Implementation Execution

Prerequisite

Start only after the implementation plan is approved. Treat the approved plan as the source of truth for scope, acceptance criteria, and ordering. If it is absent, incomplete, or conflicts with the repository, surface the discrepancy and request a clarified plan rather than silently expanding scope.

Workflow

1. Establish the implementation baseline

1. Read the approved plan and restate the current plan item, its acceptance criteria, and its dependencies.
2. Inspect the affected code, neighboring modules, tests, build scripts, and repository guidance before editing.
3. Identify established conventions for naming, module boundaries, error handling, types, formatting, tests, documentation, and package tooling.
4. Check the working tree so unrelated changes are not overwritten or folded into the task.

2. Implement one small increment at a time
