spec-implement

Executing a specification-driven implementation plan involves coordinating Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish phases with explicit dependencies and gating to ensure robust progress reporting and completion validation across the project lifecycle.

A phase-driven task execution workflow coordinates sequential development steps with dependency rules and quality gates, ensuring each phase passes validation before proceeding to the next step in the implementation plan.

Yes, spec-based implementation applies to repositories with a .specify workflow, requiring a formal task plan defined in the repository's spec tooling to coordinate setup, tests, core development, integration, and polish.

Yes, human-in-the-loop checks are supported for sync tasks during automated task execution, allowing you to validate phase gates and approve dependencies before the workflow proceeds to subsequent implementation steps.

Progress reporting during spec-based project implementation provides real-time updates, error context, and completion status across phases, detecting and surfacing extension hooks before and after implementation to ensure validation.

Automating workflow execution with quality gates requires strict adherence to dependency rules and phase sequencing, meaning tasks cannot proceed until prior gates pass, which may slow development if validation fails or human-in-the-loop checks delay sync tasks.
