Implement a validated specification by orchestrating concurrent agents
Command definition
execute.mddescription: Implement a validated specification by orchestrating concurrent agents
category: validation
allowed-tools: Task, Read, TodoWrite, Grep, Glob, Bash(claudekit:status stm), Bash(stm:*), Bash(jq:*)
argument-hint: "<path-to-spec-file>"
Implement Specification
Implement the specification at: $ARGUMENTS
!claudekit status stm
Pre-Execution Checks
1. **Check Task Management**:
- If STM shows "Available but not initialized" → Run `stm init` first, then `/spec:decompose` to create tasks
- If STM shows "Available and initialized" → Use STM for tasks
- If STM shows "Not installed" → Use TodoWrite instead
2. **Verify Specification**:
- Confirm spec file exists and is complete
- Check that required tools are available
- Stop if anything is missing or unclear
Implementation Process
1. Analyze Specification
Read the specification to understand:
- What components need to be built
- Dependencies between components
- Testing requirements
- Success criteria
2. Load or Create Tasks
**Using STM** (if available):
stm list --status pending -f json
**Using TodoWrite** (fallback): Create tasks for each component in the specification
3. Implementation Workflow
For each task, follow this cycle:
**Available Agents:** !`claudekit list agents`
Step 1: Implement
Launch appropriate specialist agent:
Task tool:
- description: "Implement [component name]"
- subagent_type: [choose specialist that matches the task]
- prompt: |
First run: stm show [task-id]
This will give you the full task details and requirements.
Then implement the component based on those requirements.
Follow project code style and add error handling.
Report back when complete.Step 2: Write Tests
Launch testing expert:
Task tool:
- description: "Write tests for [component]"
- subagent_type: testing-expert [or jest/vitest-testing-expert]
- prompt: |
First run: stm show [task-id]
Write comprehensive tests for the implemented component.
Cover edge cases and aim for >80% coverage.
Report back when complete.Then run tests to verify they pass.
Step 3: Code Review (Required)
**Important:** Always run code review to verify both quality AND completeness. Task cannot be marked done without passing both.
Launch code review expert:
Task tool:
- description: "Review [component]"
- subagent_type: code-review-expert
- prompt: |
First run: stm show [task-id]
Review implementation for BOTH:
1. COMPLETENESS - Are all requirements from the task fully implemented?
2. QUALITY - Code quality, security, error handling, test coverage
Categorize any issues as: CRITICAL, IMPORTANT, or MINOR.
Report if implementation is COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE.
Report back with findings.Step 4: Fix Issues & Complete Implementation
If code review found the implementation INCOMPLETE or has CRITICAL issues:
1. Launch specialist to complete/fix:
Task tool:
- description: "Complete/fix [component]"
- subagent_type: [specialist matching the task]
- prompt: |
First run: stm show [task-id]
Address these items from code review:
- Missing requirements: [list any incomplete items]
- Critical issues: [list any critical issues]
Update tests if needed.
Report back when complete.2. Re-run tests to verify fixes
3. Re-review to confirm both COMPLETE and quality standards met
4. Only when implementation is COMPLETE and all critical issues fixed:
- If using STM: `stm update [task-id] --status done`
- If using TodoWrite: Mark task as completed
Step 5: Commit Changes
Create atomic commit following project conventions:
git add [files]
git commit -m "[follow project's commit convention]"
4. Track Progress
Monitor implementation progress:
**Using STM:**
stm list --pretty # View all tasks
stm list --status pending # Pending tasks
stm list --status in-progress # Active tasks
stm list --status done # Completed tasks
**Using TodoWrite:** Track tasks in the session with status indicators.
5. Complete Implementation
Implementation is complete when:
- All tasks are COMPLETE (all requirements implemented)
- All tasks pass quality review (no critical issues)
- All tests passing
- Documentation updated
If Issues Arise
If any agent encounters problems: 1. Identify the specific issue 2. Launch appropriate specialist to resolve 3. Or request user assistance if blocked
