/implement

Execute implementation phases from PLAN.md, writing code in spaces/ while tracking progress in ideas/.

Usage

Copy/implement yourbench YB-2 1.1      # Execute phase 1.1 of issue YB-2
/implement yourbench YB-2 --next   # Auto-find next uncompleted phase
/implement yourbench --next        # Auto-detect issue + next phase
/implement coordinatr 003 --full   # Execute all remaining phases

The Bridge Pattern

Copyideas/yourbench/issues/YB-2-auth/     spaces/yourbench/
├── TASK.md (requirements)            ├── src/
├── PLAN.md (phases)          ←→      │   └── auth/  ← CODE WRITTEN HERE
└── worklog/                          └── tests/
    ├── _state.json (current state)
    └── 001-phase-*.json (entries)

Prerequisites

REQUIRED:

• issues/###-name/PLAN.md must exist
• Active issue context (issue number specified or inferable)
• spaces/{project}/ exists (code repository)

If PLAN.md missing: Run /plan first to create implementation plan

Execution Flow

1. Parse & Validate

• Locate issue in ideas/[project]/issues/###-*/
• Verify spaces/[project]/ exists
• Check git branch (warn if on main/develop)
• Check dependencies (warn if incomplete)

2. Load Worklog Context

Read worklog/_state.json for:

• Current phase progress
• Key decisions made
• Previous agent context
• Blockers

3. Branch & Status Management

On first phase:

• Create feature branch: feature/###-slug or bugfix/###-slug
• Update issue status to in_progress
• Initialize worklog directory

4. Execute Phase

1. Load context:
   • PLAN.md (phases and checkboxes)
   • Spec section from implements: field in TASK.md
   • ADRs and research docs
2. Select agent based on phase domain
3. Write code to spaces/[project]/
4. Run tests and quality gates
5. Create worklog entry
6. Update PLAN.md checkboxes
7. Update _state.json

5. Agent Coordination

6. Per-Phase Security Checks (Conditional)

Trigger security-auditor after phase if touching:

• Authentication/Authorization
• Secrets/API keys
• Database operations
• File operations
• External APIs
• Deployment config

7. Worklog Entries (MANDATORY)

After each phase, create JSON entry:

• Filename: {sequence:03d}-phase-{slug}.json
• Required: type, phase, author, summary, work, learnings, next_steps, blockers

8. Final Review (--full mode)

When all phases complete:

1. Launch code-reviewer agent
2. Launch security-auditor agent
3. Process combined results
4. Block if CRITICAL issues

Modes

Specific Phase

Copy/implement yourbench YB-2 1.1  # Execute only phase 1.1

Next Phase

Copy/implement yourbench YB-2 --next  # Find first uncompleted checkbox

Full Run

Copy/implement yourbench YB-2 --full  # All remaining phases + final review

Flags

Workflow

Copy/spec → /issue → /plan → /implement → /commit → /complete
           ↓                 ↓
    implements:        Load spec section
    spec section       for requirements
                             ↓
                   worklog/ entries created
                             ↓
                   spaces/[project]/ code written

Spec Compliance

When implementing, the code should fulfill the requirements from the spec section referenced in the issue's implements: field. The /complete command will validate that all spec requirements are met.
