Implementing a GitHub issue

Sequential steps to be followed when using this skill

When implementing a GitHub issue, follow those steps.

Create the implementing-github-issue Execution Checklist (MANDATORY)

• Before executing anything, create a checklist named implementing-github-issue Execution Checklist with all steps of these instructions.
• The implementing-github-issue Execution Checklist must include all numbered steps explicitly.
• After completing each step of these instructions, mark the item in the implementing-github-issue Execution Checklist as completed.
• Do not skip any item.
• If an item cannot be executed, explicitly explain why.
• Never mark the task as completed while any item from the implementing-github-issue Execution Checklist remains open.

1. Inform the user

• Always tell the user "SKILL: I am implementing a GitHub issue" to inform the user that you are running this skill.

2. Analyze the GitHub issue requirements to get an implementation plan (can be done when in Plan mode)

• Always use skill: analyzing-github-issue to get a full implementation plan. This plan will take into consideration requirements from the issue, user inputs and the project's context.

3. Implement the issue following the implementation plan

• Always perform all the agreed steps from the implementation plan to implement the issue.
• Always perform a final verification of the implementation plan against all the actions you did. If you think some steps of the implementation plan were not implemented properly or are missing, fix it or inform the user about those missing steps.

4. Validate all production quality checks

• Always use skill: validating-production-quality before attempting task completion to make sure that all needed quality gates are passing.

Final Verification (MANDATORY)

Before declaring the task complete:

• Re-list all numbered steps from the implementing-github-issue Execution Checklist.
• Confirm each one was executed.
• If any step was not executed, execute it now.

When to use it

• This skill can be used when in Plan mode.
• Always use it every time another skill specifically mentions skill: implementing-github-issue.
• Always use it every time the user asks you to implement a GitHub issue.
• Always use it every time you need to implement a GitHub issue.

Usage and code examples

Implementing a GitHub issue

This skill should perform the following steps:

1. Use the skill named analyzing-github-issue to get an implementation plan
2. Execute all the steps that are identified in the implementation plan
3. Use the skill named validating-production-quality to check all production quality gates
