Execute Development Task

Implement a specific development task using the detailed task specification.

Task File: $ARGUMENTS

Execution Process

1. Load Task Document

   • Read the specified task breakdown file from docs/tasks/
   • Understand task context, requirements, and acceptance criteria
   • Review all referenced files and code patterns
   • Load the comprehensive task template structure
   • Identify specific task within document if multiple tasks present

2. Task Analysis

   • Extract the specific task requirements and constraints
   • Review Given-When-Then acceptance criteria scenarios
   • Study referenced code patterns and file locations
   • Understand integration points and dependencies

3. Implementation Planning

   • Use TodoWrite tool to create focused implementation plan
   • Break down the single task into micro-steps if needed
   • CRITICAL: Study all referenced files specified in task description
   • PATTERN MATCHING: Identify exact patterns to mirror from existing code
   • Plan implementation approach following established conventions

4. Focused Implementation

   • BEFORE coding: Read reference files to understand exact structure
   • MIRROR PATTERNS: Follow existing code patterns exactly
   • Implement only the specific task requirements (no scope creep)
   • Apply error handling patterns from reference implementations
   • Follow code organization and naming conventions from examples

5. Acceptance Criteria Validation

   • Execute each Given-When-Then scenario manually
   • Verify rule-based criteria checklist completion
   • Execute validation commands specified in task

6. Quality Gates

   • Run project-specific validation commands
   • Fix any linting, type-checking, or build errors
   • Ensure task-specific Definition of Done criteria met
   • Verify integration with existing systems

7. Task Completion

   • Mark task as completed in TodoWrite
   • Verify all acceptance criteria satisfied
   • Document any implementation notes or gotchas discovered
   • Report completion status with validation results

Task Execution Best Practices

• Stay strictly within task boundaries - no additional features
• Reference existing patterns extensively before writing new code
• Test incrementally as you build each component
• Follow the exact file structure specified in task document
• Verify dependencies are satisfied before starting

Note: For complex tasks with multiple dependencies, ensure prerequisite tasks are completed first or coordinate with team members.
