What problem does it solve?
This skill addresses the challenge of implementing complex software features in a fragmented way, ensuring that every vertical slice is fully owned, tested, and wired into the production path without creating technical debt or dual-code paths.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Vertical Slice Ownership: Ensures developers own the full stack of a feature from types to wiring.
- TDD-First Workflow: Enforces writing tests that import actual production code before implementation begins.
- Validation-Case Contract: Integrates concrete validation cases into the definition of done for every request.
- Use Case: When assigned a Beads task for a new CLI command, use this skill to plan backwards from the production code path, write tests that verify the feature's contract, and implement the service with real dependencies.
Quick Start
Use the worker-implement skill to guide the implementation of your assigned vertical slice task by following the backward planning and TDD steps.
