- # Spec Execution

- ## Overview

- Executes a feature specification through 6 iterative phases with quality-gated convergence. Each phase builds on the previous, with improvement cycles triggered when quality falls below threshold.

- ## Six Phases

- ### Phase 1: Implementation

+ graph:

+ domains: [domain:software-engineering]

+ skillAreas: [skill-area:agentic-loops, skill-area:orchestration-loop]

+ workflows: [workflow:feature-development]

+ topics: [topic:developer-experience]

+ roles: [role:tech-lead, role:backend-engineer]

- Read specification for requirements and architecture

- Implement each requirement following project conventions

- Add type definitions and JSDoc documentation

- Implement error handling for all failure modes

### Phase 2: Test Writing

- Write unit tests for each module/function

- Write integration tests for API boundaries

- Cover all acceptance criteria from the specification

- Test edge cases and error paths

### Phase 3: Code Review

- Verify all requirements are implemented

- Check acceptance criteria are tested

- Review architecture adherence

- Assess code quality

### Phase 4: Iterative Improvement

- Address review findings

- Fix failing tests

- Resolve architecture deviations

- Re-verify quality (convergence loop, max 3 cycles)

### Phase 5: Atomic Commit

- Group changes into logical atomic commits

- Descriptive messages following project conventions

- Separate production, test, and config changes

- Include specification reference

### Phase 6: Progress Tracking

- Requirement completion percentage

- Test coverage summary

- Quality score report

- Remaining work identification

## Quality Gate

Quality threshold defaults to 80. If not met after max improvement cycles, a human breakpoint is triggered for review.

## When to Use

- `/spec:execute [file]` slash command

- After spec creation when ready to implement

## Processes Used By

- `claudekit-spec-workflow` (execute mode)
