<!-- SYNC:understand-code-first -->[IMPORTANT] Use
TaskCreateto break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.
<!-- /SYNC:understand-code-first -->Understand Code First — HARD-GATE: Do NOT write, plan, or fix until you READ existing code.
- Search 3+ similar patterns (
grep/glob) — citefile:lineevidence- Read existing files in target area — understand structure, base classes, conventions
- Run
python .claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file> --direction both --jsonwhen.code-graph/graph.dbexists- Map dependencies via
connectionsorcallers_of— know what depends on your target- Write investigation to
.ai/workspace/analysis/for non-trivial tasks (3+ files)- Re-read analysis file before implementing — never work from memory alone
- NEVER invent new patterns when existing ones work — match exactly or document deviation

Quick Summary
Goal: Execute an implementation plan phase end-to-end without running tests (code + review + commit).
Workflow:
- Plan Detection — Find latest plan or use provided path, auto-select next incomplete phase
- Analysis — Extract tasks from phase file, initialize todo tracking
- Implementation — Code changes step-by-step, run type checks
- Code Review — Subagent reviews for security, performance, architecture violations
- User Approval — Blocking gate requiring explicit approval
- Finalize — Update plan status, docs, auto-commit
Key Rules:
- One phase per command run, steps must complete in order
- Critical code review issues block progression (must be 0)
- User must explicitly approve before finalize step
MUST ATTENTION READ CLAUDE.md then THINK HARDER to start working on the following plan follow the Orchestration Protocol, Core Responsibilities, Subagents Team and Development Rules:
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
<plan>$ARGUMENTS</plan>
Role Responsibilities
- You are a senior software engineer who must study the provided implementation plan end-to-end before writing code.
- Validate the plan's assumptions, surface blockers, and confirm priorities with the user prior to execution.
- Drive the implementation from start to finish, reporting progress and adjusting the plan responsibly while honoring YAGNI, KISS, and DRY principles.
IMPORTANT: Remind these rules with subagents communication:
- Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing reports.
- In reports, list any unresolved questions at the end, if any.
- Ensure token efficiency while maintaining high quality.
Step 0: Plan Detection & Phase Selection
If $ARGUMENTS is empty:
- Find latest
plan.mdin./plans|find ./plans -name "plan.md" -type f -exec stat -f "%m %N" {} \; 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f2- - Parse plan for phases and status, auto-select next incomplete (prefer IN_PROGRESS or earliest Planned)
If $ARGUMENTS provided: Use that plan and detect which phase to work on (auto-detect or use argument like "phase-2").
Output: ✓ Step 0: [Plan Name] - [Phase Name]
Subagent Pattern (use throughout):
Task(subagent_type="[type]", prompt="[task description]", description="[brief]")
Workflow Sequence
Rules: Follow steps 1-6 in order. Each step requires output marker starting with "✓ Step N:". Mark each complete in TaskCreate before proceeding. Do not skip steps.
Step 1: Analysis & Task Extraction
Read plan file completely. Map dependencies between tasks. List ambiguities or blockers. Identify required skills/tools and activate from catalog. Parse phase file and extract actionable tasks. If the plan references analysis files in .ai/workspace/analysis/, re-read them before implementation.
TaskCreate Initialization & Task Extraction:
- Initialize TaskCreate with
Step 0: [Plan Name] - [Phase Name]and all command steps (Step 1 through Step 6) - Read phase file (e.g., phase-01-preparation.md)
- Look for tasks/steps/phases/sections/numbered/bulleted lists
- MUST ATTENTION convert to TaskCreate tasks:
- Phase Implementation tasks → Step 2.X (Step 2.1, Step 2.2, etc.)
- Phase Code Review tasks → Step 3.X (Step 3.1, Step 3.2, etc.)
- Ensure each task has UNIQUE name (increment X for each task)
- Add tasks to TaskCreate after their corresponding command step
Output: ✓ Step 1: Found [N] tasks across [M] phases - Ambiguities: [list or "none"]
Mark Step 1 complete in TaskCreate, mark Step 2 in_progress.
Step 2: Implementation
Implement selected plan phase step-by-step following extracted tasks (Step 2.1, Step 2.2, etc.). Mark tasks complete as done. For UI work, call ui-ux-designer subagent: "Implement [feature] UI per ./docs/design-guidelines.md". Use ai-multimodal skill for image assets, media-processing skill for editing. Run type checking and compile to verify no syntax errors.
Output: ✓ Step 2: Implemented [N] files - [X/Y] tasks complete, compilation passed
Mark Step 2 complete in TaskCreate, mark Step 3 in_progress.
Step 3: Code Review
Call code-reviewer subagent: "Review changes for plan phase [phase-name]. Check security, performance, architecture, YAGNI/KISS/DRY". If critical issues found: STOP, fix all, re-run tester to verify, re-run code-reviewer. Repeat until no critical issues.
Critical issues: Security vulnerabilities (XSS, SQL injection, OWASP), performance bottlenecks, architectural violations, principle violations.
Output: ✓ Step 3: Code reviewed - [0] critical issues
Validation: If critical issues > 0, Step 3 INCOMPLETE - do not proceed.
Mark Step 3 complete in TaskCreate, mark Step 4 in_progress.
Step 4: User Approval ⏸ BLOCKING GATE
Present summary (3-5 bullets): what implemented, code review outcome.
Ask user explicitly: "Phase implementation complete. Code reviewed. Approve changes?"
Stop and wait - do not output Step 5 content until user responds.
Output (while waiting): ⏸ Step 4: WAITING for user approval
Output (after approval): ✓ Step 4: User approved - Ready to complete
Mark Step 4 complete in TaskCreate, mark Step 5 in_progress.
Step 5: Finalize
Prerequisites: User approved in Step 4 (verified above).
- STATUS UPDATE - BOTH MANDATORY - PARALLEL EXECUTION:
- Call
project-managersub-agent: "Update plan status in [plan-path]. Mark plan phase [phase-name] as DONE with timestamp. Update roadmap." - Call
docs-managersub-agent: "Update docs for plan phase [phase-name]. Changed files: [list]."
-
ONBOARDING CHECK: Detect onboarding requirements (API keys, env vars, config) + generate summary report with next steps.
-
AUTO-COMMIT (after steps 1 and 2 completes):
- Run only if: Steps 1 and 2 successful + User approved + Tests passed
- Auto-stage, commit with message [phase - plan] and push
Validation: Steps 1 and 2 must complete successfully. Step 3 (auto-commit) runs only if conditions met.
Mark Step 5 complete in TaskCreate.
Phase workflow finished. Ready for next plan phase.
Critical Enforcement Rules
Step outputs must follow unified format: ✓ Step [N]: [Brief status] - [Key metrics]
Examples:
- Step 0:
✓ Step 0: [Plan Name] - [Phase Name] - Step 1:
✓ Step 1: Found [N] tasks across [M] phases - Ambiguities: [list] - Step 2:
✓ Step 2: Implemented [N] files - [X/Y] tasks complete - Step 3:
✓ Step 3: Code reviewed - [0] critical issues - Step 4:
✓ Step 4: User approved - Ready to complete - Step 5:
✓ Step 5: Finalize - Status updated - Git committed
If any "✓ Step N:" output missing, that step is INCOMPLETE.
TaskCreate tracking required: Initialize at Step 0, mark each step complete before next.
Mandatory subagent calls:
- Step 3:
code-reviewer - Step 4:
project-managerANDdocs-manager(when user approves)
Blocking gates:
- Step 3: Critical issues must be 0
- Step 4: User must explicitly approve
- Step 5: Both
project-manageranddocs-managermust complete successfully
REMEMBER:
- Do not skip steps. Do not proceed if validation fails. Do not assume approval without user response.
- One plan phase per command run. Command focuses on single plan phase only.
- You can always generate images with
ai-multimodalskill on the fly for visual assets. - You always read and analyze the generated assets with
ai-multimodalskill to verify they meet requirements. - For image editing (removing background, adjusting, cropping), use
media-processingskill or similar tools as needed.
Next Steps (Standalone: MUST ATTENTION ask user via AskUserQuestion. Skip if inside workflow.)
MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — NO EXCEPTIONS: If this skill was called outside a workflow, you MUST ATTENTION use
AskUserQuestionto present these options. Do NOT skip because the task seems "simple" or "obvious" — the user decides:
- "Proceed with full workflow (Recommended)" — I'll detect the best workflow to continue from here (code implemented, no tests). This ensures review, testing, and docs steps aren't skipped.
- "/code-simplifier" — Simplify implementation
- "/workflow-review-changes" — Review changes before commit
- "Skip, continue manually" — user decides
If already inside a workflow, skip — the workflow handles sequencing.
