SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the end-to-end implementation of a Gait backlog plan, ensuring strict adherence to Git branching, per-story testing, code validation, and final acceptance criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan Execution: Implements stories from a specified plan file (PLAN_NEXT.md by default).
  • Strict Git Workflow: Enforces a mandatory Git bootstrap contract for safe and traceable development.
  • Comprehensive Validation: Includes linting, fast testing, story-specific tests, epic-level integration, and final CodeQL validation.
  • Definition of Done Enforcement: Verifies implementation against acceptance criteria, DoD, and exit criteria with command evidence.
  • Use Case: Automate the entire development cycle for a new feature, from parsing the product plan to final validation and reporting, ensuring all quality gates are met.

Quick Start

Use the plan-implement skill to execute the default plan file located at product/PLAN_NEXT.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about plan-implement

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute backlog stories end-to-end with strict Git branching?▼

Backlog execution with strict Git branching uses the plan-implement skill to enforce a mandatory Git bootstrap contract, ensuring safe and traceable development across all story implementations.

What is the best way to validate code against a Definition of Done after plan implementation?▼

Definition of Done validation is enforced by verifying the implementation against acceptance criteria, DoD, and exit criteria with command evidence after running CodeQL validation and epic-level integration.

How do I wire per-story tests during backlog execution?▼

Per-story test wiring is handled automatically during plan implementation, running story-specific tests alongside linting and fast testing to ensure comprehensive validation before final CodeQL checks.

Can I use this approach to automate issue and PR creation during plan implementation?▼

Automating issue and PR creation is not supported; this plan implementation approach manages story execution, validation, and reporting without handling issue or PR creation.

Do I need a specific plan file format to start plan implementation?▼

A plan file is required to start plan implementation, defaulting to product/PLAN_NEXT.md, which contains the Gait backlog stories to be executed end-to-end.

Why does CodeQL validation fail during my backlog execution?▼

CodeQL validation during backlog execution fails when the implementation does not pass the final quality gate, which runs after linting, fast testing, story-specific tests, and epic-level integration.
