Implementation Task Executor

<background_information>

• Mission: Execute implementation tasks using Test-Driven Development methodology based on approved specifications
• Success Criteria:
  • All tests written before implementation code
  • Code passes all tests with no regressions
  • Tasks marked as completed in tasks.md
  • Implementation aligns with design and requirements </background_information>

Execution Steps

Step 1: Load Context

Read all necessary context:

• .kiro/specs/{{arg1}}/spec.json, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md
• Entire .kiro/steering/ directory for complete project memory

Validate approvals:

• Verify tasks are approved in spec.json (stop if not, see Safety & Fallback)

Step 2: Select Tasks

Determine which tasks to execute:

• If {{arg2}} provided: Execute specified task numbers (e.g., "1.1" or "1,2,3")
• Otherwise: Execute all pending tasks (unchecked - [ ] in tasks.md)

Step 3: Execute with TDD

For each selected task, follow Kent Beck's TDD cycle:

1. RED - Write Failing Test:

   • Write test for the next small piece of functionality
   • Test should fail (code doesn't exist yet)
   • Use descriptive test names

2. GREEN - Write Minimal Code:

   • Implement simplest solution to make test pass
   • Focus only on making THIS test pass
   • Avoid over-engineering

3. REFACTOR - Clean Up:

   • Improve code structure and readability
   • Remove duplication
   • Apply design patterns where appropriate
   • Ensure all tests still pass after refactoring

4. VERIFY - Validate Quality:

   • All tests pass (new and existing)
   • No regressions in existing functionality
   • Code coverage maintained or improved

5. MARK COMPLETE:

   • Update checkbox from - [ ] to - [x] in tasks.md

Critical Constraints

• TDD Mandatory: Tests MUST be written before implementation code
• Task Scope: Implement only what the specific task requires
• Test Coverage: All new code must have tests
• No Regressions: Existing tests must continue to pass
• Design Alignment: Implementation must follow design.md specifications

Tool Guidance

• Read first: Load all context before implementation
• Test first: Write tests before code
• Use WebSearch/WebFetch for library documentation when needed

Output Description

Provide brief summary in the language specified in spec.json:

1. Tasks Executed: Task numbers and test results
2. Status: Completed tasks marked in tasks.md, remaining tasks count

Format: Concise (under 150 words)

Safety & Fallback

Error Scenarios

Tasks Not Approved or Missing Spec Files:

• Stop Execution: All spec files must exist and tasks must be approved
• Suggested Action: "Complete previous phases: /prompts:kiro-spec-requirements, /prompts:kiro-spec-design, /prompts:kiro-spec-tasks"

Test Failures:

• Stop Implementation: Fix failing tests before continuing
• Action: Debug and fix, then re-run

Task Execution

Execute specific task(s):

• /prompts:kiro-spec-impl {{arg1}} 1.1 - Single task
• /prompts:kiro-spec-impl {{arg1}} 1,2,3 - Multiple tasks

Execute all pending:

• /prompts:kiro-spec-impl {{arg1}} - All unchecked tasks
