Build

Execute the implementation plan for "$ARGUMENTS" task-by-task, following test-driven development discipline.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/development/$ARGUMENTS/01-plan.md. If this file does not exist, tell the user:

No plan exists for "$ARGUMENTS". Run /development:plan $ARGUMENTS first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

If --skip-checks is present in $ARGUMENTS, skip this check and log to .metapowers/development/$ARGUMENTS/skip-log.md.

Process

For each task in the plan:

1. Write the failing test first:

   • Write the test that verifies the task's expected behavior
   • Run the test suite — confirm the new test fails
   • If it passes without implementation, the test isn't testing anything — rewrite it

2. Implement the minimal code to pass:

   • Write only what's needed to make the failing test pass
   • Don't add features, refactor, or "improve" beyond the task scope
   • Follow existing codebase patterns and conventions

3. Verify:

   • Run the full test suite — all tests must pass
   • If other tests broke, fix them before moving on

4. Commit:

   • Stage the relevant files
   • Write a clear commit message following the project's convention

5. Log progress — after each task, append to the execution log:

   • Task name and status (completed/skipped/blocked)
   • Commit hash
   • Any issues encountered

6. Write the artifact to .metapowers/development/$ARGUMENTS/02-build.md

Output

The execution log written to .metapowers/development/$ARGUMENTS/02-build.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:

• Tasks completed vs. total
• All commits made
• Any issues or deviations from the plan
