Implementation Task Executor

Executes a single implementation (or refactor) task from Todo to To Review using the task description and linked guides.

Purpose & Scope

  • Handle one selected task only; never touch other tasks.
  • Follow task Technical Approach/plan/AC; apply KISS/YAGNI and guide patterns.
  • Update Linear/kanban for this task: Todo -> In Progress -> To Review.
  • Run typecheck/lint; update docs/tests/config per task instructions.
  • Not for test tasks (label "tests" goes to ln-404-test-executor).

Task Storage Mode

AspectLinear ModeFile Mode
Load taskget_issue(task_id)Read("docs/tasks/epics/.../tasks/T{NNN}-*.md")
Update statusupdate_issue(id, state)Edit the **Status:** line in file
KanbanUpdated by Linear syncMust update kanban_board.md manually

File Mode status format:

## Status
**Status:** In Progress | **Priority:** High | **Estimate:** 4h

Workflow (concise)

  1. Load context: Fetch full task description (Linear: get_issue; File: Read task file); read linked guides/manuals/ADRs; auto-discover team/config if needed.
  2. Receive task: Get task ID from orchestrator (ln-400); load full task description.
  3. Start work: Update this task to In Progress (Linear: update_issue; File: Edit status line); move it in kanban (keep Epic/Story indent).
  4. Implement: Follow checkboxes/plan; keep it simple; avoid hardcoded values; reuse existing components; add Task ID comment (// See PROJ-123) to new code blocks; update docs noted in Affected Components; update existing tests if impacted (no new tests here).
  5. Quality: Run typecheck and lint (or project equivalents); ensure instructions in Existing Code Impact are addressed.
  6. Finish: Mark task To Review (Linear: update_issue; File: Edit status line); update kanban to To Review; add summary comment (what changed, tests run, docs touched).

Critical Rules

  • Single-task updates only; no bulk status changes.
  • Keep language of the task (EN/RU) in edits/comments.
  • No code snippets in the description; code lives in repo, not in Linear.
  • No new test creation; only update existing tests if required.
  • Preserve Foundation-First ordering from orchestrator; do not reorder tasks.
  • Add Task ID comments to new code blocks for traceability (// See PROJ-123 or # See PROJ-123).

Definition of Done

  • Task selected and set to In Progress; kanban updated accordingly.
  • Guides/manuals/ADRs read; approach aligned with task Technical Approach.
  • Implementation completed per plan/AC; docs and impacted tests updated.
  • Typecheck and lint passed (or project quality commands) with evidence in comment.
  • Task set to To Review; kanban moved to To Review; summary comment added.

Reference Files

  • Guides/manuals/ADRs: docs/guides/, docs/manuals/, docs/adrs/
  • Kanban format: docs/tasks/kanban_board.md
