openlore: Implement Story

When to use this skill

Trigger this skill when the user asks to implement a story or task on a codebase that has openlore analysis available, with phrasings like:

• "implement story X"
• "work on task Y"
• "start implementing this feature"
• explicit command /openlore-implement-story

Prerequisite: openlore analysis must exist (openlore analyze has been run). If orient returns "error": "no cache" → run analyze_codebase first, then retry.

Step 1 — Read the story and risk context

Read the story file. Extract:

• $STORY_TITLE, $AC (acceptance criteria), $PROJECT_ROOT
• $RISK_CONTEXT — the risk_context section if present (pre-filled by Architect Agent)

Situation	Approach
risk_context present, risk 🟢 < 40	Skip to Step 3 — use insertion point from context
risk_context present, risk 🟡 40–69	Run Step 2 impact check, then proceed
risk_context present, risk 🔴 ≥ 70	Stop — a blocking refactor story must be resolved first
risk_context absent	Run the full Step 2 orientation

---

Step 2 — Orient and assess risk

Call the openlore MCP tool orient with:

{
  "directory": "$PROJECT_ROOT",
  "task": "$STORY_TITLE",
  "limit": 7
}

For the top 2 functions returned, get minimal context first (callers, callees, body, test coverage in one call):

// get_minimal_context
{
  "directory": "$PROJECT_ROOT",
  "functionName": "$FUNCTION_NAME"
}

What to read from the result before proceeding:

• function.riskLevel — "high" means fanIn ≥ 30 or fanOut ≥ 15; the tool expanded caller/callee lists to 24. All shown entries are in scope.
• callers[*].callType — all "awaited" = async interface frozen; changing signature or return type breaks every caller. Mixed = looser coupling.
• callees[*].isExternal: true — function touches HTTP/DB boundary; new code paths may fail silently in tests (mocked) but loudly in production.
• testedBy[*].confidence — "called" = direct test (strong). "imported" = test imports module only; vi.mock() can nullify it. Only "imported" entries = treat as effectively untested.
