implement

What it does

/cl-dev:implement executes an approved implementation plan one phase at a time. For each phase it writes the code, runs your project's quality checks (such as linting, type checks, and tests), and commits the work, then updates your draft pull request as it progresses. You stay in the loop the whole way: you see each phase land and can steer or pause between them.

When to use it

Reach for /cl-dev:implement once a plan has been approved and you're ready to turn it into working code. It's the build step of the workflow, right after approve-plan and before you consolidate what the change taught your knowledge base.

Use it when:

• An issue has a phased implementation plan that's been approved.
• You want the change built incrementally, with checks and commits at each phase rather than one large drop.

If a plan doesn't exist yet, start with create-impl-plan first.

How to invoke it

From within your coding agent, in the repository you're working in:

/cl-dev:implement

It works against the issue and plan you already have in context, so make sure you've claimed the issue and its plan is approved before you run it. If you're returning to work in progress, run set-context first to bring the current state back into your session.

Prefer to hand the build off to run on its own? Delegate it to the CodeLantern cloud agent with handoff.
