$ARGUMENTS
```
You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
## Outline
1. Run `.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
2. **Check checklists status** (if FEATURE_DIR/checklists/ exists):
- Scan all checklist files in the checklists/ directory
- For each checklist, count:
* Total items: All lines matching `- [ ]` or `- [X]` or `- [x]`
* Completed items: Lines matching `- [X]` or `- [x]`
* Incomplete items: Lines matching `- [ ]`
- Create a status table:
```
| Checklist | Total | Completed | Incomplete | Status |
|-----------|-------|-----------|------------|--------|
| ux.md | 12 | 12 | 0 | ✓ PASS |
| test.md | 8 | 5 | 3 | ✗ FAIL |
| security.md | 6 | 6 | 0 | ✓ PASS |
```
- Calculate overall status:
* **PASS**: All checklists have 0 incomplete items
* **FAIL**: One or more checklists have incomplete items
- **If any checklist is incomplete**:
* Display the table with incomplete item counts
* **STOP** and ask: "Some checklists are incomplete. Do you want to proceed with implementation anyway? (yes/no)"
* Wait for user response before continuing
* If user says "no" or "wait" or "stop", halt execution
* If user says "yes" or "proceed" or "continue", proceed to step 3
- **If all checklists are complete**:
* Display the table showing all checklists passed
* Automatically proceed to step 3
3. Load and analyze the implementation context:
- **REQUIRED**: Read tasks.md for the complete task list and execution plan
- **REQUIRED**: Read plan.md for tech stack, architecture, and file structure
- **IF EXISTS**: Read data-model.md for entities and relationships
- **IF EXISTS**: Read contracts/ for API specifications and test requirements
- **IF EXISTS**: Read research.md for technical decisions and constraints
- **IF EXISTS**: Read quickstart.md for integration scenarios
4. **Project Setup Verification**:
- **REQUIRED**: Create/verify ignore files based on actual project setup:
**Detection & Creation Logic**:
- Check if the following command succeeds to determine if the repository is a git repo (create/verify .gitignore if so):
```sh
git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null
```
- Check if Dockerfile* exists or Docker in plan.md → create/verify .dockerignore
- Check if .eslintrc* or eslint.config.* exists → create/verify .eslintignore
- Check if .prettierrc* exists → create/verify .prettierignore
- Check if .npmrc or package.json exists → create/verify .npmignore (if publishing)
- Check if terraform files (*.tf) exist → create/verify .terraformignore
- Check if .helmignore needed (helm charts present) → create/verify .helmignore
**If ignore file already exists**: Verify it contains essential patterns, append missing critical patterns only
**If ignore file missing**: Create with full pattern set for detected technology
**Common Patterns by Technology** (from plan.md tech stack):
- **Node.js/JavaScript**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `*.log`, `.env*`
- **Python**: `__pycache__/`, `*.pyc`, `.venv/`, `venv/`, `dist/`, `*.egg-info/`
- **Java**: `target/`, `*.class`, `*.jar`, `.gradle/`, `build/`
- **C#/.NET**: `bin/`, `obj/`, `*.user`, `*.suo`, `packages/`
- **Go**: `*.exe`, `*.test`, `vendor/`, `*.out`
- **Universal**: `.DS_Store`, `Thumbs.db`, `*.tmp`, `*.swp`, `.vscode/`, `.idea/`
**Tool-Specific Patterns**:
- **Docker**: `node_modules/`, `.git/`, `Dockerfile*`, `.dockerignore`, `*.log*`, `.env*`, `coverage/`
- **ESLint**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, `*.min.js`
- **Prettier**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`
- **Terraform**: `.terraform/`, `*.tfstate*`, `*.tfvars`, `.terraform.lock.hcl`
5. Parse tasks.md structure and extract:
- **Task phases**: Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, Polish
- **Task dependencies**: Sequential vs parallel execution rules
- **Task details**: ID, description, file paths, parallel markers [P]
- **Execution flow**: Order and dependency requirements
6. Execute implementation following the task plan:
- **Phase-by-phase execution**: Complete each phase before moving to the next
- **Respect dependencies**: Run sequential tasks in order, parallel tasks [P] can run together
- **Follow TDD approach**: Execute test tasks before their corresponding implementation tasks
- **File-based coordination**: Tasks affecting the same files must run sequentially
- **Validation checkpoints**: Verify each phase completion before proceeding
7. Implementation execution rules:
- **Setup first**: Initialize project structure, dependencies, configuration
- **Tests before code**: If you need to write tests for contracts, entities, and integration scenarios
- **Core development**: Implement models, services, CLI commands, endpoints
- **Integration work**: Database connections, middleware, logging, external services
- **Polish and validation**: Unit tests, performance optimization, documentation
8. Progress tracking and error handling:
- Report progress after each completed task
- Halt execution if any non-parallel task fails
- For parallel tasks [P], continue with successful tasks, report failed ones
- Provide clear error messages with context for debugging
- Suggest next steps if implementation cannot proceed
- **IMPORTANT** For completed tasks, make sure to mark the task off as [X] in the tasks file.
9. Completion validation:
- Verify all required tasks are completed
- Check that implemented features match the original specification
- Validate that tests pass and coverage meets requirements
- Confirm the implementation follows the technical plan
- Report final status with summary of completed work
Note: This command assumes a complete task breakdown exists in tasks.md. If tasks are incomplete or missing, suggest running `/tasks` first to regenerate the task list.
