Implement an approved technical plan from thoughts/shared/plans/. The agent follows the plan phase-by-phase, verifying success criteria at each step.

Usage

/implement_plan thoughts/shared/plans/2026-03-08-my-feature.md

Process

1. Read the plan — Reads the full plan and checks for existing progress (checkboxes)
2. Read referenced files — Reads the original ticket and all files mentioned in the plan
3. Create a todo list — Tracks progress through each phase
4. Implement each phase — Makes the specified changes
5. Verify — Checks success criteria after each phase
6. Update the plan — Marks checkboxes as phases are completed

Key Behavior

• Follows the plan’s intent — Adapts to what it finds while staying true to the plan’s goals
• Phase-by-phase — Completes each phase fully before moving to the next
• Communicates deviations — When reality doesn’t match the plan, explains why and what it did instead
• Updates checkboxes — Marks - [x] in the plan file as sections are completed
