What is the 'implement' skill used for in Agent Swarm?

It is the default workflow for general coding tasks that don't fit specialized patterns like debugging or code reviews, providing a structured work-and-verify cycle.

Can this skill be used for parallel tasks?

Yes, the implementation CLI supports custom IDs (e.g., --id agent-123) to manage multiple independent implementation workflows simultaneously.

What happens if a test fails during the verify phase?

The workflow kicks the task back to the 'work' phase, allowing the agent to fix the issues before attempting the verification process again.

How does the verification phase work?

The skill requires both tests and linting to pass before a task can be marked as 'done', ensuring high code quality and functional integrity.

Is it safe to give this skill tool access?

Yes, the skill is permission-aware and programmatically checks if specific tools or file paths are allowed before performing any operations.

Productivity & Workflow

Executes a standardized Work-Verify-Done cycle for general-purpose code implementation and autonomous task completion.

About

This skill provides a robust framework for Claude Code to handle general implementation tasks within an agent-based swarm architecture. It enforces a strict operational flow—moving from active development to verification (testing and linting) before final completion—ensuring that code changes are both functional and compliant with project standards. By integrating permission-aware checks and iteration limits, it allows for autonomous yet controlled execution of features and bug fixes that do not fall under specialized workflows like debugging or PR reviews.

Key Features

Automated verification phase requiring test and lint passes
Integrated CLI for tracking status and advancing workflow phases
Self-correcting feedback loop with support for up to three kickbacks
Standardized WORK → VERIFY → DONE lifecycle management
0 GitHub stars
Permission-aware execution respecting tool and file-path restrictions

Use Cases

Executing general coding tasks that require structured validation
Autonomous feature development by subagents in a swarm environment
Managing parallel implementation streams with unique workflow IDs
