Implementation Workflow
Overview
Create structured implementation workflows from PRDs or feature requirements. Emphasize clear task breakdowns, dependencies, and validation checkpoints.
When to Use
- Translating a PRD or feature spec into tasks
- Planning multi-domain implementation work
- Defining validation gates and dependencies
Avoid when:
- The task is a small, obvious change
- You already have a complete plan
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Workflow generation | skills/implementation-workflow/references/workflow.md |
Workflow
- Read the PRD/spec and identify core requirements.
- Load the workflow reference for structure and patterns.
- Decompose into workstreams with dependencies.
- Add validation steps and risk mitigation.
- Deliver the workflow and next actions.
Output
- Structured workflow with tasks and dependencies
- Validation checklist and risks
Common Mistakes
- Skipping dependency mapping
- Mixing execution steps with brainstorming
- Omitting validation gates
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
doc-quality-review
Assess documentation quality across readability, consistency, audience fit, and prose clarity. Produces a scored review with actionable findings. This skill should be used before releases, during doc reviews, or when documentation feels unclear or inconsistent.
event-driven-architecture
Event-driven architecture patterns with event sourcing, CQRS, and message-driven communication. Use when designing distributed systems, microservices communication, or systems requiring eventual consistency and scalability.
prompt-engineering
Optimize prompts for LLMs and AI systems with structured techniques, evaluation patterns, and synthetic test data generation. Use when building AI features, improving agent performance, or crafting system prompts.
compliance-audit
Regulatory compliance auditing across GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO frameworks with automated evidence collection and gap analysis. Use when conducting compliance assessments, preparing for certifications, or implementing regulatory controls.
react-performance-optimization
React performance optimization patterns using memoization, code splitting, and efficient rendering strategies. Use when optimizing slow React applications, reducing bundle size, or improving user experience with large datasets.
