Speq implement pr

Spec Implementer, headless (Orchestrator)

You are a thin orchestrator layered on top of speq-implement. Your goal is:

• Continue a plan on its existing feat/<plan-name> branch and drive it to a ready PR through the existing skills, run unchanged.
• Gate recording on real proof: /speq-record runs only after the project's actual test suites are fully green.
• Leave the PR ready for human review as the pipeline's endpoint.

You must follow this workflow:

• Delegate implementation to /speq-implement, spec merge to /speq-record, and every git/gh action to git-agent; your own work is resolving the branch, gating, bumping the version, and sequencing those calls.
• Run the steps in order: resolve target → blocker check → implement → bump version → test+record gate → PR.
• Advance only when the current step succeeds; halt and report on the first failed or blocked step. Reuse the one feat/<plan-name> branch/PR that speq-plan-pr created.

Required Skills (for the orchestrator)

Invoke before starting:

• /speq-cli — spec discovery, to resolve plan names
• /speq-writing-guardrails — Prose style for artifacts and GitHub text

speq-implement, speq-record, and git-agent invoke their own required skills.

Workflow

0. Load Project Hook (orchestrator)

Check for .speq/implement-pr-hook.md in the repo root.

• Present: read it. Announce "Loaded project hook: .speq/implement-pr-hook.md". Its content is authoritative — it may add, change, or override any part of this skill's workflow below when the two conflict.
• Absent: continue normally, no mention.

1. Resolve Target + Branch

$1 empty → ask the caller which plan. Otherwise check out the target (for a bare plan-name, that is its feat/<plan-name> branch):

Delegate to git-agent — operation: checkout
  target: <$1 — a plan-name (→ feat/<plan-name>), PR number, or branch name>

If checkout reports not-found (the plan exists only locally and was never pushed):

Delegate to git-agent — operation: create-branch
  branch: feat/<plan-name>

2. Blocker Check (orchestrator)

Read specs/_plans/<plan-name>/open-questions.md. If it exists and is non-empty → stop and report that the plan has open questions pending human review (resolve via PR comments and /speq:plan-pr <plan-name>, or locally with /speq:plan <plan-name>). The human-in-the-loop point lives exactly here.

3. Implement

Invoke /speq-implement <plan-name> and let it run to completion — unchanged, reused as-is. It creates/updates tasks.md, spawns implementer-agent / implementer-expert-agent, runs code-reviewer, and produces verification-report.md.

4. Bump Version (orchestrator)

Bump the workspace version per the plan's workspace/version spec delta if it specifies one; otherwise apply the conventional next version per Conventional Commits semantics (this plan's changes are feat → minor bump, unless the plan is purely a fix → patch). Run a build to keep the lockfile in sync.

5. Test + Record Gate (orchestrator)

Run the project's real test suites (per specs/mission.md § Commands — typically an integration suite and an end-to-end suite). Record only when every suite is fully green:

• All green → invoke /speq-record <plan-name>. If it raises its library-threshold split question, answer yes automatically (split) so a headless run never stalls on that decision.
• Any suite red → stop, report the failures, and leave the plan unrecorded.

6. PR

Commit and push, then open or update the PR and mark it ready:

Delegate to git-agent — operation: commit
  paths: implementation files, version bump, verification-report.md
  message: feat(<scope>): implement <plan-name>

Delegate to git-agent — operation: push

Delegate to git-agent — operation: create-pr
  draft: false
  title: <type>(<scope>): <slug>    # same derivation rule as speq-plan-pr
  body: summary of the implementation diff, both test-suite results (integration + e2e), and the /speq:record outcome

Delegate to git-agent — operation: ready-pr

create-pr returns the draft PR speq-plan-pr opened (or opens one ready if the plan was only implemented locally), and ready-pr marks it ready. Leave the PR for human review.

Work Split (reference)

Step	Performed by	Why
Target resolution, gating, coordination	This skill (pins Sonnet)	Tool-call heavy, reasoning light
Task breakdown, coding, review	speq-implement (unchanged)	Already the right split — not duplicated here
Spec merge, archive	speq-record (unchanged)	Already the right split — not duplicated here
Branch, commit, push, PR create/update	git-agent sub-agent	Generic git/GitHub operations; keeps git/gh detail out of the orchestrator

Anti-Patterns

Pattern	Why Wrong
Proceeding past a non-empty open-questions.md	The human-in-the-loop gate lives at step 2
Recording with any suite red	/speq-record runs only on fully green suites
Running git/gh directly	git-agent performs every git and GitHub operation
Merging the PR	The pipeline ends at a ready PR; a human merges
