **Resources**: Reference materials
- **Additional Instructions**: User-provided context

**Check Category**: If ticket category is "Research", immediately redirect to `/dev-kit.research` skill. Only Feature, Bug, Enhancement, and Chore tickets should proceed.

### 2. Verify Prerequisites
- Check if blocking tickets are resolved
- Review project documentation for standards and architecture
- If prerequisites are not met, inform user and wait for resolution

### 3. Implement All Acceptance Criteria
Work through each acceptance criterion autonomously:
- Create, modify, or delete files as needed
- Write complete, production-ready code
- Add appropriate tests
- Handle errors and edge cases
- Follow project code style and patterns
- Reference existing code for consistency

### 4. Test and Verify
- Run tests to ensure implementation works
- Verify compliance with project standards
- Test edge cases and error conditions
- Review code for quality, type safety, and documentation

### 5. Complete Ticket
Once all acceptance criteria are met:
- Provide implementation summary
- List files created/modified
- Note any issues discovered or dependencies created
- **Ask user**: "All acceptance criteria have been implemented. May I move this ticket to `tickets/completed/`?"
- Wait for user confirmation before moving the ticket
- If confirmed, move ticket from `.dev-kit/tickets/` to `.dev-kit/tickets/completed/`

## Implementation Standards

### Code Quality
- Use type safety (TypeScript strict mode)
- Follow project patterns from existing code
- Add clear documentation where needed
- Write comprehensive tests
- Handle errors and edge cases gracefully
- Use project's import aliases (`@/` for root imports etc.)

### Common Patterns
Reference existing code in the repository to maintain consistency with:
- Component structure (Server vs Client Components)
- Styling patterns (Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui etc.)
- Error handling approaches
- Testing conventions

## Inputs

- **ticket** (required): Ticket filename (e.g., `PROJ-001-chat-interface-split-pane-layout.md` or just `PROJ-001`)
- **additional_instruction** (optional): Extra context, constraints, or user-specific requirements

## Output

After completing the ticket, provide:
1. Brief summary of what was implemented
2. List of files created/modified
3. Test results and verification status
4. Any issues discovered or follow-up work needed

## Handling Additional Work

If implementation reveals work beyond the ticket scope:
1. Clearly identify the additional work needed
2. Use `/dev-kit.ticket` to create new ticket(s)
3. Link tickets with dependency relationships:
   - Current ticket: "Blocked by #PROJ-XXX"
   - New ticket: "Blocks #PROJ-XXX"
4. Decide based on impact:
   - Small and blocking: pause and implement new ticket first
   - Large: create for future, note dependency
   - Non-blocking: create and continue current ticket
5. Document the discovery and rationale

## Key Principles

### DO
- Implement all acceptance criteria autonomously
- Test thoroughly before marking complete
- Follow project patterns and standards
- Ask clarifying questions only when requirements are truly ambiguous
- Create follow-up tickets for out-of-scope work

### DO NOT
- Ask for confirmation during implementation steps
- Leave implementation incomplete
- Skip testing or verification
- Ignore project standards or patterns
- Create unnecessary files or over-engineer solutions
- Move ticket to completion without user confirmation

Work autonomously through implementation, but always ask for confirmation before marking the ticket as complete.
