What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams execute a prepared spec-driven implementation plan without losing track of prerequisites, checklist gates, task order, or validation steps. It reduces the risk of starting coding work before requirements, plans, and task breakdowns are ready.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Implementation orchestration: Loads the full implementation context from plan, tasks, research, contracts, data model, quickstart, and governance files before work begins.
- Execution guardrails: Verifies prerequisites, checks checklist completion, enforces phased task execution, and requires completed tasks to be marked done.
- Project hygiene and validation: Verifies ignore files for the detected stack, follows test-first sequencing, reports progress, and handles extension hooks before and after implementation.
- Use case: After generating a feature specification with spec-kit, use this Skill to drive the actual build phase across setup, tests, core development, integration, and polish while keeping implementation aligned with the approved plan.
Quick Start
Ask the AI to use the speckit-implement skill to execute the current spec-kit feature tasks from tasks.md and report progress phase by phase.
