- New common/misc/tmux-launch-agent skill with detect-agent script and agents-seed.md (moved from engineering/setup-skills) - implement-issue simplified: delegates agent dispatch to tmux-launch-agent instead of inlining it - setup-skills stripped of Section E (agent CLI config) - New in-progress/agent-handoff skill using tmux-launch-agent - PKM skills simplified: conversation-summary and pkm-curation rewritten with leaner process, crit streamlined - knowledge-gardener removed (moved to common/in-progress/) - All READMEs updated to match

| implement-issue | Dispatch a child agent in an isolated git worktree to implement a piece of work based on a PRD or set of issues. | true |
Invocation
/skill:implement-issue [--base ] [--force]
<N>— required, the issue number--base <branch>— optional, target base branch (default: repo default branch)--force— optional, allow overwriting an existing worktree
Process
1. Setup
a. Label the issue in-progress
Change the issue triage labels to in-progress.
Completion criterion: The issue label is confirmed as in-progress.
b. Create the worktree
git worktree add -b <branch-name> ../<repo-name>-issue-<N> <base>
Completion criterion: The worktree exists at ../<repo-name>-issue-<N> and the new branch is checked out.
2. Compose the child prompt
Assemble a single prompt that the child agent will receive. Include:
- Issue body — the full markdown body of the issue.
- Comments — all comments, if any
- Standing instruction: "Implement using /tdd where possible, at the pre-agreed seam. Run typechecking regularly, run single test files regularly, and run the full test suite once at the end. Once done, use /code-review to review the work. Commit your work and push the new branch and create a PR with a link to the issue, one-sentence summary, and short key-changes list. Comment on the issue with the PR link:
PR opened: <url>. Change the issue triage label to needs-review when done." - Failure instruction: "If any step fails, report where you stopped and what remains for manual recovery. Print the exact commands needed."
(The prompt is passed as arguments to tmux-launch-agent in step 3, which handles writing it to a temp file if needed.)
Completion criterion: The prompt is composed with all required sections (issue body, comments, standing instruction, failure instruction).
3. Launch the child via tmux-launch-agent
Use the tmux-launch-agent skill to fork the child agent into a new tmux window. Tmux-launch-agent handles agent detection, config lookup, command building (prompt-file or stdin-pipe), mise/SHELL wrapping, and tmux new-window creation.
Pass these parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
--name |
"issue-<N>-<repo-slug>" — tmux window title |
| Remaining args | The full prompt text composed in step 2 |
Ensure the child agent starts in the worktree. If the current pane's working directory is already inside <absolute-worktree-path> (from step 1b), tmux-launch-agent's new window inherits it. Otherwise, add -c <absolute-worktree-path> to the tmux new-window command in tmux-launch-agent's step 6.
Do not pre-write the prompt to a separate file — tmux-launch-agent writes its own temp file if the target agent uses prompt-file mode.
The window stays open after the child completes so the user can review the output.
Completion criterion: tmux new-window exits 0 and a new tmux window appears with the child agent session active.
4. Print summary
After launching, print:
- Issue number and title
- Worktree path
- Branch name
- Base branch
- Agent used (detected by tmux-launch-agent)
- Tmux window name (so the user can find it)
- Cleanup command:
git worktree remove <worktree-path> && git worktree prune
The parent's turn ends here. The user can dispatch another issue immediately.
