Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Use this when implementing or updating a feature in PolicyFlow within one owning vertical slice.

Key capabilities

  • Identify the owning vertical slice for a feature
  • Define the success target for the identified slice
  • Identify files belonging to the slice
  • Implement the smallest coherent end-to-end change within the slice
  • Update shared components only for true cross-slice dependencies
  • Add or update focused tests mirroring the slice

How it works

The skill organizes feature implementation by first identifying the owning vertical slice and its success target. It then guides changes within that slice, ensuring minimal impact on shared code and focused testing.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A request to implement or update a feature in PolicyFlow
You get back
A summary of changes including slice, files, shared changes, tests, and a manual verification step

When to use implement-slice

  • Implementing a new feature in PolicyFlow
  • Updating existing slice logic
  • Verifying feature completion

About this skill

When asked to implement a feature in PolicyFlow, organize the work around the owning slice.

Process

  1. Identify the owning slice.
  2. Define the success target for that slice.
  3. Identify the files that belong inside the slice.
  4. Implement the smallest coherent end-to-end change inside that slice.
  5. Update Shared only if the dependency is truly cross-slice.
  6. Add or update focused tests mirroring the slice.
  7. Summarize:
    • slice changed
    • files changed
    • Shared changes, if any
    • tests added or updated
    • one manual verification step

When not to use it

  • When implementing a feature outside of PolicyFlow
  • When the change impacts multiple vertical slices extensively
  • When the task is not about implementing or updating a feature

Limitations

  • The skill is specific to the PolicyFlow application.
  • It focuses on changes within one owning vertical slice.
  • Shared component updates are limited to truly cross-slice dependencies.

How it compares

This skill enforces a structured approach to feature implementation by isolating changes to a single vertical slice, which differs from making changes across an entire codebase without clear boundaries.
