SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It removes the manual coordination of executing a spec-driven change by reading the change artifacts, working through each pending task, updating task checkboxes, and tracking implementation status automatically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Execution Loop: Reads tasks.md from a change directory, implements each pending task, and marks it complete as it goes. - Progress Tracking: Shows N/M task progress, updates change status via the sdd-tracker skill, and pauses with clear options when blocked. - Use Case: After creating a change proposal with /sdd-propose, run /sdd-implement add-auth to have the agent read the spec, write the code for each task, and finish by running /sdd-verify to confirm the implementation matches the spec. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to implement the change named add-auth using the sdd-implement skill and work through all pending tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions about sdd-implement

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement a change from a spec in a spec-driven workflow?▼

Invoke the skill with a change name, such as /sdd-implement add-auth. It reads tasks.md and the change artifacts, implements each pending task, marks checkboxes complete, and shows progress until all tasks are done or it is blocked.

What happens if I run sdd-implement without specifying a change name?▼

The skill infers the change from conversation context or auto-selects when only one active change exists. If ambiguous, it lists directories in the changes folder and asks you to select one.

Can sdd-implement run before all design artifacts are finished?▼

Yes, it supports a fluid workflow and can be invoked anytime tasks exist, including after partial implementation. If implementation reveals design issues, it pauses and suggests updating the artifacts rather than guessing.

What does sdd-implement do when tasks.md is missing or all tasks are done?▼

If tasks.md is missing, it suggests running /sdd-propose first. If all tasks are already marked complete, it congratulates you and suggests archiving the change instead of implementing.

When should I not use sdd-implement?▼

Do not use it for proposing new changes, designing architecture, or verifying completed work. Those belong to other skills in the workflow, and verification is handled by running /sdd-verify after implementation.
