Who it is forA developer who hands a roadmap to a coding agent that runs for days with little supervision.
The problemThe agent spends hours regenerating markers and reports progress as receipts repaired, while the product output does not change.
The outcomeThe agent focuses on semantic implementation and focused validation, and bookkeeping is done only when the user asks or the artifact is part of the product.
What you need first
- git installed, to clone the repository
- A shell that can run ./install.sh
- Claude Code, Codex, or another agent that loads skills from a skills directory
- A staged pipeline or repository where the agent works over several steps
Steps
git clone https://github.com/Vuk97/forward-implementation-firstcd forward-implementation-first./install.sh- Choose the project-scoped install by copying the skill directory to .claude/skills/ or .agents/skills/ in the repo, if you do not want it global.
- Give the agent the roadmap and ask it to report the implementation and validation evidence for each item.
Prompt for your agent
Using the forward-implementation-first skill, work through the roadmap in <roadmap-file> in the <repo-name> repository, building features and running focused validation without generating hashes, locks, or certification markers. Report each completed item with its validation result. Verify that every reported result comes from a test, benchmark, or end-to-end run rather than a receipt.
Caveat. The skill does not replace your own verification, and its claims about faster progress come from the author's experience, not from measured results in the README.
