AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The implement skill provides a systematic approach for developers to execute coding tasks based on provided specifications or issue tracker tickets. It enforces a disciplined development cycle that includes fetching requirements, utilizing test-driven development practices, performing regular validation through type checking and testing, and concluding with a formal code review and version control commit.

What it does

Fetches and clarifies requirements from issue trackers based on user references.
Integrates test-driven development practices at defined project seams.
Executes regular type checking and individual test file runs during implementation.
Runs the full test suite upon completion of the task.
Performs a final code review of the implemented changes.
Commits the completed work to the current branch.

When to use it

When you need to translate a technical specification or ticket into functional code.
When you want to ensure a consistent, test-backed implementation process.
When you require an automated workflow that includes validation and peer-style review.

Advantages

Promotes high code quality through integrated testing and review steps.
Reduces ambiguity by requiring clarification of ticket references.
Ensures consistent development habits by mandating regular type checking and test execution.
Streamlines the transition from requirement to committed code.

Usage examples

“Implement the feature described in ticket #123.”: The agent fetches the ticket details, confirms the scope, writes tests, implements the code, runs the test suite, performs a review, and commits the changes.

Install

Documentation by Matt Pocock

Implement the work described by the user in the spec or tickets.

If the user passes a ticket reference, fetch it from the issue tracker and state its title before starting. If the reference is ambiguous, ask.

Call the Skill tool with "tdd" where possible, at pre-agreed seams.

Run typechecking regularly, single test files regularly, and the full test suite once at the end.

Once done, call the Skill tool with "code-review" to review the work.

Commit your work to the current branch.

Iterate on the Cardputer-Adv MicroPython app bundle (Claude Buddy, Snake, Hello) after the device is already provisioned via m5-onboard. Use when the user wants to add a new app, push a single changed .py without re-flashing, watch device serial logs, or run a one-shot REPL command. Trigger on "add an app", "push to the cardputer", "tail the device", "run on the device", or follow-up work after /maker-setup.
