You are implementing a specification from the .agents/plans/ directory. Work autonomously until the feature is complete and tests pass.

Your Task

  1. Determine the spec - Based on the conversation context, identify which spec file in .agents/plans/ to implement. Ask the user if multiple specs exist or if unclear.
  2. Read the spec - Load the identified specification file
  3. Read ARCHITECTURE.md - Understand the project's layered architecture and how your feature fits into the high-level/low-level API structure
  4. Read CODE_STYLE.md for formatting conventions
  5. Plan the implementation using the TodoWrite tool to break down the work
  6. Implement the feature following the spec and code style
  7. Write tests for all new functionality
  8. Run tests and fix any failures
  9. Run typecheck and lint and fix any issues

Implementation Guidelines

Before Coding

  • Understand the spec's goals and scope
  • Identify the desired API from usage examples in the spec
  • Review related existing code to understand patterns
  • Consult ARCHITECTURE.md - Determine which layer(s) your feature belongs to and how it fits into the overall structure
  • Break the work into discrete tasks using TodoWrite

Architecture Patterns

Most features should implement both low-level and high-level variants:

Low-level first:

  • Direct manipulation of PDF COS objects (PdfDict, PdfArray, PdfStream)
  • Core functionality without ergonomic abstractions
  • Typically in src/core/ or appropriate layer directory

High-level adapter:

  • User-friendly methods on main classes (PDF, PDFPage, etc.)
  • Validates inputs, provides defaults, handles edge cases
  • Delegates to low-level implementation

Example structure:

src/
├── core/
│   └── shading.ts          # Low-level: PdfStream creation
└── api/
    └── page.ts             # High-level: page.drawGradient()

During Implementation

  • Follow CODE_STYLE.md strictly (2-space indent, double quotes, braces always, etc.)
  • Use #src/* import alias for internal imports
  • Co-locate tests as *.test.ts files
  • Write tests as you go, not at the end
  • Mark todos complete as you finish each task
  • Commit logical chunks of work

Code Quality

  • No stubbed implementations or skipped tests
  • Handle edge cases and error conditions
  • Include descriptive error messages with context
  • Use async/await for all I/O operations

Testing

  • Write tests first when practical (TDD)
  • Test happy paths and edge cases
  • Test error conditions
  • Use fixtures from fixtures/ directory with loadFixture()

Autonomous Workflow

Work continuously through these steps:

  1. Implement - Write the code for the current task
  2. Test - Run bun run test to verify
  3. Fix - If tests fail, fix and re-run
  4. Typecheck - Run bun run typecheck
  5. Lint - Run bun run lint:fix
  6. Repeat - Move to next task

Stopping Conditions

Stop and report success when:

  • All spec requirements are implemented
  • All tests pass
  • Typecheck passes
  • Lint passes

Stop and ask for help when:

  • The spec is ambiguous and you need clarification
  • You encounter a blocking issue you cannot resolve
  • You need to make a decision that significantly deviates from the spec
  • External dependencies or fixtures are missing

Commands

bun run test                    # Run tests in watch mode
bun run test:run                # Run tests once
bun run test -- --grep "pattern" # Run specific tests
bun run typecheck           # Type check
bun run lint:fix            # Fix lint issues

Begin

Identify the spec file from the conversation context, read it along with CODE_STYLE.md, then start implementing. Use TodoWrite to track your progress throughout.
