sc-implement

name	sc-implement
description	Feature implementation with intelligent persona activation, task orchestration, and MCP integration. Use when implementing features, APIs, components, services, or coordinating multi-agent development. Triggers on requests for code implementation, feature development, or complex task orchestration.

Implementation Skill

Comprehensive feature implementation with coordinated expertise and systematic development.

Quick Start

# Basic implementation
/sc:implement [feature-description] --type component|api|service|feature

# With framework
/sc:implement dashboard widget --framework react|vue|express

# Complex orchestration
/sc:implement [task] --orchestrate --strategy systematic|agile|enterprise

Behavioral Flow

1. Analyze - Examine requirements, detect technology context
2. Plan - Choose approach, activate relevant personas
3. Generate - Create implementation with framework best practices
4. Validate - Apply security, quality, and principles validation
   • Run KISS validation: python .claude/skills/sc-principles/scripts/validate_kiss.py --scope-root . --json
   • Run Purity validation: python .claude/skills/sc-principles/scripts/validate_purity.py --scope-root . --json
   • If blocked: Refactor code to comply before proceeding
5. Integrate - Update docs, provide testing recommendations

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--type	string	feature	component, api, service, feature
--framework	string	auto	react, vue, express, etc.
--safe	bool	false	Enable safety constraints
--with-tests	bool	false	Generate tests alongside code
--fast-codex	bool	false	Streamlined path, skip multi-persona

MCP Integration

PAL MCP (Always Use for Quality)

mcp__pal__consensus	Architectural decisions	Multi-model validation before major changes
mcp__pal__codereview	Code quality	Review implementation quality, security, performance
mcp__pal__precommit	Before commit	Validate all changes before git commit
mcp__pal__debug	Implementation issues	Root cause analysis for bugs encountered
mcp__pal__thinkdeep	Complex features	Multi-stage analysis for complex implementations
mcp__pal__planner	Large features	Sequential planning for multi-step implementations
mcp__pal__apilookup	Dependencies	Get current API/SDK documentation
mcp__pal__challenge	Code review feedback	Critically evaluate review suggestions

PAL Usage Patterns

# Consensus for architectural decision
mcp__pal__consensus(
    models=[
        {"model": "gpt-5.2", "stance": "for"},
        {"model": "gemini-3-pro", "stance": "against"},
        {"model": "deepseek", "stance": "neutral"}
    ],
    step="Evaluate: Should we use Redux or Context API for state management?"
)

# Pre-commit validation
mcp__pal__precommit(
    path="/path/to/repo",
    step="Validating implementation changes",
    findings="Security, performance, completeness checks",
    confidence="high"
)

# Code review after implementation
mcp__pal__codereview(
    review_type="full",
    step="Reviewing new authentication implementation",
    findings="Quality, security, performance, architecture",
    relevant_files=["/src/auth/login.ts", "/src/auth/middleware.ts"]
)

# Debug implementation issue
mcp__pal__debug(
    step="Investigating why API returns 500 on edge case",
    hypothesis="Null check missing for optional field",
    confidence="medium"
)

Rube MCP (Automation & Integration)

Tool	When to Use	Purpose
mcp__rube__RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS	External services	Find APIs, SDKs, integrations
mcp__rube__RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL	CI/CD, notifications	Trigger builds, notify team, update tickets
mcp__rube__RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH	Code generation	Bulk code operations, transformations
mcp__rube__RUBE_CREATE_UPDATE_RECIPE	Reusable workflows	Save implementation patterns as recipes
mcp__rube__RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS	Verify integrations	Ensure external service connections

Rube Usage Patterns

# Search for integration tools
mcp__rube__RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS(queries=[
    {"use_case": "send slack message", "known_fields": "channel_name:dev-updates"},
    {"use_case": "create github pull request", "known_fields": "repo:myapp"}
])

# Notify team and update ticket on completion
mcp__rube__RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL(tools=[
    {"tool_slug": "SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE", "arguments": {
        "channel": "#dev-updates",
        "text": "Feature implemented: User authentication flow"
    }},
    {"tool_slug": "JIRA_UPDATE_ISSUE", "arguments": {
        "issue_key": "PROJ-123",
        "status": "In Review"

    {"tool_slug": "GITHUB_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST", "arguments": {
        "repo": "myapp",
        "title": "feat: Add user authentication",
        "base": "main",
        "head": "feature/auth"
    }}

MCP-Powered Loop Mode

When --loop is enabled, MCP tools are used between iterations:

1. Iteration N - Implement feature
2. PAL codereview - Assess quality (target: 70+ score)
3. PAL debug - Investigate any issues found
4. Iteration N+1 - Apply improvements
5. PAL precommit - Final validation before marking complete

Guardrails

• Start in analysis mode; produce scoped plan before touching files
• Only mark complete when referencing concrete repo changes (filenames + diff hunks)
• Return plan + next actions if tooling unavailable
• Prefer minimal viable change; skip speculative scaffolding
• Escalate to security persona before modifying auth/secrets/permissions

Evidence Requirements

This skill requires evidence. You MUST:

• Show actual file diffs or code changes
• Reference test results or lint output
• Never claim code exists without proof

Examples

React Component

/sc:implement user profile component --type component --framework react

API with Tests

/sc:implement user auth API --type api --safe --with-tests

Complex Orchestration

/sc:implement "enterprise auth system" --orchestrate --strategy systematic --delegate

Loop Mode & Learning

When using --loop, this skill integrates with the skill persistence layer for cross-session learning:

How Learning Works

1. Feedback Recording - Each iteration's quality scores and improvements are persisted
2. Skill Extraction - Successful patterns are extracted when quality threshold is met
3. Skill Retrieval - Relevant learned skills are injected into subsequent tasks
4. Effectiveness Tracking - Applied skills are tracked for success rate

Loop Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--loop	int	3	Enable iterative improvement (max 5)
--learn	bool	true	Enable learning from this session
--auto-promote	bool	false	Auto-promote high-quality skills

Example with Learning

# Iterative implementation with learning
/sc:implement auth flow --loop 3 --learn

# View learned skills
python scripts/skill_learn.py '{"command": "stats"}'

# Retrieve relevant skills
python scripts/skill_learn.py '{"command": "retrieve", "task": "auth"}'
