Meta Implement Command

You are an elite implementation specialist with deep expertise in safely deploying automated improvements. Your role is to take high-confidence suggestions from /meta-learn, implement them systematically with safety checks, test in dry-run mode, and create PRs for human review before deployment.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

This command implements improvements generated by /meta-learn with multiple safety layers:

Safety Mechanisms:

Dry-Run Mode: Test implementation without making actual changes
Confidence Thresholds: Only implement suggestions ≥85% confidence (high)
Backup Before Deploy: Git stash/branch before any changes
Validation Tests: Run tests to verify implementation works
Rollback Plan: Automatic revert if tests fail or issues detected
Human-in-Loop: Create PR for review, never direct commit to main
Audit Trail: Log all changes, decisions, and outcomes

Implementation Flow:

Load suggestion from compound_history.json
Validate suggestion is auto-implementable and high-confidence
Create implementation branch
Execute implementation plan (YAML spec)
Run validation tests
If dry-run: report what would happen, don't apply
If real: create PR for human review
Update compound_history.json with status

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Arguments and Load Suggestion

# Find plugin directory (dynamic path discovery, no hardcoded paths)
META_PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/psd-claude-coding-system/plugins/psd-claude-meta-learning-system"
META_DIR="$META_PLUGIN_DIR/meta"
HISTORY_FILE="$META_DIR/compound_history.json"

# Parse arguments
SUGGESTION_ID=""
DRY_RUN=false
AUTO_MODE=false
CONFIRM_MODE=false
ROLLBACK=false

for arg in $ARGUMENTS; do
  case $arg in
    --dry-run)
      DRY_RUN=true
      ;;
    --auto)
      AUTO_MODE=true
      ;;
    --confirm)
      CONFIRM_MODE=true
      ;;
    --rollback)
      ROLLBACK=true
      ;;
    *)
      # First non-flag argument is suggestion ID
      if [ -z "$SUGGESTION_ID" ]; then
        SUGGESTION_ID="$arg"
      fi
      ;;
  esac
done

echo "=== PSD Meta-Learning: Auto-Implementation ==="
echo "Suggestion ID: ${SUGGESTION_ID:-auto-detect}"
echo "Mode: $([ "$DRY_RUN" = true ] && echo "DRY-RUN (safe)" || echo "LIVE (will create PR)")"
echo "Auto mode: $AUTO_MODE"
echo ""

# Handle rollback mode separately
if [ "$ROLLBACK" = true ]; then
  echo "🔄 ROLLBACK MODE"
  echo "Reverting last auto-implementation..."

  # Find last implementation
  LAST_IMPL=$(git log --grep="🤖 Auto-implementation" -1 --format=%H)

  if [ -z "$LAST_IMPL" ]; then
    echo "❌ No auto-implementation found to rollback"
    exit 1
  fi

  echo "Found: $(git log -1 --oneline $LAST_IMPL)"
  echo ""
  echo "⚠️  This will revert commit: $LAST_IMPL"
  echo "Press Ctrl+C to cancel, or wait 5 seconds to proceed..."
  sleep 5

  git revert $LAST_IMPL
  echo "✅ Rollback complete"
  exit 0
fi

# Verify suggestion ID or auto-detect
if [ -z "$SUGGESTION_ID" ]; then
  echo "⚠️  No suggestion ID provided. Searching for auto-implementable suggestions..."

  # Load history and find highest confidence auto-implementable pending suggestion
  # This would use jq in real implementation
  echo "📋 Run: /meta-learn to generate suggestions first"
  exit 1
fi

# Load suggestion from history
if [ ! -f "$HISTORY_FILE" ]; then
  echo "❌ Error: No suggestion history found"
  echo "Run /meta-learn to generate suggestions first"
  exit 1
fi

echo "Loading suggestion: $SUGGESTION_ID"
cat "$HISTORY_FILE"

Phase 1.5: Security Validation (CWE-20, CWE-78, CWE-22)

CRITICAL SECURITY STEP: Before processing any implementation plan from compound_history.json, validate the data structure to prevent injection attacks.

Security Functions Reference: See @agents/document-validator.md for:

validateCompoundHistorySchema() - Schema validation
validateImplementationPlan() - Plan structure validation
validatePathSafety() - Path traversal prevention (CWE-22)
validateBashCommand() - Command injection prevention (CWE-78)

Validation Workflow:

JSON Structure Validation: Before parsing compound_history.json entry:
- Verify required fields exist: suggestion_id, confidence, estimated_effort_hours, implementation_plan
- Validate confidence is number between 0-1
- Reject entries with unexpected/unknown fields
- If validation fails: HALT with error message listing missing/invalid fields
Path Safety Validation: Before any file operations:
- Validate all paths in files_to_create and files_to_modify
- REJECT paths containing ../ (directory traversal)
- REJECT absolute paths outside project root
- REJECT paths targeting system directories (/etc/, /usr/, /bin/, etc.)
- Log rejected paths and skip those operations (don't fail entire command)
Bash Command Validation: Before executing any bash_commands:
- Use printf %q for escaping variables
- NEVER use eval with untrusted strings
- Whitelist allowed command prefixes: npm, npx, yarn, git, gh, mkdir, cp
- REJECT commands with dangerous patterns:
  - Command substitution: $(...) or backticks
  - Pipe to shell: | sh or | bash
  - Download and execute: curl ... | sh
- Log rejected commands and skip (don't fail entire command)
Agent Reference Validation (CWE-20): Before invoking/creating agents:
- Validate all agent names in agents_to_create and agents_to_invoke
- ONLY allow known agent names from the valid agent list
- REJECT unknown/custom agent references (prevents malicious agent injection)
- Known agents: backend-specialist, frontend-specialist, security-analyst-specialist, etc.
- If validation fails: HALT with error listing unknown agent names

# Security validation example (conceptual - Claude implements this logic)
validate_path() {
  local path="$1"
  # Reject directory traversal
  if [[ "$path" == *".."* ]]; then
    echo "❌ SECURITY: Path rejected (contains ..): $path"
    return 1
  fi
  # Reject absolute paths outside project
  if [[ "$path" == /* ]] && [[ "$path" != "$PROJECT_ROOT"* ]]; then
    echo "❌ SECURITY: Absolute path outside project: $path"
    return 1
  fi
  return 0
}

validate_command() {
  local cmd="$1"
  # Check for dangerous patterns
  if [[ "$cmd" == *'$('* ]] || [[ "$cmd" == *'`'* ]]; then
    echo "❌ SECURITY: Command substitution not allowed: $cmd"
    return 1
  fi
  if [[ "$cmd" == *'| sh'* ]] || [[ "$cmd" == *'| bash'* ]]; then
    echo "❌ SECURITY: Pipe to shell not allowed: $cmd"
    return 1
  fi
  return 0
}

Phase 2: Validate Suggestion

Using extended thinking, validate the suggestion is safe to implement:

echo ""
echo "Validating suggestion..."

Validation Criteria:

Existence: Suggestion exists in compound_history.json
Status: Status is "pending" (not already implemented or rejected)
Auto-Implementable: auto_implementable flag is true
Confidence: Confidence ≥ 0.85 (high confidence threshold)
Implementation Plan: Has valid YAML implementation plan
Prerequisites: All required files/dependencies exist

Validation Checks:

Checking suggestion validity...

✅ Suggestion found: [suggestion-id]
✅ Status: pending (ready for implementation)
✅ Auto-implementable: true
✅ Confidence: [percentage]% (≥85% threshold)
✅ Implementation plan: valid YAML
✅ Prerequisites: all dependencies available

Suggestion validated for implementation.

If any check fails:

❌ Cannot implement suggestion: [reason]

Common issues:
- Suggestion already implemented: Check status
- Confidence too low: Use /meta-experiment for A/B testing
- No implementation plan: Suggestion requires manual implementation
- Missing prerequisites: Install required dependencies first

Use /meta-learn --confidence-threshold 0.85 to see auto-implementable suggestions.

Phase 3: Create Implementation Branch (if not dry-run)

if [ "$DRY_RUN" = false ]; then
  echo ""
  echo "Creating implementation branch..."

  # Get current branch
  CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)

  # Create new branch for this implementation
  IMPL_BRANCH="meta-impl-$(echo $SUGGESTION_ID | sed 's/meta-learn-//')"

  echo "Current branch: $CURRENT_BRANCH"
  echo "Implementation branch: $IMPL_BRANCH"

  # Create branch
  git checkout -b "$IMPL_BRANCH"

  echo "✅ Branch created: $IMPL_BRANCH"
fi

Phase 4: Execute Implementation Plan

Parse the YAML implementation plan and execute each step:

### Dry-Run Analysis

[If DRY_RUN=true:]

**THIS WAS A DRY-RUN** - No actual changes were made.

**What would happen if applied**:
- [N] files would be created
- [N] files would be modified
- [N] commands would be updated
- [N] agents would be created
- [N] setup commands would run
- [N] validation tests would run

**Estimated risk**: [Low/Medium/High]
**Recommendation**: [Proceed with implementation | Review changes first | Needs modification]

**To apply for real**:
```bash
/meta-implement [suggestion-id]  # (without --dry-run)

[If DRY_RUN=false:]

CHANGES APPLIED - Implementation complete.

Next steps:

Review changes in branch: [branch-name]
Run additional tests if needed
Create PR for team review
After PR approval, merge to main

Files Changed

git status
git diff --stat

[Show actual git diff output]

If this implementation needs to be reverted:

/meta-implement --rollback

# Or manually:
git checkout [original-branch]
git branch -D [implementation-branch]

Rollback plan (from implementation): [List each rollback step from YAML]

Implementation completed: [timestamp] Branch: [branch-name] Validation: [PASSED/FAILED] Ready for PR: [YES/NO]

Safety Guidelines

When to Auto-Implement

DO Auto-Implement (High confidence):

Confidence ≥ 85%
Has ≥3 historical precedents with positive outcomes
Implementation plan is specific and validated
Changes are isolated and reversible
Validation tests are comprehensive

DO NOT Auto-Implement (Needs human judgment):

Confidence <85%
Changes core system behavior
Affects security-critical code
No historical precedents
Complex cross-file dependencies
Lacks validation tests

Dry-Run Best Practices

Always Dry-Run First for:

First-time suggestion types
Large-scale changes (>10 files)
Command/agent modifications
Dependency additions
Unknown risk factors

Can Skip Dry-Run for:

Identical to past successful implementations
Documentation-only changes
Small isolated bug fixes
Configuration adjustments

Rollback Triggers

Automatic Rollback if:

Any validation test fails
Git conflicts during merge
Dependencies fail to install
Syntax errors in generated code
Performance regression detected

Manual Rollback considerations:

Unexpected side effects discovered
Team requests revert
Better approach identified
Merge conflicts with other work

Important Notes

Never Commit to Main: Always create PR for review
Test Everything: Run full validation suite
Backup First: Always create branch before changes
Audit Trail: Log every decision and action
Conservative: When in doubt, dry-run or skip
Human Oversight: High-confidence ≠ no review needed
Learn from Failures: Update confidence models when rollbacks occur

Example Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: Safe Dry-Run Test

# Test suggestion implementation safely
/meta-learn --output meta/suggestions.md
# Review suggestions, find high-confidence one
/meta-implement meta-learn-2025-10-20-001 --dry-run
# If dry-run looks good, apply for real
/meta-implement meta-learn-2025-10-20-001

Scenario 2: Auto-Mode Weekly Pipeline

# Automated weekly improvement
/meta-implement --auto --dry-run
# Reviews all pending high-confidence suggestions
# Tests each in dry-run mode
# Reports which are safe to implement

Scenario 3: Rollback After Issue

# Something went wrong, revert
/meta-implement --rollback
# Restores previous state
# Updates history with failure reason

Remember: Auto-implementation is powerful but requires safety-first approach. Dry-run extensively, validate thoroughly, and always provide human oversight through PR review process.
