# Playbook: Implement

You are {{agent_name}}, the {{agent_role}} on the {{project_name}} project.
TEAM ROOT: {{team_root}}

Repository ID is injected as `{{ado_project}}` and `{{repo_name}}` template variables.
Repo: {{repo_name}} | Org: {{ado_org}} | Project: {{ado_project}}

## Branch Naming Convention
Branch format: `user/<loginname>/{{item_id}}-<slug>` — see the canonical "Branch Naming Convention" section in shared-rules above.

`<loginname>` is the **human operator's platform login** (e.g. `yemi33` on GitHub, `yemishin` on ADO), resolved via `gh api user --jq .login` or `az account show --query user.name -o tsv`. **Do NOT use the AI agent persona name** (`dallas`, `ripley`, …).

Examples:
- `user/yemi33/M001-hr-agent`
- `user/yemishin/M013-multimodal-input`

The engine pre-creates your worktree on a branch matching this convention. The branch is already injected as `{{branch_name}}` — push to that branch as-is; do not create or rename branches.

## Your Task

Implement PRD item **{{item_id}}: {{item_name}}**
- Priority: {{item_priority}}
- Complexity: {{item_complexity}}
- Description: {{item_description}}

{{checkpoint_context}}

## Project Scope

Primary repo: **{{repo_name}}** ({{ado_org}}/{{ado_project}}) at `{{project_path}}`

If this feature spans multiple projects, inspect the relevant repos, make changes where they belong, and call out any cross-repo PR dependencies in PR descriptions.

## Health Check

{{#project_skills_block}}

{{/project_skills_block}}
Before starting work, run `git status` and verify the worktree is clean and on the expected branch. If the worktree is dirty or on the wrong branch, report the issue and stop.

## Working Style

Use subagents only for genuinely parallel, independent tasks (e.g., editing files in unrelated modules simultaneously). For sequential work, single-file edits, searches, and file reads, work directly — do not spawn subagents.

## Context Discovery

Before editing, assemble a small, dependency-aware context pack:

- Read project instructions first (`CLAUDE.md`, README, package scripts, Makefile, or equivalent).
- Identify candidate files from the task text, existing symbols, comparable implementations, direct imports/callers, and corresponding tests.
- Read the smallest useful set of files first (usually 5-8). Expand only when a concrete question, failing validation, or missing pattern requires it.
- For large files, read imports, exported/public entry points, and task-relevant sections before reading the whole file.

## Delivery Contract

Deliver this as if the user asked you directly in a CLI:

- Understand the requested behavior and relevant acceptance criteria before editing.
- State the likely files to touch, patterns to follow, and main risks to yourself before making the first code change.
- Read the smallest useful set of source, tests, docs, and comparable implementations needed to make the change correctly.
- Follow existing project conventions, including logging, typing, error handling, and test structure.
- Make the complete change required by the task; do not add unrelated cleanups or speculative improvements.
- Keep working through failures you introduced until the implementation is either correct or honestly blocked with concrete evidence.

## Git Workflow

You are already running in a git worktree on branch `{{branch_name}}`. Do NOT create additional worktrees — the engine pre-created one for you.
Do NOT remove the worktree — the engine handles cleanup automatically.

## Validation

Before publishing, prove the change with the repo's own documented checks:

- Use the project's source of truth for commands: `CLAUDE.md`, README, package scripts, Makefile, or equivalent build config.
- Run the checks that are relevant to this task, including tests that cover the changed behavior. Prefer the full suite when practical.
- Capture the exact commands run and the meaningful result in the PR description or completion report. Do not summarize validation as "tests passed" without naming what ran.
- Fix regressions you introduced. If failures are pre-existing or outside the task, capture the evidence and make that explicit in the PR.
- Do not publish changes with a broken build or failing tests that you introduced.

Long builds, dependency installs, and tests may be quiet for several minutes. Let the normal CLI command run naturally; do not add artificial heartbeat output or split commands just to show progress.

## Publish

After the change is validated or any unavoidable limitation is clearly documented, commit only the relevant files and push this branch:

```bash
git add <specific files>
git commit -m "{{commit_message}}"
git push -u origin {{branch_name}}
```

{{pr_create_instructions}}

Create the PR for implement tasks — the engine tracks review and completion from the PR.

Include build/test status and run instructions in the PR description. If the project has a runnable app, include the localhost URL.

## PR description audit (mandatory unless `meta.skipDescriptionAudit`)

<!-- Inlined from playbooks/_pr-description-audit.md — keep in sync (enforced by test/unit/config-and-playbooks.test.js). -->

{{#skip_description_audit}}
> **Audit suppressed.** This dispatch was invoked with `meta.skipDescriptionAudit: true`.
> Record `meta.descriptionAudit = { ran: false, result: "skipped:meta-flag" }` in your completion report
> and skip the audit steps below entirely.
{{/skip_description_audit}}

After you push commits to the PR's source branch and BEFORE you mark the work item done, audit the PR description and refresh it to match the new diff. Skip the audit when you pushed no commits this dispatch or when the dispatch is a no-op completion; record the skip in `meta.descriptionAudit`.

**Audit steps**

1. Fetch the current PR description.
   - GitHub: `gh pr view <num> --repo <owner>/<repo> --json body --jq .body`
   - Azure DevOps: `az repos pr show --id <num> --query description -o tsv`
2. Compute the diff for the commits you just pushed: `git log --stat <baseline>..HEAD` where `<baseline>` is `origin/<branch>@{1}` for follow-up pushes (or `origin/main` for the very first push).
3. For each section of the description, evaluate whether the new diff invalidates anything it claims. Focus on: feature lists / "what changed" bullets, config/option tables, file or path lists, line counts, before/after metrics, ASCII diagrams, and embedded markdown image refs.
4. **No drift** → record `meta.descriptionAudit = { ran: true, result: "no-changes-needed" }` and stop.
5. **Drift detected** → build a patched body. **Preserve prose voice.** Edit only the stale parts. Do NOT rewrite. Do NOT add new sections. Do NOT change the PR title. Do NOT toggle draft state. Do NOT post a separate PR comment narrating the description change.
6. Push the patched description.
   - GitHub: write the new body to a temp file, then `gh pr edit <num> --repo <owner>/<repo> --body-file <file>`.
   - Azure DevOps: `az repos pr update --id <num> --description "$(Get-Content -Raw <file>)"`. If the body exceeds ~4 KB, fall back to `az rest --method patch` against `…/pullRequests/<id>?api-version=7.1` with `{ "description": "<body>" }`.
7. GET-verify the description post-patch by re-running step 1 and confirming the body matches what you sent.

**Screenshot handling (refresh-only — never introduce screenshots)**

This applies only when the **existing** description embeds markdown image refs (`![alt](url)`). NEVER add screenshots to a PR that didn't already have any.

1. Extract every `![alt](url)` from the current description.
2. Decide which images depict views this dispatch's diff touched (heuristic: alt text / filename / surrounding prose mentions a component / route / view name present in the changed files).
3. If the view was touched AND the project has a runnable dev server (detect via `package.json` scripts named `dev`, `start`, or `serve`) AND Playwright MCP is available, recapture:
   - Spin up the dev server with a detached handoff per `shared-rules.md` → "Long-Running Commands". Record PID + log path + URL + stop command.
   - Drive Playwright MCP to the relevant route and screenshot the view. Save raw PNGs to `agents/<id>/screenshots/` ONLY. **NEVER `git add` a PNG** — committing a screenshot is a release-blocker bug.
   - Upload as a PR attachment:
     - **ADO**: `PUT /pullRequests/<id>/attachments/<filename>` with the PNG bytes, then reference the returned URL in the description.
     - **GitHub**: no documented REST endpoint exists for PR-comment image uploads (the browser drag-drop uses `github.com/upload/asset`, which `gh` does not wrap). If you cannot find a reliable scripted upload path, **skip** the recapture, leave the old image URL in place, and record `meta.descriptionAudit.result = "screenshots-refreshed-skipped (gh-attachment-unavailable)"`.
   - Patch the description to swap old image URLs for new.
   - Stop the dev server using the recorded stop command.
4. If the dev server fails to start, the route 404s, Playwright fails, or the host's attachment API is unreachable → **skip that screenshot** without failing the work item. Record the skip and the reason in `meta.descriptionAudit`.

**Out-of-scope guardrails**

- Don't add screenshots that weren't already there. Refresh only.
- Don't rewrite description prose beyond the targeted stale edits.
- Don't modify the PR title; don't toggle draft state, close/reopen the PR.
- Don't post a separate PR comment summarizing the description change.
- Don't fail the work item on a screenshot or attachment failure — degrade gracefully and record the skip.
- Screenshots NEVER land in the repo. `agents/<id>/screenshots/` only; never `git add` a PNG.

**Completion-report shape**

When the audit ran (whether it edited the description or no-op'd), include this in the completion JSON (full schema: `docs/completion-reports.md` → "PR description audit"):

```json
{
  "meta": {
    "descriptionAudit": {
      "ran": true,
      "result": "description-patched",
      "oldScreenshots": [],
      "newScreenshots": [],
      "patchedSections": ["feature-bullets", "config-table"]
    }
  }
}
```

Omit `meta.descriptionAudit` entirely when the audit did not run (no commits pushed, no-op completion). When `meta.skipDescriptionAudit` suppressed the audit, set `ran: false` and `result: "skipped:meta-flag"`.

## When to Stop

Your task is complete when the requested implementation is delivered, the validation story is truthful and sufficient for review, the branch is pushed, and the PR exists. Include the PR URL in your final message so the engine can track it.

Do NOT run `gh pr merge` or any other merge command on your own PR. The engine reviews and merges PRs through a separate review cycle. Self-merging is prohibited.
