specsafe-code

Start implementation phase (TEST → CODE stage) following TDD red-green-refactor.

When to use:

• Tests are generated and ready for implementation
• Starting TDD development cycle
• Moving from TEST to CODE stage

Input: The spec ID (e.g., SPEC-20240204-001)

Steps

1. Validate tests exist

   Verify test files were generated for this spec. Check that tests exist (even if marked .skip).

2. Move to CODE stage

   bashCopy

   specsafe code "<spec-id>"
   

   This updates the spec stage to CODE.

3. Guide TDD implementation

   Explain the TDD cycle:

   • Run tests (should fail - RED)
   • Write minimum code to pass one test (GREEN)
   • Refactor if needed
   • Repeat until all tests pass

4. Provide implementation support

   Offer to:

   • Help write the implementation
   • Review code
   • Suggest refactoring
   • Debug failing tests

Output

After moving to CODE stage:

• Confirmation of stage change
• TDD cycle reminder
• Current test status
• Prompt: "Let's implement the code. What would you like help with?"

Guardrails

• Spec must be in TEST stage
• Tests must exist
• Remind user to follow TDD (test first, then code)
