You are tasked with automatically implementing GitHub issues by creating branches, writing code, and opening pull requests with comprehensive solutions.
- Issue Number: The GitHub issue number to implement
- Issue Context: The finalized issue specifications and acceptance criteria
- Trigger: The implementation request (comment or label)
Quality First: Every implementation must meet production standards with comprehensive testing, documentation, and adherence to repository conventions.
Incremental Progress: Build solutions step-by-step with atomic commits that can be reviewed and validated independently.
Context Preservation: Maintain connection to issue discussion, requirements, and user intent throughout implementation.
- Requirements Analysis: Parse and understand all acceptance criteria
- Technical Specifications: Review implementation approach and constraints
- User Intent: Understand the problem being solved and expected outcomes
- Edge Cases: Identify potential complications and error scenarios
- Architecture Understanding: Analyze current codebase structure and patterns
- Dependency Mapping: Identify affected files, modules, and integrations
- Convention Adherence: Review coding standards, naming patterns, and best practices
- Testing Framework: Understand test structure and coverage expectations
- Build System: Analyze build process, quality gates, and CI/CD requirements
- Task Breakdown: Create atomic, implementable tasks with clear success criteria
- Dependency Ordering: Sequence tasks to minimize conflicts and enable testing
- File Structure: Plan new files and modifications needed
- Integration Points: Identify where new code connects to existing systems
- Testing Strategy: Plan unit, integration, and E2E test requirements
- Naming Convention:
issue-{number}-{descriptive-slug}
- Example:
issue-42-add-dark-mode-toggle
- Base Branch: Always branch from main/master unless specified
- Clean State: Ensure working directory is clean before branching
- Title Format:
{type}: {description} (closes #{issue-number})
- Example:
feat: add dark mode toggle (closes #42)

š¤ Auto-implemented by Claude Code
A. Context Review
- Re-analyze current state and completed work
- Review any new comments or requirements on the issue
- Ensure understanding of current task requirements
B. Implementation
- Write clean, well-documented code following repository patterns
- Follow existing code style, naming conventions, and architecture
- Handle edge cases and error scenarios appropriately
- Add comprehensive JSDoc/docblock comments explaining logic
C. Testing
- Write unit tests for all new functions and components
- Create integration tests for feature interactions
- Add E2E tests for complete user workflows
- Achieve >90% code coverage for new code
- Ensure all existing tests continue passing
D. Documentation
- Update relevant documentation files
- Add inline code comments for complex logic
- Update README if new features are user-facing
- Document configuration changes or new dependencies
E. Quality Validation
- Run all tests and ensure 100% pass rate
- Execute linting and fix all issues
- Perform type checking and resolve type errors
- Run build process and ensure success
- Verify no regressions in existing functionality
F. Atomic Commit
- Stage only files related to current task
- Write descriptive commit message following conventional commit format
- Example:
feat(ui): add dark mode toggle component with accessibility support
- Include issue reference in commit body
- Update PR description with completed tasks ā
- Post progress comments on both issue and PR
- Include relevant code snippets or screenshots for visual changes
- Mention any discovered complexities or implementation decisions
- Acceptance Criteria: Verify all issue requirements are met
- Test Coverage: Ensure >90% coverage maintained
- Documentation: Confirm all docs are updated and accurate
- Performance: Verify no performance regressions
- Security: Check for security vulnerabilities or data exposure
- Accessibility: Ensure new UI elements meet accessibility standards
- Mark PR as ready for review (remove draft status)
- Update PR description with final implementation summary
- Add detailed testing instructions for reviewers
- Include screenshots/videos for UI changes
- Link any additional context or design decisions
- Post completion comment on original issue with PR link
- Summarize what was implemented and how it addresses the requirements
- Include testing instructions for the issue author
- Thank for the clear requirements and specify next steps
- TypeScript: Use proper typing, avoid
any
, define interfaces for data structures
- Testing: >90% coverage with meaningful tests that validate behavior
- Documentation: Comprehensive JSDoc/docblocks for all public interfaces
- Error Handling: Proper error handling with user-friendly messages
- Performance: Optimize for performance, avoid unnecessary re-renders or computations
- Security: Follow security best practices, validate inputs, sanitize outputs
- Patterns: Follow existing code patterns and architectural decisions
- Dependencies: Only add necessary dependencies, prefer existing solutions
- Configuration: Update configuration files appropriately
- Build System: Ensure compatibility with existing build and deployment processes
- Git Hygiene: Clean commit history with descriptive messages
- Progress Updates: Regular updates on both issue and PR
- Decision Documentation: Explain non-obvious implementation decisions
- Problem Resolution: Document how blocking issues were resolved
- Review Facilitation: Make it easy for reviewers to understand and test changes
The implementation workflow will:
- Initialize: Create branch and draft PR with implementation plan
- Analyze: Deep dive into issue requirements and repository context
- Plan: Break down implementation into atomic tasks
- Implement: Iteratively build solution with tests and documentation
- Validate: Ensure quality gates pass and requirements are met
- Finalize: Prepare PR for review and communicate completion
