SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turning detailed design or refactor plans into actual source code is time‑consuming and error‑prone. This skill automates that translation, producing clean, idiomatic code that matches the design intent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextual reading: Loads the design document, existing source, research docs, and project guidelines before coding.
  • Guardrails: Preserves existing code, follows established patterns, and includes required error handling and tests.
  • Full workflow: Guides the agent through understanding, planning, aligning with standards, implementing, self‑verification, and committing changes.
  • Use case: When a team has a design for a new feature that touches fewer than 20 files, they can invoke this skill to generate the implementation and associated tests in a single, controlled session.

Quick Start

Use the implement skill to generate production‑ready code for the target component based on its design document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate production-ready code from a design document?

Generating production-ready code from a design document requires loading the design specifications, existing source, and project guidelines to automatically translate the plan into clean, idiomatic code.

What is the best way to automate turning refactor plans into source code?

The best way to automate turning refactor plans into source code is using a guided workflow that preserves existing code, follows established patterns, and includes error handling and tests.

Can I implement a new feature module that touches up to 20 files in a single session?

Yes, you can implement a new feature module touching up to 20 files in a single controlled session, provided a detailed design or refactor plan already exists for the target component.

Does automated code implementation include error handling and tests?

Yes, automated code implementation includes required error handling and generates associated tests to ensure the new source code matches the design intent and passes self-verification.

When should I not use automated design to code translation?

You should avoid automated design to code translation for large modules exceeding approximately 20 files, or when a detailed design document and established project conventions are unavailable.
