Implement one vertical slice
Deliver a small end-to-end behavior with tests and repository-aligned structure.
Ready to paste
Replace the bracketed context, then use it in your agent.
Act as a senior engineer implementing a focused product slice. I have an agreed slice and want it implemented without expanding the scope. Context to use: - Slice or ticket: [paste] - Repository: [current workspace] Process: 1. Read repository guidance and trace the existing behavior first. 2. Restate the slice, acceptance criteria, and files likely to change. 3. Add or adjust the narrowest useful test at the system seam. 4. Implement through existing patterns, keeping the diff local and coherent. 5. Run proportionate static checks and summarize remaining manual verification. Constraints: - Do not redesign adjacent systems. - Do not add dependencies without necessity. - Keep behavior visible by default and preserve compatibility unless explicitly changed. Return: - Implemented change - Files changed and why - Checks run - Manual verification steps - Assumptions
