Write Implementation Spec

Any agent can use this skill to produce an architect-quality implementation plan for an issue.

Steps

1. Read the issue file at plan/issues/{N}.md

2. For each sub-pattern in the issue, find the codegen function:

# Search for relevant function names
grep -n "function compile.*{keyword}" src/codegen/*.ts
# Or search for the Wasm instruction that's wrong
grep -n "{wasm_op}" src/codegen/*.ts

1. Read the function and understand current behavior (what it emits and why it's wrong)

2. Design the fix — what instructions should be emitted instead

3. Write the spec in the issue file under ## Implementation Plan:

## Implementation Plan

### Root cause
[1-2 sentences]

### Work Item {letter}: {title} (~{N} CE)
**Patterns addressed**: {which sub-patterns from the breakdown}
**Risk**: {Low|Medium|High} — {why}
**Priority**: {1st|2nd|3rd}

#### Root cause
{specific function and line that emits wrong instructions}

#### Changes
**File: `src/codegen/{file}.ts`**
- Function `{name}` (line ~{N})
- {what to change and why}

#### Edge cases
- {case 1}
- {case 2}

#### Test
{specific test262 file to verify: before fix = CE, after fix = pass or runtime error}

1. Recommend which work items to do first (highest impact, lowest risk)

Principles

• Every fix should be ~10-20 lines, purely additive
• No new repair passes — extend existing logic
• No instruction stream restructuring
• Each work item independently testable
• Prefer compile-time fixes over post-hoc repairs
