Can I close a task if my unit tests are failing?

No. The skill enforces a strict quality bar. All tests, type checks, and linting must pass with zero errors before Phase 4 closure can be initiated.

Do I need to run other commands before using this skill?

Yes, you must have a valid .linear-mapping.json file, typically generated by running the /dev.taskstolinear skill first.

What project management tools does dev.implement support?

This skill is purpose-built for Linear and requires the Linear MCP server to be configured to interact with your workspace.

Does this skill update my local documentation?

Yes, it automatically updates the checkboxes in your tasks.md file and synchronizes the local .linear-mapping.json file upon task completion.

Collaboration Tools

Synchronizes implementation workflows with Linear issues through automated claiming, validation, and closure documentation.

The dev.implement skill bridges the gap between AI-driven code implementation and project management by automating the end-to-end lifecycle of Linear tasks. It ensures that Claude properly claims issues, implements changes based on specific design artifacts, and passes rigorous local validation gates—including tests, type checks, and linting—before closing tasks. By automating the creation of closure comments and status updates, it maintains a perfect audit trail and ensures project synchronization between local source code and the Linear project management platform.

Key Features
