About sc-implement
sc-implement is an implementation skill for planning and carrying out software work, from components to APIs and services. It moves through analysis, planning, generation, validation, and integration, with options for quality checks, MCP tools, and iterative learning.
Key features
- 01Analyze requirements and form an implementation plan
- 02Generate components, APIs, services, or features
- 03Run security, quality, and principles validation
- 04Coordinate complex tasks with selectable strategies
- 05Support iterative improvement and skill learning
Use cases
- 01Implement an API with tests
- 02Build React or Vue components
- 03Orchestrate a complex feature task
- 04Improve an implementation through review loops
MCP support
The skill can use PAL MCP for architecture decisions, code review, debugging, and pre-commit checks, and Rube MCP to find integration tools and run automation. In loop mode, MCP tools are used between iterations.

From the project READMEImplementation Skill
Comprehensive feature implementation with coordinated expertise and systematic development.
Quick Start
# Basic implementation
/sc:implement [feature-description] --type component|api|service|feature
# With framework
/sc:implement dashboard widget --framework react|vue|express
# Complex orchestration
/sc:implement [task] --orchestrate --strategy systematic|agile|enterprise
Behavioral Flow
- Analyze - Examine requirements, detect technology context
- Plan - Choose approach, activate relevant personas
- Generate - Create implementation with framework best practices
- Validate - Apply security, quality, and principles validation
- Run KISS validation:
python .claude/skills/sc-principles/scripts/validate_kiss.py --scope-root . --json - Run Purity validation:
python .claude/skills/sc-principles/scripts/validate_purity.py --scope-root . --json - If blocked: Refactor code to comply before proceeding
- Run KISS validation:
- Integrate - Update docs, provide testing recommendations

MCP Integration
PAL MCP (Always Use for Quality)
| Tool | When to Use | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
mcp__pal__consensus | Architectural decisions | Multi-model validation before major changes |
mcp__pal__codereview | Code quality | Review implementation quality, security, performance |
mcp__pal__precommit | Before commit | Validate all changes before git commit |
mcp__pal__debug | Implementation issues | Root cause analysis for bugs encountered |
mcp__pal__thinkdeep | Complex features | Multi-stage analysis for complex implementations |
mcp__pal__planner | Large features | Sequential planning for multi-step implementations |
mcp__pal__apilookup | Dependencies | Get current API/SDK documentation |
mcp__pal__challenge | Code review feedback | Critically evaluate review suggestions |
PAL Usage Patterns
# Consensus for architectural decision
mcp__pal__consensus(
models=[
{"model": "gpt-5.2", "stance": "for"},
{"model": "gemini-3-pro", "stance": "against"},
{"model": "deepseek", "stance": "neutral"}
],
step="Evaluate: Should we use Redux or Context API for state management?"
)
# Pre-commit validation
mcp__pal__precommit(
path="/path/to/repo",
step="Validating implementation changes",
findings="Security, performance, completeness checks",
confidence="high"
)
# Code review after implementation
mcp__pal__codereview(
review_type="full",
step="Reviewing new authentication implementation",
findings="Quality, security, performance, architecture",
relevant_files=["/src/auth/login.ts", "/src/auth/middleware.ts"]
)
# Debug implementation issue
mcp__pal__debug(
step="Investigating why API returns 500 on edge case",
hypothesis="Null check missing for optional field",
confidence="medium"
)
Rube MCP (Automation & Integration)
| Tool | When to Use | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
mcp__rube__RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS | External services | Find APIs, SDKs, integrations |
mcp__rube__RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL | CI/CD, notifications | Trigger builds, notify team, update tickets |
mcp__rube__RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH | Code generation | Bulk code operations, transformations |
mcp__rube__RUBE_CREATE_UPDATE_RECIPE | Reusable workflows | Save implementation patterns as recipes |
mcp__rube__RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS | Verify integrations | Ensure external service connections |
Rube Usage Patterns
# Search for integration tools
mcp__rube__RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS(queries=[
{"use_case": "send slack message", "known_fields": "channel_name:dev-updates"},
{"use_case": "create github pull request", "known_fields": "repo:myapp"}

MCP-Powered Loop Mode
When --loop is enabled, MCP tools are used between iterations:
- Iteration N - Implement feature
- PAL codereview - Assess quality (target: 70+ score)
- PAL debug - Investigate any issues found
- Iteration N+1 - Apply improvements
- PAL precommit - Final validation before marking complete
Guardrails
- Start in analysis mode; produce scoped plan before touching files
- Only mark complete when referencing concrete repo changes (filenames + diff hunks)
- Return plan + next actions if tooling unavailable
- Prefer minimal viable change; skip speculative scaffolding
- Escalate to security persona before modifying auth/secrets/permissions
Evidence Requirements
This skill requires evidence. You MUST:
- Show actual file diffs or code changes
- Reference test results or lint output
- Never claim code exists without proof
Examples
React Component
/sc:implement user profile component --type component --framework react
API with Tests
/sc:implement user auth API --type api --safe --with-tests
Complex Orchestration
/sc:implement "enterprise auth system" --orchestrate --strategy systematic --delegate
Loop Mode & Learning
When using --loop, this skill integrates with the skill persistence layer for cross-session learning:
How Learning Works
- Feedback Recording - Each iteration's quality scores and improvements are persisted
- Skill Extraction - Successful patterns are extracted when quality threshold is met
- Skill Retrieval - Relevant learned skills are injected into subsequent tasks
- Effectiveness Tracking - Applied skills are tracked for success rate
Loop Flags
| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--loop | int | 3 | Enable iterative improvement (max 5) |
--learn | bool | true | Enable learning from this session |
--auto-promote | bool | false | Auto-promote high-quality skills |
Example with Learning
# Iterative implementation with learning
/sc:implement auth flow --loop 3 --learn
# View learned skills
