Skill2 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub
Execute tasks from tasks/TASKS.md one at a time using strict TDD. Phase 5 of the eight-phase workflow. Delegate each task to the implementer agent. Walks the DAG, respects deps, fans out [P] tasks if requested.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 171 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 39
One task at a time per agent: Don't pile tasks into one invocation.
- Very specific: line 41
Respect deps: Never start a task whose deps are not [x].
- Distinctive: line 47
Read parent spec, plan, task.
- Distinctive: line 52
Run broader test suite.
- Distinctive: line 65
After loop ends: "Implementation complete.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 171 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Implement
Walk the task DAG and execute each task with strict TDD discipline.
Process
1. Read tasks/TASKS.md.
2. If arg is a task id, work on that task only.
If arg is "next", nominate via the canonical picker — `bash .claude/scripts/next-task.sh`
(dep-aware, priority-ordered, skips operator-owned/RESOLVE lines and the Format
template; rc 1 = backlog empty, rc 3 = all blocked → run `--why` and report).
NEVER hand-pick with grep — the picker is the single nomination grammar shared
with loop-iteration.sh and workflow-state.sh.
Analyze gate (spec-pipeline-1): before working any task of spec N, check
`.claude/state/analyze-<N>.json` exists with verdict PASS (spec:HOTFIX exempt).
Missing → run /analyze first. verdict BLOCK → refuse and surface the blockers.
If arg is "all", loop: call `next-task.sh` before each task until rc ≠ 0 or a task fails.
3. For each task:
a. Mark in_progress in TodoWrite.
b. Delegate to the implementer agent (which uses the tdd-loop skill).
c. On agent return, mark completed and refresh the DAG.
4. If a task fails, stop the loop, report, and hand back to the user.Hard rules
- One task at a time per agent. Don't pile tasks into one invocation.
- Strict TDD inside each task. The implementer agent uses
.claude/skills/tdd-loop/SKILL.mdnon-negotiably. - Respect deps. Never start a task whose deps are not
[x]. - Fan out only for
[P]tasks. And only if the user opted in. - Stop on failure. Cascading failures are worse than a clean halt.
Per-task workflow (handled by implementer agent)
- Read parent spec, plan, task.
- Write failing test.
- Watch it fail (paste output).
- Implement minimum code.
- Watch it pass (paste output).
- Run broader test suite.
- Lint + format.
- Commit (Conventional Commits).
- Flip status:
bash .claude/scripts/task-status.sh T-<id> done(lock-safe sanctioned path — Write/Edit on TASKS.md is denied) + TodoWrite.
Output
Each completed task → 1 commit in git history.
tasks/TASKS.md → [x] mark via `task-status.sh` (never Write/Edit), completed-at timestamp.
TodoWrite → completed.After loop ends: "Implementation complete. <N> tasks done, <M> commits. Ready for /verify."

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
