SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams implement code changes by driving the work directly from a GitHub issue-backed spec, executing a structured checklist, and enforcing proper issue tracking to align work with a plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

Drive implementation from an issue-backed spec and attached plan, ensuring traceability from issue to code.
Enforce guards such as mandatory issue numbers, pre-execution hook checks, and living-docs loading to inform development context.
Support end-to-end iterations: plan, implement, and verify via automated checks and documentation updates.

Quick Start

Provide a GitHub issue number to begin implementing the task from the issue plan.

FAQPage Schema

How do I implement features from a GitHub issue spec automatically?▼

To implement features from a GitHub issue spec automatically, you provide the issue number to execute a structured task checklist, enforcing issue tracking and pre-execution checks to guide development.

Can I enforce mandatory GitHub issue numbers before starting an implementation workflow?▼

Yes, you can enforce mandatory GitHub issue numbers before starting an implementation workflow. The system requires a valid issue input to execute the issue-backed task checklist and apply constitution-rule validation.

What is an issue-backed spec and how does it guide software development?▼

An issue-backed spec is a development plan linked directly to a GitHub issue. It guides software development by driving end-to-end code implementation through a structured checklist, ensuring traceability from issue to code.

Does implementing code from a spec support automated checks and living docs loading?▼

Yes, implementing code from a spec supports automated checks and living docs loading. The workflow applies pre-execution hook checks and loads living documentation to inform development context during execution.

What are the limitations of automating code implementation from an issue-backed spec?▼

Automating code implementation from an issue-backed spec requires a pre-existing GitHub issue and an attached plan to function. Without mandatory issue input and living docs, the execution workflow cannot properly validate or guide the coding process.
