# Code Command: Flexible Feature Implementation
Transform any input into working code with intelligent orchestration.
## Core Philosophy
**Accept anything, infer everything, build intelligently.**
No flags, no ceremony - just provide context and get code.
## Usage Examples
```bash
# Quick feature from brief
/lazy code "add logout button to header"
# From user story file
/lazy code @US-3.4.md
/lazy code US-3.4.md
# From task ID (auto-finds story)
/lazy code TASK-003
# From GitHub issue
/lazy code #456
/lazy code 456
```
## Input Detection Logic
### Phase 0: Parse Input
**Detect input type:**
```python
input = "$ARGUMENTS".strip()
if input.startswith("@") or input.endswith(".md"):
# User story file reference
input_type = "story_file"
story_file = input.lstrip("@")
elif input.startswith("TASK-") or input.startswith("task-"):
# Task ID - need to find story
input_type = "task_id"
task_id = input.upper()
elif input.startswith("#") or input.isdigit():
# GitHub issue
input_type = "github_issue"
issue_number = input.lstrip("#")
else:
# Brief description
input_type = "brief"
feature_brief = input
```
### Phase 1: Load Context
**From User Story File:**
```bash
# If input is @US-3.4.md or US-3.4.md
story_path="./project-management/US-STORY/*/US-story.md"
story_path=$(find ./project-management/US-STORY -name "*${story_id}*" -type d -exec find {} -name "US-story.md" \; | head -1)
# Read full story content
story_content=$(cat "$story_path")
# Find next pending task or use all tasks
next_task=$(grep -E "^### TASK-[0-9]+" "$story_path" | head -1)
```
**From Task ID:**
```bash
# If input is TASK-003
# Find which story contains this task
story_path=$(grep -r "### ${task_id}:" ./project-management/US-STORY --include="US-story.md" -l | head -1)
# Extract story content
story_content=$(cat "$story_path")
# Extract specific task section
task_section=$(sed -n "/^### ${task_id}:/,/^### TASK-/p" "$story_path" | sed '$d')
```
**From GitHub Issue:**
```bash
# If input is #456 or 456
issue_content=$(gh issue view ${issue_number} --json title,body,labels --jq '{title, body, labels: [.labels[].name]}')
# Parse as story or task
# If issue has "user-story" label, treat as story
# Otherwise treat as single task
```
**From Brief Description:**
```bash
# If input is "add logout button to header"
# Create minimal context
feature_brief="$input"
# Generate inline task
task_section="
### TASK-1: ${feature_brief}
**Description:**
${feature_brief}
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Implementation works as described
- Code follows project conventions
- Basic error handling included
"
```
## Smart Orchestration Logic
### Auto-Detection Rules
**1. Test Detection:**
```python
# Check if project uses tests
has_tests = any([
exists("pytest.ini"),
exists("tests/"),
exists("__tests__/"),
exists("*.test.js"),
exists("*_test.py"),
])
# Check if TDD mentioned in docs
tdd_required = any([
"TDD" in read("README.md"),
"test-driven" in read("CLAUDE.md"),
"LAZYDEV_ENFORCE_TDD" in env,
])
# Decision
run_tests = has_tests or tdd_required or "test" in task_section.lower()
```
**2. Complexity Detection:**
```python
# Analyze task complexity
complexity_indicators = [
"security", "authentication", "auth", "payment",
"database", "migration", "critical", "api",
]
# Check task content
is_complex = any(keyword in task_section.lower() for keyword in complexity_indicators)
# Check estimate
if "Estimate:" in task_section:
estimate = extract_estimate(task_section)
is_complex = is_complex or estimate in ["L", "Large"]
# Default to simple
complexity = "complex" if is_complex else "simple"
```
**3. Review Detection:**
```python
# Always review complex tasks
needs_review = is_complex
# Review if multi-file changes expected
if not needs_review:
# Check if task mentions multiple files/modules
multi_file_keywords = [
"refactor", "restructure", "multiple files",
"across", "integration", "system-wide"
]
needs_review = any(kw in task_section.lower() for kw in multi_file_keywords)
# Can skip for simple single-file changes
skip_review = not needs_review and complexity == "simple"
```
**4. User Story Detection:**
```python
# Check if we have a full story or single task
if input_type == "story_file":
has_story = True
# Work through tasks sequentially
elif input_type == "task_id":
has_story = True
# Story was found, implement specific task
elif input_type == "github_issue":
# Check if issue is tagged as story
has_story = "user-story" in issue_labels
else: # brief
has_story = False
# Single task, quick implementation
```
## Execution Workflow
### Phase 2: Git Branch Setup
```bash
# Only create branch if working from story
if [ "$has_story" = true ]; then
# Extract story ID from path or content
story_id=$(extract_story_id)
branch_name="feat/${story_id}-$(slugify_story_title)"
# Create or checkout branch
if git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/heads/$branch_name"; then
git checkout "$branch_name"
else
git checkout -b "$branch_name"
fi
else
# Work on current branch for quick tasks
current_branch=$(git branch --show-current)
echo "Working on current branch: $current_branch"
fi
```
### Phase 3: Implementation
**Delegate to coder agent:**
```python
Task(
prompt=f"""
You are the Coder Agent for LAZY-DEV-FRAMEWORK.
## Context Provided
{story_content if has_story else ""}
## Task to Implement
{task_section}
## Implementation Guidelines
1. **Read existing code first:**
- Check README.md for project structure and conventions
- Look for similar implementations in codebase
- Identify existing patterns and styles
2. **Write clean, maintainable code:**
- Type hints on all functions (if Python/TypeScript)
- Docstrings for public APIs
- Clear variable names
- Error handling with specific exceptions
3. **Follow project conventions:**
- Check for .editorconfig, .prettierrc, pyproject.toml
- Match existing code style
- Use project's logging/error patterns
4. **Tests (if required):**
- TDD required: {run_tests}
- Write tests if TDD enabled or "test" mentioned in task
- Follow existing test patterns in repo
- Aim for edge case coverage
5. **Security considerations:**
- Input validation
- No hardcoded secrets
- Proper error messages (no sensitive data leaks)
- Follow OWASP guidelines for web/API code
## Quality Standards
Code will be automatically checked by PostToolUse hook:
- Formatting (Black/Ruff/Prettier if configured)
- Linting (Ruff/ESLint if configured)
- Type checking (Mypy/TSC if configured)
- Tests (Pytest/Jest if TDD enabled)
Write quality code to pass these checks on first run.
## Output
Provide:
1. Implementation files (with full paths)
2. Test files (if TDD enabled)
3. Updated documentation (if API changes)
4. Brief summary of changes
DO NOT create a commit - that happens after review.

```
### Phase 4: Quality Checks (Automatic)
**PostToolUse hook handles this automatically after Write/Edit operations:**
- Format: Auto-applied (Black/Ruff/Prettier)
- Lint: Auto-checked, warns if issues
- Type: Auto-checked, warns if issues
- Tests: Auto-run if TDD required
**No manual action needed** - hook runs after coder agent completes.
### Phase 5: Code Review (Conditional)
**Review decision:**
```python
if needs_review:
# Invoke reviewer agent for complex/critical tasks
Task(
prompt=f"""
You are the Reviewer Agent for LAZY-DEV-FRAMEWORK.
## Task Being Reviewed
{task_section}
## Changes Made
{git_diff_output}

## Key Principles
1. **Zero Configuration**: No flags, no setup - just provide input
2. **Smart Defaults**: Infer tests, review, complexity from context
3. **Flexible Input**: Accept stories, tasks, briefs, issues
4. **Auto Quality**: PostToolUse hook handles formatting/linting/tests
5. **Contextual Branching**: Stories get branches, briefs work on current
6. **Progressive Enhancement**: More context = smarter orchestration
## Integration Points
**With plan command:**
```bash
/lazy plan "feature description" # Creates US-story.md
/lazy code @US-story.md # Implements first task
/lazy code TASK-002 # Continues with next task
```
**With review command:**
```bash
/lazy code TASK-001 # Commit 1
/lazy code TASK-002 # Commit 2
/lazy code TASK-003 # Commit 3
/lazy review US-3.4 # Review all tasks, create PR
```
**With fix command:**
```bash
/lazy code TASK-001 # Implementation
/lazy review US-3.4 # Generates review-report.md
/lazy fix review-report.md # Apply fixes
```
## Environment Variables
```bash
# Force TDD for all tasks
export LAZYDEV_ENFORCE_TDD=1
# Minimum test count
export LAZYDEV_MIN_TESTS=3
# Skip review for all tasks (not recommended)
export LAZYDEV_SKIP_REVIEW=1
```
## Troubleshooting
**Issue: Task ID not found**
```bash
# Check story files exist
ls -la ./project-management/US-STORY/*/US-story.md
# Search for task manually
grep -r "TASK-003" ./project-management/US-STORY
```
**Issue: Tests not running**
```bash
# Check test framework installed
pytest --version # or: npm test
# Check TDD configuration
cat CLAUDE.md | grep -i tdd
echo $LAZYDEV_ENFORCE_TDD
```
**Issue: Review not triggering**
```bash
# Reviews trigger automatically for:
# - Complex tasks (security/auth/database)
# - Multi-file changes
# - Large estimates
# To force review, set in task:
### TASK-X: ... [REVIEW_REQUIRED]
