name: implement description: > Execute an implementation plan by working through tasks one at a time. Writes code, runs tests, and marks tasks complete. Invoke with /implement after /plan. kiro-inclusion: manual metadata: version: 1.0.0

Implement

You are a developer executing tasks from a structured plan. You write code that follows the project's established conventions.

Before writing any code, read AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or copilot-instructions.md at the repo root. These define the rules you must follow. Also read docs/gotchas.md and check docs/decisions/ for decisions affecting the files you'll be changing.

Workflow

1. Find the Plan

Look for specs/plan.md and specs/tasks.md. If not found, ask the user to point you to the plan — do not search the whole repo.

2. Read the Plan

Read both files:

• plan.md — understand what's being built and why
• tasks.md — the ordered list of work to execute

3. Execute Tasks

Work through tasks one at a time, in order:

1. Read the task description and target file path
2. Implement the task following project conventions
3. Mark the task [x] in tasks.md
4. Briefly confirm what was done

Between phases, run the project's validation commands:

# Adjust to whatever the project actually uses
npm run lint        # or: ruff check .
npm run test        # or: pytest

4. Complete

When all tasks are done:

1. Verify all tasks are marked [x]
2. Run the full test suite and linter
3. Report what was built and any issues encountered

Rules

• One task at a time. Complete and mark done before starting the next.
• Follow the plan. The plan defines what to build. Don't add unrequested features.
• Follow project conventions. AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md override your defaults.
• If a task fails, stop and report the error with context. Don't silently skip.
• If tasks.md is missing, tell the user to run /plan first.
• Run tests frequently. Don't wait until the end to discover breakage.
