Install the spec-execution skill
A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter.git /tmp/babysitter mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -r /tmp/babysitter/library/methodologies/claudekit/skills/spec-execution ~/.claude/skills/spec-execution

The instructions your agent would load
SKILL.md as published, without the frontmatter. Read it on GitHub
- Read specification for requirements and architecture
- Implement each requirement following project conventions
- Add type definitions and JSDoc documentation
- Implement error handling for all failure modes
Phase 2: Test Writing
- Write unit tests for each module/function
- Write integration tests for API boundaries
- Cover all acceptance criteria from the specification
- Test edge cases and error paths
Phase 3: Code Review
- Verify all requirements are implemented
- Check acceptance criteria are tested
- Review architecture adherence
- Assess code quality
Phase 4: Iterative Improvement
- Address review findings
- Fix failing tests
- Resolve architecture deviations
- Re-verify quality (convergence loop, max 3 cycles)
Phase 5: Atomic Commit
- Group changes into logical atomic commits
- Descriptive messages following project conventions
- Separate production, test, and config changes
- Include specification reference
Phase 6: Progress Tracking
- Requirement completion percentage
- Test coverage summary
- Quality score report
- Remaining work identification
Quality Gate
Quality threshold defaults to 80. If not met after max improvement cycles, a human breakpoint is triggered for review.
When to Use
- /spec:execute [file] slash command
- After spec creation when ready to implement
Processes Used By
- claudekit-spec-workflow (execute mode)
