description	Drive a GitHub issue from branch to pull request — read the issue, create a feature branch, implement the change, run the project's build and tests, then commit, push, and open a PR. Language and build-tool agnostic. Use when asked to implement, fix, or resolve a GitHub issue by number.

Implement GitHub issue #$ARGUMENTS

Try it: /implement-issue:implement-issue 42 — invoke explicitly with the issue number (model auto-invocation is disabled).

Follow this workflow for every code change. It is independent of language and build tool — adapt the build and test commands to whatever the project uses.

Step 1: Read the issue

gh issue view $ARGUMENTS

Understand the requirements before writing any code. If the issue is ambiguous, note your assumptions.

Step 2: Create a feature branch

git checkout main
git pull
git checkout -b feature/$ARGUMENTS-<short-description>

Use a concise, hyphenated <short-description> derived from the issue title.

Step 3: Implement the changes

• Read relevant source files before making modifications.
• Follow the project's existing coding standards and conventions (formatting, language version, libraries already in use).
• Keep changes focused on the issue requirements — avoid unrelated refactors.

Step 4: Build and run tests

Run the project's build and test commands. Discover them from the repo rather than assuming a specific tool — for example a Maven project might use ./mvnw test, but other projects use Gradle, npm, pytest, go test, etc.

Fix any failures before proceeding.

Step 5: Commit and push

git add <changed-files>
git commit -m "<descriptive message>

Closes #$ARGUMENTS

Co-Authored-By: Claude <[e-mail]>"
git push -u origin HEAD

Step 6: Create the pull request

gh pr create --title "<concise title>" --body "## Summary
<bullet points of what changed and why>

## Test plan
<how to verify the change>

Closes #$ARGUMENTS

Git safety

• Never force-push (git push --force) or delete branches without explicit confirmation from the user.
• Push to the feature branch only; do not push directly to main.
