Feature Implementer Skill
This skill takes a feature specification from docs/features/ and implements it fully, creating all necessary Godot scenes, GDScript files, resources, and configurations. It ensures alignment with the overall game design vision and provides detailed output on:
What was created (files, systems, integrations)
What changed in the game (gameplay impact, new mechanics)
What the player should now see (visible differences, new UI, behaviors)
How to test the implementation (step-by-step verification)

When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when the user:
Says "implement [feature-name]" or "implement the feature spec for [X]"
Asks to "build [feature-name] from the spec"
Says "create the implementation for [task-id]"
Wants to "turn this spec into code"
Says "implement docs/features/X.md"
How to Use This Skill
IMPORTANT: Always announce at the start that you are using the Feature Implementer skill.
Example: "I'm using the Feature Implementer skill to implement the feature specification for [feature-name]."
Implementation Workflow
Phase 1: Context Gathering
Step 1.1: Identify the Feature Spec
If user provides a feature name, search docs/features/ for matching spec
If user provides a file path, read that file directly
If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
Step 1.2: Read the Feature Spec
Load the complete feature specification
Parse all sections: Purpose, How It Works, Technical Implementation, etc.
Identify acceptance criteria for validation
Step 1.3: Read Game Design Documents
⚠️ CRITICAL: Always consult the overall game design before implementing.
Search for and read these documents to ensure alignment:
Prototype GDD: docs/*prototype-gdd*.md or docs/*gdd*.md
Player fantasy (how feature reinforces the experience)
Existing systems (how feature integrates)
Quality bar (visual/audio standards)
Scope boundaries (what's IN vs OUT)
Step 1.4: Gather Project Context
Read existing scripts that this feature will integrate with
Check for autoloads in project.godot
Review existing scene structures in scenes/
Understand signal patterns used in the project
Look for related features already implemented
Step 1.5: Identify Dependencies
Check if dependency features are implemented
If dependencies missing, warn user and ask how to proceed
List what systems this feature will connect to
Phase 2: Implementation Planning
Step 2.1: Design Alignment Check
Before planning implementation, verify alignment with game design:
## Design Alignment Check### Design Pillars Support-**[Pillar 1]:** How this feature supports it: [explanation]
-**[Pillar 2]:** How this feature supports it: [explanation]
### Player Fantasy Reinforcement- This feature reinforces the player fantasy by: [explanation]
### Scope Verification- ✅ Feature is within vertical slice scope
- ✅ Not adding anything from "What's OUT" list
- ✅ Quality bar requirements understood
### Integration with Existing Systems-**[Existing System 1]:** Integration approach: [description]
-**[Existing System 2]:** Integration approach: [description]
Step 2.2: Create Implementation Plan
Show user the implementation plan before writing code:
## Implementation Plan for [Feature Name]### Design Alignment- Supports pillars: [list]
- Reinforces: [player fantasy element]
### Files to Create1.`scenes/[category]/[feature].tscn` - Main scene
2.`scripts/[category]/[feature].gd` - Main script
3.`scripts/[category]/[helper].gd` - Helper scripts (if needed)
4.`data/[feature]/[config].json` - Data files (if needed)
### Files to Modify1.`project.godot` - Add autoload (if needed)
2.`scripts/core/[existing].gd` - Add integration signals
3.`scenes/[existing].tscn` - Add node references
### Integration Points- Connects to: [list of systems]
- Emits signals: [list of signals]
- Listens for: [list of signals]
### Implementation Order1. Create data structures/classes
2. Create main script
3. Create scene
4. Wire up signals
5. Integrate with existing systems
6. Test basic functionality
Proceed with implementation?
Follow the Technical Implementation section from the spec:
Create class definitions with proper class_name
Add all exported properties from spec
Implement all public methods defined in spec
Add all signals from spec
Include comprehensive comments
Script Template:
## [Brief description from spec]
## Part of: [Feature Name]
## Spec: docs/features/[spec-file].md
class_name FeatureName
extends [BaseClass]
# ===== SIGNALS =====
signal example_signal(param: Type)
# ===== EXPORTED PROPERTIES =====
@export var example_property: Type = default_value
# ===== INTERNAL STATE =====
var _internal_state: Type
# ===== LIFECYCLE =====
func _ready() -> void:
_connect_signals()
_initialize()
func _connect_signals() -> void:
# Connect to other systems
pass
func _initialize() -> void:
# Setup initial state
pass
# ===== PUBLIC API =====
func public_method() -> ReturnType:
## Description from spec
pass
# ===== INTERNAL METHODS =====
func _internal_method() -> void:
pass
Step 3.3: Create Scenes
Follow the Scene Structure section from the spec:
Create .tscn file programmatically or describe structure
Attach scripts to appropriate nodes
Configure node properties as specified
Set up UI layouts if applicable
Step 3.4: Create Data Files
If spec includes JSON/resource data:
Create data files in data/ directory
Follow schema from spec exactly
Include all entries defined in spec
Step 3.5: Integration
Connect to existing systems:
Add signal connections
Update autoloads if needed
Modify project.godot if required
Update existing scripts to emit/receive signals
Phase 4: Implementation Report
Generate a comprehensive report after implementation. This report should be detailed enough that anyone can understand what changed, what the player experiences, and how to verify the implementation works.

## Implementation Guidelines
### Code Style
Follow project conventions:
- Use `snake_case` for functions and variables
- Use `PascalCase` for class names
- Use `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` for constants
- Add type hints to all parameters and return values
- Include doc comments for public methods
### Signal Patterns
Follow existing signal patterns in the project:
```gdscript
# Define signals at top of class
signal state_changed(old_state: State, new_state: State)
# Emit with all parameters
state_changed.emit(previous, current)
# Connect using callable syntax
other_node.state_changed.connect(_on_state_changed)
✅ Check for existing implementations that might conflict
✅ Show implementation plan to user
✅ Wait for user confirmation
During Implementation
✅ Create files in correct directories
✅ Follow scene structure from spec exactly
✅ Implement all methods defined in spec
✅ Add all signals defined in spec
✅ Validate syntax before moving to next file
After Implementation
✅ Generate comprehensive implementation report
✅ List all files created/modified
✅ Provide testing instructions
✅ Document manual steps required
✅ Include troubleshooting guidance
What NOT to Do
❌ Don't skip reading the full spec
❌ Don't implement without showing plan first
❌ Don't deviate from spec without noting it
❌ Don't leave placeholder code
❌ Don't forget to update project.godot for autoloads
❌ Don't forget signal connections
