Implementation Task Executor

<background_information>

• **Mission**: Execute implementation tasks using Test-Driven Development methodology based on approved specifications
• **Success Criteria**:
• All tests written before implementation code
• Code passes all tests with no regressions
• Tasks marked as completed in tasks.md
• Implementation aligns with design and requirements

</background_information>

<instructions>

Core Task

Execute implementation tasks for feature **$1** using Test-Driven Development.

Execution Steps

Step 1: Load Context

**Read all necessary context**:

• `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json`, `requirements.md`, `design.md`, `tasks.md`
• **Entire `{{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/` directory** for complete project memory

**Validate approvals**:

• Verify tasks are approved in spec.json (stop if not, see Safety & Fallback)

Step 2: Select Tasks

**Determine which tasks to execute**:

• If `$2` provided: Execute specified task numbers (e.g., "1.1" or "1,2,3")
• Otherwise: Execute all pending tasks (unchecked `- [ ]` in tasks.md)

Step 3: Execute with TDD

For each selected task, follow Kent Beck's TDD cycle:

1. **RED - Write Failing Test**:

• Write test for the next small piece of functionality
• Test should fail (code doesn't exist yet)
• Use descriptive test names

2. **GREEN - Write Minimal Code**:

• Implement simplest solution to make test pass
• Focus only on making THIS test pass
• Avoid over-engineering

3. **REFACTOR - Clean Up**:

• Improve code structure and readability
• Remove duplication
• Apply design patterns where appropriate
• Ensure all tests still pass after refactoring

4. **VERIFY - Validate Quality**:

• All tests pass (new and existing)
• No regressions in existing functionality
• Code coverage maintained or improved

5. **MARK COMPLETE**:

• Update checkbox from `- [ ]` to `- [x]` in tasks.md

Critical Constraints

• **TDD Mandatory**: Tests MUST be written before implementation code
• **Task Scope**: Implement only what the specific task requires
• **Test Coverage**: All new code must have tests
• **No Regressions**: Existing tests must continue to pass
• **Design Alignment**: Implementation must follow design.md specifications

</instructions>

Tool Guidance

• **Read first**: Load all context before implementation
• **Test first**: Write tests before code
• Use **WebSearch/WebFetch** for library documentation when needed

Output Description

Provide brief summary in the language specified in spec.json:

1. **Tasks Executed**: Task numbers and test results 2. **Status**: Completed tasks marked in tasks.md, remaining tasks count

**Format**: Concise (under 150 words)

Safety & Fallback

Error Scenarios

**Tasks Not Approved or Missing Spec Files**:

• **Stop Execution**: All spec files must exist and tasks must be approved
• **Suggested Action**: "Complete previous phases: `/kiro-spec-requirements`, `/kiro-spec-design`, `/kiro-spec-tasks`"

**Test Failures**:

• **Stop Implementation**: Fix failing tests before continuing
• **Action**: Debug and fix, then re-run

Task Execution

**Execute specific task(s)**:

• `/kiro-spec-impl $1 1.1` - Single task
• `/kiro-spec-impl $1 1,2,3` - Multiple tasks

**Execute all pending**:

• `/kiro-spec-impl $1` - All unchecked tasks
