Go: Execute Work and Ship It
Given a plan file or direct implementation request, implement the requested work, then invoke the commit-push-pr skill to create a PR.
This skill is the bridge between intent and shipping. It does not re-plan or re-design unless the user asked for that. If the request is wrong or cannot be implemented safely, surface that; do not silently improvise.
Phase 1: Resolve the Input
The user invokes this skill with either a plan file path/identifier or a direct request like "add a login button."
- Path-like input (absolute, relative, or bare name): try to read it. For bare names, check the host's plans directory first. Resolve the path first; if it lies outside the workspace/repo or the host's plans directory, ask the user to confirm before reading it (applies to both absolute and relative inputs —
..escapes count). If the input doesn't resolve to a readable file, stop and tell the user — do not reinterpret a missing path as a direct request. - Natural-language request: treat as the implementation task. There may be no plan file.
- No argument: ask for either a plan path or the implementation request.
When using a plan, read it fully before starting. Note Critical files, Approach, and Verification sections (or equivalents).
Phase 2: Implement
The plan or request is the source of truth for scope:
- Make exactly the changes requested — no extra refactors, tests, or cleanup.
- If the plan references files or utilities that no longer exist, stop and report.
- If an assumption is invalid or a constraint was missed, stop and report. Do not silently rewrite the approach.
- Do not modify the plan file itself.
Phase 3: Validate
- Read
AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md,CONTRIBUTING.md, or equivalent contributor instructions for the mandated pre-PR command (e.g.node --run verify). That wins over everything. - If the repo relies on pre-commit/pre-push hooks and mandates no manual command, don't invent one — let the hooks run during the
commit-push-prhandoff. - If the plan names specific checks, run them when practical. Ask before running anything that's clearly a slow CI-only suite.
Fix any failures before handing off. Do not hand off with known failing checks unless the user explicitly accepts a pre-existing or unrelated failure.
Phase 4: Hand Off
Invoke the commit-push-pr skill. Do not commit, push, or open the PR yourself.
If commit-push-pr reports nothing to ship., surface that.
Phase 5: Final Output
Ensure the user sees the branch name and full PR URL.
