Implementing

Overview

Execute an existing blueprint exactly as written, with verification and checkpoints. If the blueprint is wrong or unclear, stop and ask to change it.

When to Use

• An implementation blueprint exists and is approved
• The work needs disciplined, step-by-step execution

Skip if: there is no blueprint (write one first) or the task is trivial.

Quick Reference

1. Read the full blueprint.
2. Call out blockers or questions.
3. Track progress per task.
4. Verify each task before moving on.
5. Check in after a small batch.

Execution Workflow

1. Load the blueprint

   • Read end to end.
   • Identify unclear steps or missing info.

2. Confirm before starting

   • If anything is unclear, ask and wait.
   • Do not "fix" the blueprint silently.

3. Execute tasks in order

   • One task at a time.
   • Follow steps exactly.
   • Run the listed verification.
   • Mark the task complete.

4. Checkpoint

   • After 2-3 tasks (or any risky task), summarize:
     • What changed
     • Verification results
     • Open questions
   • Wait for approval before continuing.

5. Finish

   • Run any final verification from the blueprint.
   • Report completion and remaining risks.

Rules

• Do not add scope or extra features
• Do not reorder tasks unless the blueprint says so
• Stop and ask if blocked or if verification fails

Delegate

• Use implementer agent for code changes per task
• Use test-writer agent if tests are missing
• Use code-reviewer agent after completion

Pipeline: discovering → researching → blueprinting → implementing → code-review

Common Mistakes

• Skipping verification to "save time"
• Changing the blueprint without approval
• Executing multiple tasks in parallel without permission
