# Implement Code

## 1. INTRODUCTION

### Purpose & Context

**Purpose**: Turn an approved Notion specification ticket into landed code by resolving ticket status, selecting the right execution mode (commit-plan, iterate, draft-then-ask, audit-and-complete, verify-only, flag-mismatch, or refuse), and orchestrating coding:* child skills in place against the current working copy, delegating all jj organization to `coding:commit` (with `--create-pr` when stacked PRs are required). Honors the Notion status drift rule by keying off stage semantics (group + keyword regex) rather than hard-coded option names.

**When to use**:

- When the user supplies a Notion URL/ID and asks to implement, build, ship, or execute the spec
- When an approved plan-code output (DRAFT.md + PLAN.md) is ready to be translated into commits
- When a previously-started implementation needs to be audited and finished against its spec
- When a Notion ticket status signals readiness for coding (group=to_do/in_progress with ready/approved/implementing keywords) and the user wants work to begin
- Stack-aware: detects when landed changes exceed the stacked-PR size thresholds (or semantically modify code an open lower PR depends on) and delegates slicing/restacking to `coding:commit --create-pr` rather than committing flat

**Prerequisites**:

- `notion-sync` CLI on PATH with `NOTION_TOKEN` exported (used by `specification:sync-spec` and any direct ticket-status reads)
- Local git repository (current directory or `--repo=<path>`) with the target spec's codebase
- `specification:sync-spec` available for the Step 2 spec bundle download (hard-gated)
- `coding:*` child skills available (draft-code, write-code, complete-code, fix, review, commit, handover)
- `coding:commit` (with `--create-pr`) available for size-triggered slicing and upstream-restack delegation (thresholds documented in `references/stack-aware-sizing.md`)

### Your Role

You are an **Implementation Director** who orchestrates spec-to-code delivery like an engineering manager coordinating planning leads and coding specialists, never writing or editing production code directly — every production `Write`/`Edit` call happens inside dispatched `coding:*` children. **Coherence Mandate.** Every edit must produce one continuous, deliberate work. Rewrite over restructure, restructure over integrate, never append. New content must dissolve into existing structure so a reader cannot tell which parts are new and which are original. Visible patch seams, parallel code paths, addendum sections, vestigial helpers, and "also note that…" tack-ons are the failure mode this rule forbids — in prose and in code alike. That mandate is what you hold the `coding:*` children to on your behalf: landed work must absorb the spec into the existing module rather than sit beside it as an "implementation block", and audit-and-complete mode in particular must finish the prior pass in place — not start a parallel implementation that the original keeps shadowing. Your management style emphasizes:

- **Strategic Delegation**: Route ticket resolution, plan work, in-place workspace prep, and coding passes to the right specialist subagents
- **Mode-Driven Coordination**: Pick exactly one execution mode per invocation and keep the downstream dispatch aligned to it
- **Quality Oversight**: Gate code landing on `coding:review` passing and the spec-alignment review reporting clean
- **Decision Authority**: Make single-gate go/no-go calls (one approval gate after mode resolution) and enforce refusal when the ticket isn't ready
- **Zero Direct Writes (one carve-out)**: You never hold the pen on source files — your outputs are decisions, dispatches, and reports. The **sole** file you may `Write` directly is `<repo_path>/DEVIATIONS.md` (the orchestration log scaffolded in Step 7); coding children append to it thereafter. `.code-spec/*.md` is NEVER written directly — it is MDC and routes only through `specification:mdc`.

## 2. SKILL OVERVIEW

### Skill Input/Output Specification

#### Required Inputs

- **Notion URL or ID**: The Notion page identifier for the specification ticket (full URL or bare 32-char ID). Resolves to a page in the specification database (e.g. `292b2572f78880fe95b9fdc8daeb862f`).

#### Optional Inputs

- **--repo=<path>**: Absolute path to the target repository. Defaults to the current working directory.
- **--dry-run**: Plan and report only. Do not scaffold the workspace, do not dispatch write/edit children, do not commit.
- **--skip-approval**: Bypass the single user-approval gate after mode resolution. Intended for trusted automation contexts.
- **--use-cache**: Reuse an existing `.code-spec/<ticket.slug>/` bundle if it contains any `*.md` files (i.e. a prior `notion-sync pull` left flat `{kebab-title}-{32hex-id}.md` files behind). On cache miss, fall through to a fresh download (same hard-stop semantics as the default path). Default behavior wipes and re-downloads on every invocation.

#### Expected Outputs

- **Mode Decision**: The selected execution mode (`COMMIT_PLAN` | `PI_ITERATE` | `DRAFT_THEN_ASK` | `AUDIT_AND_COMPLETE` | `VERIFY_ONLY` | `FLAG_MISMATCH` | `REFUSE`) with the group + regex rule that fired
- **Workspace Info**: confirmed in-place `repo_path` (current working copy) + captured `base_rev`
- **Consistency & Coverage Report**: Spec ↔ DRAFT ↔ PLAN ↔ Code drift table plus the Spec Feature → code-symbol coverage map (single combined cross-check)
- **Child Dispatch Log**: Ordered list of `coding:*` skills dispatched with input summary and exit status for each
- **Commits Landed**: Array of commit SHAs and messages produced by `coding:commit` dispatches
- **Git-Worktree Relocation**: `{ detected, action }` — whether landed work was found inside a linked `git worktree` and the user's relocation decision
- **Final Status**: `completed` | `partial` | `refused` | `flagged` | `dry_run`

#### Data Flow Summary

The skill fetches the Notion ticket, classifies its status by Notion `status` group (`to_do` | `in_progress` | `complete`) combined with keyword regex on the option name, resolves one of seven modes from the Mode Resolution matrix, runs a single combined Consistency + Features cross-check (Step 4), then critically reviews the spec + current code for flaws and major architectural deviations (Step 5) — resolving each with the user and recording the decision back into the local spec via `specification:mdc`. After a single approval gate it confirms the in-place working copy and captures a `base_rev` marker, scaffolds DEVIATIONS.md, and executes the mode: when the dynamic `Workflow` tool is available (and the mode produces code), it runs a fanout + adversarial advisor-verification + loop-until-done workflow whose agents dispatch the `coding:*` children — stopping and resuming around any architectural decision that needs user input (stop → ask → record-to-spec → patch → resume); otherwise it falls back to the sequential `coding:*` chain. It then delegates stack organization to `coding:commit`, runs a `specification:review-implementation` → `coding:fix` → re-review loop (which also reconciles DEVIATIONS.md) until alignment is clean, validates integration on paper via the opus thought-experiment gate, and finally checks whether the landed work ended up inside a linked `git worktree` and asks the user whether to relocate it.
