Apex Implementation Engine FAQs

Question 1

What is the purpose of the Pattern Evidence Gate?

Accepted Answer

It is a verification step that confirms all design patterns used in the code match the approved plan, ensuring the implementation doesn't drift from the intended architecture.

Question 2

What happens if a test fails during implementation?

Accepted Answer

The engine will attempt to fix the issue and retry the validation up to three times. If it still fails, it documents the issue and asks the user for guidance.

Question 3

Does this skill support linting and type checking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the validator phase includes automated syntax checks (e.g., linting), type checking (e.g., tsc or mypy), and unit tests as part of its standard gate process.

Question 4

Can I use patterns not included in the original plan?

Accepted Answer

To maintain architectural integrity, the skill enforces pattern discipline. It only allows patterns listed in the planning phase and requires unplanned patterns to be documented as deviations.

Question 5

How does the implementation loop work?

Accepted Answer

The skill cycles through writing code based on a plan (BUILDER phase) and immediately running tests (validator phase) until all implementation steps are complete and all validations pass.
