SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates inconsistent and error-prone local dev loop phase execution by providing deterministic phase planning, test-first implementation workflows, and mandatory validation guardrails, ensuring teams never skip required acceptance criteria or artifact steps when turning GitHub issues into merged PRs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic Phase Planning: Generates 2-3 implementation plan variants, merges them into a reviewed phase plan, and delegates tasks to specialist subagents to avoid scope creep and missing requirements.
  • Test-First Implementation Guardrails: Enforces 90% test coverage thresholds, pre-flight worktree and branch validation, and pre-approval review fan-out to catch issues before merge.
  • Flexible Session Support: Works with both phase-document-backed and tracker-backed local implementation sessions, automatically bootstrapping missing support files as needed.
  • Use Case: For example, when implementing a new feature branch for a GitHub issue, use this Skill to plan the phase, write tests first, run all required validation gates, and produce the correct phase artifacts without manual coordination of each step.

Quick Start

Use the local-implementation skill to execute the current dev loop phase, including phase planning, test-first implementation, all required validation gates, and mandatory phase artifact maintenance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce test-first implementation and phase planning for GitHub issue to PR workflows?

Test-first implementation and deterministic phase planning are enforced by generating multiple plan variants, merging them into a reviewed phase plan, and delegating tasks to specialist subagents to prevent scope creep and missing requirements.

What is the best way to maintain phase artifact discipline during local dev loop execution?

Phase artifact discipline is maintained by automatically bootstrapping missing support files for both phase-document-backed and tracker-backed local implementation sessions, ensuring mandatory artifacts are generated without manual coordination.

How do I validate worktree and branch pre-flight conditions before opening a pull request?

Pre-flight worktree and branch validation is executed automatically as a mandatory guardrail during local dev loop execution, catching branch state issues and ensuring code changes are merge-ready before pre-approval review fan-out.

Does this local implementation approach support teams needing strict 90% test coverage thresholds?

Yes, 90% test coverage thresholds are strictly enforced during local implementation execution, ensuring that all code changes meet compliance requirements before progressing to the pre-approval review stage.

When should I use deterministic phase planning instead of manual phase workflows?

Deterministic phase planning should be used when inconsistent local dev loop phase execution causes skipped acceptance criteria, ensuring mandatory validation gates and artifact steps are never missed when turning GitHub issues into merged PRs.

Can I use this dev loop automation with tracker-backed implementation sessions instead of phase documents?

Yes, flexible session support works with both phase-document-backed and tracker-backed local implementation sessions, automatically bootstrapping any missing support files needed to execute the current dev loop phase.
