SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a written specification and task breakdown into working code requires disciplined, phase-by-phase execution; this Skill automates that by reading tasks.md and plan.md from a spec-kit project and implementing every task in dependency order. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task-Driven Implementation: Parses tasks.md for phases, dependencies, and parallel [P] markers, then executes setup, tests, core, integration, and polish phases in order with TDD discipline. - Checklist Gating: Scans checklists in the feature directory, reports pass/fail status, and asks for confirmation before proceeding when items are unchecked. - Project Setup Verification: Detects the tech stack and creates or verifies ignore files (.gitignore, .dockerignore, .eslintignore, etc.) with technology-appropriate patterns. - Extension Hooks: Runs optional and mandatory before/after implementation hooks declared in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After running speckit-specify, speckit-plan, and speckit-tasks on a new feature, invoke this Skill to implement the entire task list, marking each completed task as [X] and reporting progress per phase. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the speckit-implement skill to execute all tasks in tasks.md for the current feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement a feature from a spec-kit tasks.md file?▼

Run the speckit-implement skill after generating tasks.md with speckit-tasks. It parses the task phases and dependencies, executes tasks in order with a TDD approach, and marks each completed task as [X] in the tasks file.

What prerequisites does speckit-implement need before running?▼

It requires a spec-kit project with a .specify directory and a feature folder containing tasks.md and plan.md. It runs check-prerequisites.sh to resolve paths and optionally reads data-model.md, contracts, research.md, and quickstart.md for context.

Does speckit-implement stop if checklists have unchecked items?▼

Yes. It scans all checklist files in the feature's checklists directory, builds a status table, and if any items are unchecked it stops and asks whether to proceed. It never modifies checklist files itself.

How does speckit-implement handle parallel and failed tasks?▼

Tasks marked [P] can run in parallel, while tasks touching the same files run sequentially. Execution halts if a non-parallel task fails; for parallel tasks it continues with successful ones and reports the failures with debugging context.

What are extension hooks in speckit-implement?▼

Hooks are commands declared under hooks.before_implement and hooks.after_implement in .specify/extensions.yml. Mandatory hooks are executed automatically and the skill waits for their result; optional hooks are presented to the user for manual invocation.
