Implementation Coordination Skill

Coordinate implementation phase by breaking down work, delegating to engineers, and maintaining quality standards.

When to Use

• Starting implementation phase (after Plan completes)
• Running in parallel with Test and Package phases
• Need to delegate implementation tasks
• Managing multiple engineering tasks simultaneously

Quick Reference

# Review GitHub issue for implementation tasks
gh issue view <number> --json body --jq '.body'

# Verify code quality
pixi run mojo test -I . tests/
pixi run mojo build -I . <module>
just pre-commit-all

# Check for warnings (zero-warnings policy)
# Any output = fix before committing

Workflow

1. Review plan specifications - Understand deliverables and success criteria
2. Break into tasks - Create granular implementation work items
3. Delegate by complexity:
   • Senior Engineer: Complex algorithms, SIMD, memory management
   • Engineer: Standard implementations, business logic
   • Junior Engineer: Boilerplate, simple helpers, type definitions
4. Monitor progress - Check completion status, unblock issues
5. Code review - Verify quality, standards, tests, documentation
6. Final checks - Format, lint, test coverage, no warnings

Delegation Matrix

Mojo Implementation Standards

Function definitions:

# High-performance critical
fn simd_add[dtype: DType](a: Tensor[dtype], b: Tensor[dtype]) -> Tensor[dtype]:
    """SIMD-optimized addition."""
    pass

# Flexible/Python interop
def load_model(path: String) -> PythonObject:
    pass

Memory management:

# Transfer ownership
fn process(owned data: Tensor) -> Tensor:
    return data^

# Read-only access
fn analyze(borrowed data: Tensor):
    pass

# Mutable access (Mojo v0.25.7+)
fn modify(mut data: Tensor):
    pass

Quality Checklist

Before code review approval:

• All tests passing
• 80% test coverage minimum
• No compiler warnings (zero-warnings policy)
• pixi run mojo format applied
• Docstrings complete
• No TODOs/FIXMEs (or documented)
• Performance meets requirements
• Follows Mojo syntax standards (Mojo v0.25.7+)

Phase Dependencies

• Input from: Plan phase (specifications and deliverables)
• Parallel with: Test phase (TDD) and Package phase
• Precedes: Cleanup phase (after parallel phases complete)

Output Location

• Implementation: /shared/<module>/, /examples/, /tooling/
• Documentation: GitHub issue comments
• Issue updates: Track progress, blockers, learnings via gh issue comment

Error Handling

Key Principle: Implement to make tests pass, not the other way around.
