Implement features and changes from implementation plans. Takes a plan file path as input and executes the implementation steps, then reports changes. Use when you have a detailed plan document and need to code it up, or want to implement specifications written in markdown format.

What this skill does

# Build

Implement code changes and features from a detailed implementation plan. This skill reads a plan file, follows its instructions step-by-step, and reports the completed work.

## Prerequisites

- A plan file in markdown format (typically from `/quick-plan` skill)
- The plan contains clear implementation steps
- You have access to the files that need to be modified

## Workflow

1. **Validate plan** - Confirm a plan file path has been provided
2. **Analyze plan** - Read the plan and understand all implementation requirements
3. **Implement** - Execute each step of the plan, modifying code as needed
4. **Report** - Summarize changes and show diff statistics

## Instructions

1. If no plan file path is provided, ask the user to provide it and stop
2. Read the plan file thoroughly - understand the full scope of work
3. Think deeply about the implementation approach before starting
4. Execute the plan step-by-step:
- Create new files as specified
- Modify existing files as outlined
- Follow code patterns and conventions from the plan
5. After implementation, report:
- Summary of completed work (bullet points)
- Files changed with `git diff --stat`

## Examples

**Example 1: Building from a plan**
```
User: /build specs/authentication-system.md
Claude: [Reads authentication-system.md plan]
[Implements all steps]
Summary:
- Created JWT middleware in src/middleware/auth.ts
- Added login endpoint to src/routes/auth.ts
- Added password hashing utilities
[Shows git diff --stat output]
```

**Example 2: Implementing a feature plan**
```
User: Build the payment integration from specs/stripe-integration.md
Claude: [Reads plan and implements stripe integration]
Summary:
- Integrated Stripe API client
- Created payment endpoints
- Added webhooks for payment events
```

jax-development

Included

Use this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.

Writing & Docsscripts

nature-article-writer

Included

Drafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.

Writing & Docsscripts

deckrd

Included

Document-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.

Writing & Docsscripts

clinical-decision-support

Included

Generate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.

Writing & Docsscripts

handling-sf-data

Included

Salesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).

accelint-ac-to-playwright

Included

Convert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
