Build Implementation Prompt

Generate implementation prompts via the Skene CLI. The CLI generates the plan, not you.

Agent behavior rules

• Autonomous. Run the CLI, read the output, execute the implementation. No mid-flow questions.
• CLI is the source of truth. If uvx skene build fails, report the error. Do NOT write your own implementation plan as a substitute.
• User cannot type into agent terminals. The agent handles all CLI input.

Steps

1. Discover CLI options

Run uvx skene build --help to see available flags and understand any interactive prompts.

1. Verify loop selection

ls .skene/active-loop.json 2>/dev/null || ls skene-context/growth-loops/ 2>/dev/null || ls skene/growth-loops/ 2>/dev/null If missing: "Run /skene-plan first." Stop.

1. Generate implementation prompt

The CLI may present a menu (e.g. "Select option [1/2/3/4]"). Always pipe the option that shows the full prompt in the terminal (typically 3 for "Show full prompt"): `` echo 3 | uvx skene build `` If the menu options differ from expected, check --help output or the terminal output to pick the "show/print prompt" option.

1. Read the prompt

The CLI saves output to skene-context/growth-loops/ (legacy skene/growth-loops/). Read the full implementation prompt from the terminal output or that directory.

1. Execute the prompt

Start implementing the steps from the CLI-generated prompt directly. Present a brief summary of what will be done, then execute. Break large implementations into logical chunks.

1. Report completion

"Implementation complete. Run /skene-status to validate."

Error handling

• CLI failure: Report error, suggest fix. Do NOT fabricate implementation plans.
• Stuck on menu prompt: Kill terminal, re-run with piped input.
• Permission errors: Give user the command for their terminal.

Output

Summary of what was implemented + "Run /skene-status to validate."
