What is the primary purpose of the ready-to-implement skill?

It serves as a checkpoint to ensure every work item in a design document is fully documented before the AI assistant begins the implementation or rough-drafting phase.

What happens if a work item is marked as 'pending'?

The skill will identify the pending items, list them for you, and return you to the work item loop to complete the necessary documentation.

How does it handle multiple active sessions?

If multiple sessions are detected, the skill will ask you to select the specific session you wish to validate using an interactive UI or terminal prompt.

Can I run this skill without an active session?

No, this skill requires an active collaboration session started via the /collab command. If no session is found, it will prompt you to start one.

Does this skill work with Mermaid diagrams?

Yes, it is part of the Claude-Mermaid-Collab repository and uses MCP tools to read and manage design documents integrated with Mermaid diagrams.

Collaboration Tools

Validates design completion and ensures all work items are documented before transitioning to the implementation phase.

About

The Ready to Implement skill acts as a critical quality gate for Claude Code projects, specifically within the Mermaid collaboration workflow. It ensures that no implementation begins without a complete design foundation by parsing active session documents and verifying that every work item is marked as documented. By enforcing this structured transition, the skill prevents 'implementation drift' and ensures that developers have a clear, documented roadmap before moving from brainstorming to the rough-draft and coding phases.
