## What it does

The skill structures development around test-driven development. It begins with an analysis phase to check the plan and spot affected modules. Before any code is written, it executes pre-run gates and probes. If an assumption fails a gate probe, the agent halts immediately and reports the failure.

Once gates pass, development follows the RED, GREEN, and REFACTOR stages. It requires failing tests first, followed by minimal code to pass them and cleanup. Built-in command sequences for Rust include `cargo check`, `cargo test -- --list`, `make check`, `cargo clippy -- -D warnings`, and `cargo fmt --check`.

For context, it requires `.claude/ai-context/architecture.md` and `.claude/ai-context/conventions.md`. After implementation finishes, it automatically invokes `/verify`, then `/review`, and finally `/wrap` once reviews pass.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mag123c/toktrack --skill implement -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/implement/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/implement/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mag123c/toktrack --skill implement -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/implement/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mag123c/toktrack --skill implement -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mag123c/toktrack implement
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/implement/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mag123c/toktrack --skill implement -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mag123c/toktrack --path .claude/skills/implement
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/implement/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mag123c/toktrack --skill implement -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mag123c/toktrack/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/implement/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Enforce test-first development through RED, GREEN, and REFACTOR cycles
- Halt execution when pre-run gate probes fail
- Verify Rust code using cargo clippy, fmt, and cargo test
- Chain completed tasks into verify, review, and wrap steps

## Example prompts
- Implement the tokenization module plan using TDD
- Execute the feature phase with pre-run gates and tests
- Complete the planned task and hand off to verify and review

# Implement

## Flow
```
Analysis → Gate pre-run → TDD(RED→GREEN→REFACTOR) → /verify → /review → /wrap
```

## Execution

1. **Analysis**: Review plan, identify affected modules

2. **Gate pre-run (MUST — before coding)**
   Run the PLAN's `[unverified-gate: probe=…]` / Phase 0 probes before RED. Fail → halt + report (don't build on a falsified assumption). Map Acceptance/DoD → RED tests; mark unverifiable as `[unverified-gate]` to carry to verify/wrap. Detail → `references/gates.md` (tag vocab: `../clarify/references/provenance.md`).

   Rust-specific probes:
   - `cargo check` — whether it compiles
   - `cargo test -- --list` — verify test targets exist
   - `make check` — unified fmt + clippy + test gate

3. **TDD Cycle**:
   - RED: Write failing test first
   - GREEN: Minimal code to pass
   - REFACTOR: Clean up (keep tests passing)
4. **Auto-call `/verify`**: On implementation complete
5. **Auto-call `/review`**: On verify pass
6. **Auto-call `/wrap`**: On review PASS

## Commands
```bash
cargo test
cargo clippy -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --check
```

## Rules
- No implementation without test
- On verify fail → fix and retry
- On review FAIL → fix and retry
- Complete full chain without stopping
