| description | Execute implementation with and without ARE documentation (experimental) |
| disable-model-invocation | true |
Execute the implementation phase with and without ARE documentation to measure impact.
Run the implement command to execute code changes in both environments.
Steps
-
Read version: Read .claude/ARE-VERSION → store as $VERSION. Show the user: agents-reverse-engineer v$VERSION
-
Run the implement command:
npx agents-reverse-engineer@$VERSION implement --backend claude $ARGUMENTS
Note: When --plan-id <id> is provided, the task description is loaded from the stored plan — no need to pass it explicitly.
-
Wait for completion — the command runs two sequential AI implementation sessions (without docs, then with docs) and outputs a comparison table.
-
On completion, summarize the comparison results:
- Implementation metrics (files created/modified, lines added/deleted)
- Test results (if
--run-tests was used)
- Build and lint results (if
--run-build / --run-lint was used)
- Cost and latency comparison
- Quality evaluation scores (if
--eval was used)
This re-uses branches created by /are-plan and executes the implementation in both worktrees:
- With ARE docs: Full documentation available during implementation
- Without ARE docs: Source code only (ARE artifacts stripped)
The comparison measures how much ARE documentation improves implementation quality.
Options:
--eval: Run AI quality evaluator on both implementations--eval-model <name>: Model for the evaluator (default: same as --model)--model <name>: AI model to use for implementation--task-slug <slug>: Reference existing plan by slug (default: auto-generate from task)--plan-id <id>: Reference existing plan by ID (shown by are plan on completion)--run-tests: Execute test suite and include results in metrics--run-build: Execute build and verify success--run-lint: Run linter and include error/warning counts--dry-run: Show what would happen without executing--list: List all saved implementation comparisons--show <id>: View a previous comparison by date--force: Overwrite existing branches for the same task--debug: Show verbose AI execution details
