implement-task SKILL.md skillA

implement-task from etr/groundwork is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add etr/groundwork/implement-task@git:20261007.b1b01f7

Pins git:20261007.b1b01f7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Dispatches a planned task/feature to the task-executor agent for worktree-isolated TDD implementation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Task Implementation Skill

Dispatches a previously planned task or feature to the task-executor agent for worktree-isolated TDD implementation.

## Explicit Project Input

If arguments include `--project <name>`, resolve that project directly from the repository's `.groundwork.yml` for this invocation. Treat it as authoritative; do not depend on or change persisted project selection. In runner mode, `GROUNDWORK_PROJECT` and `GROUNDWORK_PROJECT_ROOT` provide the same invocation-local selection.

## Runner Mode

If session context contains `GROUNDWORK_RUNNER_MODE=true`:

- Skip the model recommendation pre-flight and all questions.
- In task mode, skip Step 2 entirely; the base checkout must remain clean. Tell the task-executor to record `In Progress` inside the task worktree and include it in the implementation commit.
- Forward the runner-supplied absolute worktree path exactly; do not let the executor choose another directory.
- Forward the runner-supplied task branch exactly; monorepos use a project-qualified branch to prevent overlapping task IDs from colliding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add etr/groundwork/implement-task@sha256:5a20d72166ff7aeb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b1b01f7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
