| 2 | +name: implement |
| 3 | +description: Autonomously implement what was just written — an /explore exploration, a plan, or a spec in the conversation. Use when the user says "implement it", "build it", "ship it", "do it", "make it so", "implement this exploration/plan", or "this looks good, go". Works on a new branch, checks off checklist items and commits as it goes, opens a PR, and merges to main. |
| 4 | +--- |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +# Implement it |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Take whatever was just written — usually an `/explore` doc in |
| 9 | +`docs/explorations/`, sometimes a plan or spec in the conversation — and |
| 10 | +**build the whole thing**: new branch, check off each checklist item and |
| 11 | +commit as you go, open a PR, get it green, merge to `main`. Aim to |
| 12 | +complete everything, not a slice. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +> The spirit: _"This looks good. Implement it. Work on a new branch, |
| 15 | +> check off checklist items and commit as you go. Make a PR when |
| 16 | +> everything is complete and merge it into main. Try to complete |
| 17 | +> everything."_ |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | +The bookkeeping (find the doc, track checklist progress, flip boxes, |
| 20 | +mark the doc done) is handled by a zero-dep driver. **You** write the |
| 21 | +code; the driver is your hands for the mechanical parts. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +> Paths below are relative to the **repo root**. The driver lives at |
| 24 | +> `.claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs`. |
| 25 | +
|
| 26 | +## The loop |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +1. **Identify the spec.** If it's an exploration, get its path: |
| 29 | + ```bash |
| 30 | + node .claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs find # highest-numbered unimplemented [_] doc |
| 31 | + node .claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs find turso # or match by number/title |
| 32 | + ``` |
| 33 | + If the spec is a conversation plan or some other doc, use that as the |
| 34 | + checklist source instead — the rest of the loop is identical (skip the |
| 35 | + doc-rename in step 6). |
| 36 | +2. **Branch.** Off the latest `main`: |
| 37 | + ```bash |
| 38 | + git fetch origin && git switch -c "$(node .claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs branch <doc>)" origin/main |
| 39 | + ``` |
| 40 | +3. **See what's left** and work the items top to bottom: |
| 41 | + ```bash |
| 42 | + node .claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs status <doc> |
| 43 | + ``` |
| 44 | +4. **For each Implementation item:** write the code (read neighbors |
| 45 | + first, match the package's patterns), then prove it — `pnpm --filter |
| 46 | +<pkg> test`, `pnpm typecheck`. When it's actually done, flip the box |
| 47 | + and commit: |
| 48 | + ```bash |
| 49 | + node .claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs check <doc> "Add a per-cell lock" |
| 50 | + git add -A && git commit -m "feat(scope): <what landed>" |
| 51 | + ``` |
| 52 | + One commit per item (or per coherent group). Conventional-commit |
| 53 | + prefixes are enforced by `commit-msg`. |
| 54 | +5. **Validation checklist:** run each check, flip its box as it passes. |
| 55 | +6. **Mark the doc done** once `status` shows 0 remaining (skip if the |
| 56 | + spec wasn't an exploration): |
| 57 | + ```bash |
| 58 | + node .claude/skills/implement/driver.mjs done <doc> # renames [_] -> [x], prints the commit msg |
| 59 | + git add -A && git commit -m "docs(exploration): check off <topic>" |
| 60 | + ``` |
| 61 | +7. **Ship it** — see below. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Setup (once per fresh worktree) |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +`node_modules` is usually **absent** in a worktree. The driver and |
| 66 | +changelog script are zero-dep, but `pnpm test`/`typecheck`/`lint` need: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +```bash |
| 69 | +pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline # ~18s |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +## Driver commands |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | +find [query] highest-numbered [_] doc, or match by number/title |
| 76 | +status <doc> Implementation/Validation progress + remaining items |
| 77 | +check <doc> "<substring>" flip the one unchecked item containing <substring> |
| 78 | +done <doc> rename [_] -> [x] (refuses if any box is unchecked) |
| 79 | +branch <doc> suggest a branch name (claude/NNNN-slug) |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +`check` and `find` **error on ambiguity** — pass a longer, unique |
| 83 | +substring (or the full number) and they resolve. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +## Ship it (PR + merge to main) |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +Every PR must satisfy the `changelog-section` required check. Add a |
| 88 | +user-facing fragment (or the `skip-changelog` label for pure |
| 89 | +refactors/chores/CI): |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```bash |
| 92 | +node scripts/changelog/new.mjs --title "Deals now sync after import" \ |
| 93 | + --summary "Importing contacts no longer creates duplicate deals." --tags crm |
| 94 | +git add -A && git commit -m "docs(changelog): add fragment" |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Valid `--tags`: `app, crm, finance, tasks, ai, plugins, editor, sync, |
| 98 | +identity, platform, performance, devtools, ci`. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Push, open the PR, wait for the required checks, merge: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +```bash |
| 103 | +git push -u origin HEAD # add --no-verify only if a known-flaky pre-push hook blocks |
| 104 | +gh pr create --fill |
| 105 | +gh pr checks <N> --watch # required: editor-ux, lint, test (1/3..3/3), typecheck, changelog-section |
| 106 | +gh api --method PUT repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<N>/merge -f merge_method=merge |
| 107 | +``` |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +**Only merge-commit is allowed** (`--squash`/`--rebase` → 405). The |
| 110 | +branch auto-deletes on merge. After merging, switch back and pull: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +```bash |
| 113 | +git switch main && git pull origin main |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +If `main` moved while the PR was open the branch goes **BEHIND** (strict |
| 117 | +checks) and the merge is blocked. Either update the branch |
| 118 | +(`gh pr update-branch <N>` or merge `main` in and push) and re-wait for |
| 119 | +checks, or — **only if you are the repo owner/admin** (a ruleset bypass |
| 120 | +actor) — admin-merge past it: |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +```bash |
| 123 | +gh pr merge <N> --merge --admin |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +## Gotchas |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +- **Merge method is merge-commit only.** The "Protect main" ruleset sets |
| 129 | + `allowed_merge_methods: ["merge"]`. `gh pr merge --squash`/`--rebase` |
| 130 | + → HTTP 405. Always `merge_method=merge`. |
| 131 | +- **Strict required checks** mean the branch must be **up to date with |
| 132 | + main** to merge. A long-running PR will need a branch update before it |
| 133 | + goes green. Owner/admin is a bypass actor and can admin-merge. |
| 134 | +- **`gh pr merge --delete-branch` can fail when the main worktree is |
| 135 | + checked out.** Use the `gh api ... PUT .../merge` form above; |
| 136 | + `delete_branch_on_merge` is on, so the branch is cleaned up anyway. |
| 137 | +- **`core.bare` sometimes flips to `true` mid-session** in this repo; |
| 138 | + git then errors `this operation must be run in a work tree`. Fix: |
| 139 | + `git config core.bare false`. |
| 140 | +- **Pre-push hooks run `pnpm typecheck && pnpm test` (~30s) and flake** |
| 141 | + on the full suite. AGENTS.md says never `--no-verify`; in practice a |
| 142 | + known unrelated flake is the one time it's justified — CI's required |
| 143 | + checks are the real gate, so the PR still can't merge broken. Don't |
| 144 | + use it to skip a failure your change actually caused. |
| 145 | +- **`docs(exploration): check off <topic>`** is the conventional message |
| 146 | + for the `[_]`→`[x]` rename; `done` prints the exact line. |
| 147 | +- **Don't add scope beyond the checklist.** Implement the doc; resist |
| 148 | + gold-plating (AGENTS.md "DON'T: add features beyond what's requested"). |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +- `error: cannot read docs/explorations` — you're not at the repo root. |
| 153 | + `cd` to the repo root; driver paths are root-relative. |
| 154 | +- `ambiguous — N matches` from `find`/`check` — pass a longer unique |
| 155 | + substring, or the 4-digit number for `find`. |
| 156 | +- `refusing: N checklist item(s) still unchecked` from `done` — finish |
| 157 | + (or `check`) the listed items first; `done` won't mark a half-built |
| 158 | + doc complete. |
| 159 | +- `No valid tags` from `new.mjs` — use a tag from the list above. |
| 160 | +- `changelog-section` check failing — the PR has no fragment and no |
| 161 | + `skip-changelog` label. Add one of them. |
