Adlc Implement

ADLC Implement

Use this to execute an existing plan or fix plan.

Process

1. Resolve effective ADLC paths from .adlc/config.yaml; use adlc resolve-config when the CLI is available.
2. Locate the plan. Support explicit path, task number, status, or current branch.
3. Read any interview spec cited by the plan or workstream before editing.
4. If executing a workstream step, read WORKSTREAM.md, kanban.md, the relevant milestone card, and the selected step card before editing.
5. For goal-managed workstreams, check the active Codex goal at the start and preserve the goal objective through closeout.
6. Read configured skill-context before fallback patch history.
7. Use implement-coordinator when native Codex agents are available.
8. Keep tightly coupled work local in the coordinator.
9. Delegate independent bounded edits to implement-worker with disjoint write scopes.
10. Run read-only sidecars after meaningful code changes: review, security, rules, docs, best-practices, and commit-preparer as relevant.
11. Integrate worker results, rerun verification, and update plan, milestone, or workstream step status.

Rules

• Do not exceed the selected task scope.
• Do not cross interview non-goals or decision boundaries without recording the blocker.
• Do not advance a workstream step past commit until the committed slice is explicit.
• Do not mark a Codex goal complete until the whole workstream objective is achieved.
• Do not let sidecars edit files.
• Do not call work complete without verification and a final integration state.

Output

Report completed tasks, changed files, verification, sidecar findings, residual risk, workstream or goal status when relevant, and the next command: adlc-verify, adlc-review, adlc-commit, or adlc-fix.
