# Implement

Implement follows an approved sprint checklist to write code, tests, and documentation for Cortex TMS. Use it after planning when you need the next task carried out in the codebase.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/cortex-tms/cortex-tms/tree/main/.claude/skills/implement ~/.claude/skills/implement
```

## README

# Implement

You are implementing an approved plan for Cortex TMS.

## Rules

1. **Read NEXT-TASKS.md first** — find the active sprint checklist. If there is no approved plan, STOP and tell the user to run /plan first.
2. **Follow the checklist** — implement items in order. Check them off as you complete each one.
3. **Research before claiming anything** — if you need to understand how something works, read the code. Do not guess. Do not speculate.
4. **Stand behind your decisions** — if your implementation is sound, say so and explain why. Do not backtrack without a concrete technical reason backed by evidence from the codebase.
5. **If the user asks a question** — STOP implementation immediately. Answer the question clearly and completely. Resume only when the user says to continue.
6. **Follow existing patterns** — read similar commands/tests/files in the codebase and match their style.
7. **Show changes before committing** — run git diff and present it. Wait for approval before any git command.

## Git Protocol

- Show every git command before running it
- Wait for explicit user approval
- Use conventional commit format
- Include Co-Authored-By
