implement

Build from a plan, spec or ticket that already exists, without the design phases of /feature-flow: turn a spec into tickets or a plan if needed, approve the plan, execute it test-first through superpowers, then /verify and /learn. One approval gate, resumable. Use for /implement [path to plan, spec or ticket]; no argument resumes.

Path to a plan, spec or ticket
# implement The design is done; build it. If the input turns out not to be a design (open questions, no clear behaviour), say so and offer `/feature-flow` instead. | Phase | Runs | Output | | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | | 1 Read | the input, pstack `how` on the code it touches, the seam question | what's settled, what's not | | 2 Plan | mattpocock `to-tickets` and/or superpowers `writing-plans` | plan. **Gate** | | 3 Execute | superpowers `subagent-driven-development` or `executing-plans` | code, tests | | 4 Finish | `/verify`, then `/learn` | branch handled | [flow-rules.md](../../references/flow-rules.md) applies: read it first. State: `docs/features/<slug>/flow.md` from [build-template.md](../../references/build-template.md), `flow: implement`, phases `read | plan | execute | finish | done`. Packs: `<flow-root>/packs` (pstack and mattpocock are its `-picks` folders). ## Start or resume - **With an argument:** read it, derive a slug, create flow.md, Phase 1. - **Without one:** resume a `flow: implement` flow.md whose `phase:` isn't `done` (several: ask which; none: ask for the input). ## Phase 1: Read Read the input and everything it links. Run pstack `how` (fallback: Explore agents) on the code it touches and read the domain docs that `<packs>/mattpocock-picks/skills/setup-matt-pocock-skills/domain.md` lists (the glossary and the ADRs). Under **Findings**: where it lands (`file:line`), and every point the input leaves open. A cross-cutting concern the input adds without saying where it is resolved and which modules never see it is an open point: ask feature-flow's seam question (mattpocock `codebase-design`, pstack `principle-redesign-from-first-principles` and `principle-boundary-discipline`). Up to three open points: ask them, one at a time, with a recommendation each. More: the design isn't done; offer `/feature-flow`. ## Phase 2: Plan - **A plan** (tasks with steps): check it against the code from Phase 1; stale paths or names are fixed in place. A task without a **Files** list gets one written before the Gate. Every task also gets, right below its heading, `**Does:** <one plain sentence for a reader who doesn't know the code>` and `**Depends on:** Task <n>, … | none`. - **A spec or ticket:** follow superpowers `writing-plans` on it. For a spec too big for one branch, first offer mattpocock `to-tickets` and plan only the first ticket. Either way, each seam answer from Phase 1 goes verbatim into the plan's **Global Constraints**. **Gate:** read back the Global Constraints and each task's **Files** list (the deviation contract), then the user approves the plan and picks the execution method (subagent-driven, or native = `executing-plans`), with your recommendation. Record both as flow.md gate lines (`- Gate 1, <what>: <date>`). ## Phase 3: Execute Read the chosen skill by path and follow it. It sets up the worktree and runs TDD and reviews itself. Stop where it would invoke `finishing-a-development-branch`. Deviations stop the build: flow-rules **Deviations** (the fifth stop, the brief clause, the files check, Rulings). Before SDD deletes its workspace, copy its ledger's `Ruling:` lines into flow.md (flow-rules **Rulings**). ## Phase 4: Finish Run `/verify` with the input as its intent (and that execution ran natively, if it did), then `/learn` on this flow. Set `phase: done`.
