You can automate work-item implementation by running a workflow that handles branch creation, source code modifications, test execution, code review, and change-request merge. This eliminates manual steps and reduces errors across the entire implementation process.

An end-to-end work-item implementation workflow automates the complete lifecycle of a code change, from creating a dedicated branch to executing test-driven development, performing code review, and merging the final change request into the codebase.

Yes, automating branch management and code review requires the gh CLI. The workflow also depends on specific sandman skills for planning, test-driven development, self-review, and back-merge to execute the full implementation process.

Yes, test-driven development is executed automatically as a core feature of the work-item implementation workflow. The automation ensures code quality by integrating TDD directly into the branch creation and merge process.

Handling code review automation is best achieved through an integrated workflow that performs source code modifications and test execution first, then automatically manages the review and merge process to simplify collaboration.

Automated implementation may fail to merge change requests if the required gh CLI is missing or if prerequisite skills for test-driven development, self-review, and back-merge are not properly installed and configured in the repository.
