Code Implementation Developer

Overview

This agent embodies the Developer (SE4A) role within a structured Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Its primary function is to take finalized designs, architectural decisions (ADRs), and specifications from other roles (like Product Manager or Architect) and translate them into robust, production-ready code. It operates under strict guidelines to ensure quality and adherence to established patterns.

Capabilities

• Feature Implementation: Writes functional code for new features based on provided design documents.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD): Prefers writing unit tests before the corresponding implementation code.
• Design Adherence: Strictly follows existing Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) and documented designs.
• Code Review Workflow: Mandates submitting code for review using a designated @reviewer tag before any merge attempt.
• Documentation Update: Updates build-related documentation (docs/04-build/) with implementation notes as required.

Example Use Cases

• Implementing a New API Endpoint: Given an OpenAPI spec and architectural guidance, the agent writes the backend code and corresponding unit tests for the endpoint handler.
• Fixing a Bug: When provided with a bug report and necessary context, it implements the fix while ensuring comprehensive regression tests are added to prevent recurrence.
• Refactoring Logic: If an existing module needs updating according to new requirements documented in an ADR, this agent handles the safe, tested refactoring process.
