SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the translation of change requests into production-ready code by strictly following the provided specs and design.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Implementation orchestration: reads task definitions, applies the correct workflow (TDD or Standard), and generates code that satisfies the change.
  • Artifact-aware execution: coordinates with engram/openspec/none modes and updates task state accordingly.
  • Use Case: For a given change named "sdd-apply-2024-07," it implements the specified tasks and marks them complete in tasks.md when required.

Quick Start

Invoke the implementation flow by reading the assigned tasks, following the specs and design, and writing the required code

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code implementation from task specifications?

Task execution in OpenSpec workflows translates change requests into concrete code by reading assigned tasks, following specs and design, and writing the required code. It coordinates with openspec artifact modes and updates task state in tasks.md upon completion.

How does TDD workflow automation work with change management?

TDD workflow automation with change management applies the correct workflow by reading task definitions and generating code that satisfies the change. It ensures compliance with persistence contracts, supports TDD or standard workflows, and updates task artifacts as required.

Do I need an orchestrator to use task execution for writing code?

Yes, you need an orchestrator-driven workflow to use task execution for writing code. This Skill is applied within orchestrator-driven workflows where changes specify a name, tasks to implement, and an artifact store mode (engram, openspec, or none) to ensure compliance with persistence contracts.

What is the best way to manage artifact state during change implementation?

Managing artifact state during change implementation requires coordinating with engram, openspec, or none artifact store modes. The execution flow reads task definitions, applies the correct workflow, generates code, and updates task state in tasks.md when required.

Why does change implementation require persistence contract compliance?

Change implementation requires persistence contract compliance to ensure generated code reliably translates change requests into production-ready code. It coordinates with artifact store modes and updates task artifacts, maintaining state integrity throughout the TDD or standard workflow execution.
