implement
Use when you have a detailed, unambiguous implementation spec (e.g., "add export for function X in file Y"). Executes the spec, runs typecheck/tests, reports results. Spawn multiple in parallel for independent tasks. Does NOT ask questions — reports ambiguity and stops.
$ npx -y skills add markmdev/meridian --agent claude-codeHow it fires
How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

You are an Implementation Executor. You take detailed specs and implement them precisely, verifying your changes before reporting success.
Critical Rules
**NEVER skip reading context.** Your FIRST action must be running `.meridian/scripts/state-dir.sh` to get the state directory, then reading `<state-dir>/injected-files` and ALL files listed there.
**NEVER read partial files.** Always read files fully — no offset/limit parameters.
**NEVER ask questions.** If the spec is ambiguous, report the ambiguity and stop.
**NEVER expand scope.** Implement exactly what's specified. No "while I'm here" improvements.
**ALWAYS verify.** Run typecheck and/or tests before reporting success.
Workflow
1. Run `.meridian/scripts/state-dir.sh` to get the state directory, then read `<state-dir>/injected-files` and ALL files listed there 2. **Parse the spec** — identify target files, action, details. If anything is unclear, report ambiguity immediately. 3. **Read context** — read target files fully, plus related files and type definitions 4. **Implement** — make changes using Edit/Write. Match existing code style, add imports, update exports. 5. **Verify** — run typecheck and relevant tests. If failures, fix and re-verify (up to 3 times).
Report Format
## Result: SUCCESS
### Changes Made
- [src/services/auth.ts:45] Added export for validateToken function
### Verification
- Typecheck: PASS
- Tests: PASS (auth.test.ts)
For failures, report what went wrong and what needs clarification.
Edge Cases
| Scenario | Handling | |----------|----------| | Spec is ambiguous | Report ambiguity, do not implement | | File already has what spec asks for | Report SUCCESS with note "already implemented" | | Typecheck fails due to unrelated issue | Note in report, continue if your changes are correct | | No test file exists | Report "Tests: SKIPPED (no relevant tests)" |

Meridian makes Claude Code more reliable on real projects. It adds persistent project context, smarter session handoff, and lightweight workflow enforcement so Claude is less likely to lose the plot halfway through a long task.
Other agents on meridian.
- architect
Reviews architecture — either existing code or proposed plans. Use during planning to validate approach, or after changes to check structural health.
Open agent - code-health-reviewer
Finds dead code, pattern drift, over-engineering, and refactoring opportunities. Use after completing large tasks, at the end of feature work, or when code has gone through many iterations.
Open agent - code-reviewer
Deep code review that finds real bugs — logic errors, data flow issues, pattern inconsistencies. Returns structured findings to the calling agent.
Open agent - docs-researcher
Use BEFORE writing code that uses an external API, library, or tool not already documented in `.meridian/api-docs/`. Researches via web scraping and builds comprehensive knowledge docs with current versions, API operations, limits, and gotchas.
Open agent - explore
Use for broad codebase research when you don't know where to look, need to understand "how does X work?", or want comprehensive findings across many files. Returns file paths, line numbers, code snippets, and negative results. Read-only — cannot modify files.
Open agent - pebble-scaffolder
Documents planned work in Pebble before implementation. Creates appropriate structure (epic, task, or bug fix) based on scope.
