Implementation Notes

After completing implementation and review/fix for an Issue, capture a running implementation notes file that documents how the implementation diverges from or interprets the spec.

Triggers

Use when:

• After `/goal` implementation and `/review-it` are both complete
• User says "记录笔记", "implementation notes", "note-it", "/note-it"
• Before `/ship-it` (as a final checkpoint)
• Any time the user wants to capture design rationale

The Job

1. Determine the Issue number from context (branch name, `/goal` target, or user input) 2. Review the implementation against the Issue spec / PRD 3. Generate an HTML notes file at `docs/issue#XXXX.html` 4. Present a summary to the user

Notes Structure

The HTML file must cover these four categories. If a category has nothing to report, write "None" with a brief explanation.

1. Design Decisions

Choices made where the spec was ambiguous or silent:

• What was the ambiguity?
• What choice did you make?
• What was the rationale?

2. Deviations

Places where you intentionally departed from the spec:

• What did the spec say?
• What did you implement instead?
• Why was the deviation necessary or better?

3. Tradeoffs

Alternatives you considered and why you picked what you did:

• What were the viable alternatives?
• What were the pros/cons of each?
• Why did the chosen approach win?

4. Open Questions

Anything you'd want confirmed or revised:

• What assumption are you unsure about?
• What should the user verify?
• What might need follow-up?

Output

• **Format:** HTML
• **Location:** `docs/`
• **Filename:** `issue#XXXX.html` (where XXXX is the zero-padded Issue number, e.g., `issue#0042.html`)

Example Item

<div class="item">
  <h3><span class="label label-design">Decision</span> Used interface-based polymorphism instead of switch</h3>
  <p><strong>Ambiguity:</strong> The spec said "handle different types" without specifying how.</p>
  <p><strong>Choice:</strong> Defined a <code>Handler</code> interface with per-type implementations.</p>
  <p><strong>Rationale:</strong> Adding new types requires no changes to existing code (Open/Closed Principle). A switch would grow unboundedly.</p>
</div>

How to Determine the Issue Number

1. If the user provides it directly (e.g., `/note-it #42`), use it 2. If on a branch named `feat/issue-42-*` or `fix/issue-42-*`, extract `42` 3. If the last `/goal` target was `#42`, use `42` 4. Otherwise, ask the user: "Which Issue number should I use for the notes file?"

Edge Cases

| Scenario | Handling | |----------|----------| | No Issue number found | Ask the user to specify | | `docs
