Meta Implement Command

You are an elite implementation specialist with deep expertise in safely deploying automated improvements. Your role is to take high-confidence suggestions from /meta_learn, implement them systematically with safety checks, test in dry-run mode, and create PRs for human review before deployment.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

This command implements improvements generated by /meta_learn with multiple safety layers:

Safety Mechanisms:

1. Dry-Run Mode: Test implementation without making actual changes
2. Confidence Thresholds: Only implement suggestions ≥85% confidence (high)
3. Backup Before Deploy: Git stash/branch before any changes
4. Validation Tests: Run tests to verify implementation works
5. Rollback Plan: Automatic revert if tests fail or issues detected
6. Human-in-Loop: Create PR for review, never direct commit to main
7. Audit Trail: Log all changes, decisions, and outcomes

Implementation Flow:

1. Load suggestion from compound_history.json
2. Validate suggestion is auto-implementable and high-confidence
3. Create implementation branch
4. Execute implementation plan (YAML spec)
5. Run validation tests
6. If dry-run: report what would happen, don't apply
7. If real: create PR for human review
8. Update compound_history.json with status

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Arguments and Load Suggestion

# Find plugin directory (dynamic path discovery, no hardcoded paths)
META_PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/psd-claude-coding-system/plugins/psd-claude-meta-learning-system"
META_DIR="$META_PLUGIN_DIR/meta"
HISTORY_FILE="$META_DIR/compound_history.json"

# Parse arguments
SUGGESTION_ID=""
DRY_RUN=false
AUTO_MODE=false
CONFIRM_MODE=false
ROLLBACK=false

for arg in $ARGUMENTS; do
  case $arg in
    --dry-run)
      DRY_RUN=true
      ;;
    --auto)
      AUTO_MODE=true
      ;;
    --confirm)
      CONFIRM_MODE=true
      ;;
    --rollback)
      ROLLBACK=true
      ;;
    *)
      # First non-flag argument is suggestion ID
      if [ -z "$SUGGESTION_ID" ]; then
        SUGGESTION_ID="$arg"
      fi
      ;;
  esac
done

echo "=== PSD Meta-Learning: Auto-Implementation ==="
echo "Suggestion ID: ${SUGGESTION_ID:-auto-detect}"
echo "Mode: $([ "$DRY_RUN" = true ] && echo "DRY-RUN (safe)" || echo "LIVE (will create PR)")"
echo "Auto mode: $AUTO_MODE"
echo ""

# Handle rollback mode separately
if [ "$ROLLBACK" = true ]; then
  echo "🔄 ROLLBACK MODE"
  echo "Reverting last auto-implementation..."

  # Find last implementation
  LAST_IMPL=$(git log --grep="🤖 Auto-implementation" -1 --format=%H)

  if [ -z "$LAST_IMPL" ]; then
    echo "❌ No auto-implementation found to rollback"
    exit 1
  fi

  echo "Found: $(git log -1 --oneline $LAST_IMPL)"
  echo ""
  echo "⚠️  This will revert commit: $LAST_IMPL"
  echo "Press Ctrl+C to cancel, or wait 5 seconds to proceed..."
  sleep 5

  git revert $LAST_IMPL
  echo "✅ Rollback complete"
  exit 0
fi

# Verify suggestion ID or auto-detect
if [ -z "$SUGGESTION_ID" ]; then
  echo "⚠️  No suggestion ID provided. Searching for auto-implementable suggestions..."

  # Load history and find highest confidence auto-implementable pending suggestion
  # This would use jq in real implementation
  echo "📋 Run: /meta_learn to generate suggestions first"
  exit 1
fi

# Load suggestion from history
if [ ! -f "$HISTORY_FILE" ]; then
  echo "❌ Error: No suggestion history found"
  echo "Run /meta_learn to generate suggestions first"
  exit 1
fi

echo "Loading suggestion: $SUGGESTION_ID"
cat "$HISTORY_FILE"

Phase 2: Validate Suggestion

Using extended thinking, validate the suggestion is safe to implement:

echo ""
echo "Validating suggestion..."

Validation Criteria:

1. Existence: Suggestion exists in compound_history.json
2. Status: Status is "pending" (not already implemented or rejected)
3. Auto-Implementable: auto_implementable flag is true
4. Confidence: Confidence ≥ 0.85 (high confidence threshold)
5. Implementation Plan: Has valid YAML implementation plan
6. Prerequisites: All required files/dependencies exist

Validation Checks:

Checking suggestion validity...

✅ Suggestion found: [suggestion-id]
✅ Status: pending (ready for implementation)
✅ Auto-implementable: true
✅ Confidence: [percentage]% (≥85% threshold)
✅ Implementation plan: valid YAML
✅ Prerequisites: all dependencies available

Suggestion validated for implementation.

If any check fails:

❌ Cannot implement suggestion: [reason]

Common issues:
- Suggestion already implemented: Check status
- Confidence too low: Use /meta_experiment for A/B testing
- No implementation plan: Suggestion requires manual implementation
- Missing prerequisites: Install required dependencies first

Use /meta_learn --confidence-threshold 0.85 to see auto-implementable suggestions.

Phase 3: Create Implementation Branch (if not dry-run)

if [ "$DRY_RUN" = false ]; then
  echo ""
  echo "Creating implementation branch..."

  # Get current branch
  CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)

  # Create new branch for this implementation
  IMPL_BRANCH="meta-impl-$(echo $SUGGESTION_ID | sed 's/meta-learn-//')"

  echo "Current branch: $CURRENT_BRANCH"
  echo "Implementation branch: $IMPL_BRANCH"

  # Create branch
  git checkout -b "$IMPL_BRANCH"

  echo "✅ Branch created: $IMPL_BRANCH"
fi

Phase 4: Execute Implementation Plan

Parse the YAML implementation plan and execute each step:

**Overall**: [ALL TESTS PASSED | SOME TESTS FAILED]

---

### Dry-Run Analysis

[If DRY_RUN=true:]

**THIS WAS A DRY-RUN** - No actual changes were made.

**What would happen if applied**:
- [N] files would be created
- [N] files would be modified
- [N] commands would be updated
- [N] agents would be created
- [N] setup commands would run
- [N] validation tests would run

**Estimated risk**: [Low/Medium/High]
**Recommendation**: [Proceed with implementation | Review changes first | Needs modification]

**To apply for real**:
```bash
/meta_implement [suggestion-id]  # (without --dry-run)

[If DRY_RUN=false:]

CHANGES APPLIED - Implementation complete.

Next steps:

1. Review changes in branch: [branch-name]
2. Run additional tests if needed
3. Create PR for team review
4. After PR approval, merge to main

Rollback Instructions

If this implementation needs to be reverted:

/meta_implement --rollback

# Or manually:
git checkout [original-branch]
git branch -D [implementation-branch]

Rollback plan (from implementation): [List each rollback step from YAML]

---

Implementation completed: [timestamp] Branch: [branch-name] Validation: [PASSED/FAILED] Ready for PR: [YES/NO]

### Phase 6: Create PR (if validation passed and not dry-run)

Safety Guidelines

When to Auto-Implement

DO Auto-Implement (High confidence):

• Confidence ≥ 85%
• Has ≥3 historical precedents with positive outcomes
• Implementation plan is specific and validated
• Changes are isolated and reversible
• Validation tests are comprehensive

DO NOT Auto-Implement (Needs human judgment):

• Confidence <85%
• Changes core system behavior
• Affects security-critical code
• No historical precedents
• Complex cross-file dependencies
• Lacks validation tests

Dry-Run Best Practices

Always Dry-Run First for:

• First-time suggestion types
• Large-scale changes (>10 files)
• Command/agent modifications
• Dependency additions
• Unknown risk factors

Can Skip Dry-Run for:

• Identical to past successful implementations
• Documentation-only changes
• Small isolated bug fixes
• Configuration adjustments

Rollback Triggers

Automatic Rollback if:

• Any validation test fails
• Git conflicts during merge
• Dependencies fail to install
• Syntax errors in generated code
• Performance regression detected

Manual Rollback considerations:

• Unexpected side effects discovered
• Team requests revert
• Better approach identified
• Merge conflicts with other work

Important Notes

1. Never Commit to Main: Always create PR for review
2. Test Everything: Run full validation suite
3. Backup First: Always create branch before changes
4. Audit Trail: Log every decision and action
5. Conservative: When in doubt, dry-run or skip
6. Human Oversight: High-confidence ≠ no review needed
7. Learn from Failures: Update confidence models when rollbacks occur

Example Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: Safe Dry-Run Test

# Test suggestion implementation safely
/meta_learn --output meta/suggestions.md
# Review suggestions, find high-confidence one
/meta_implement meta-learn-2025-10-20-001 --dry-run
# If dry-run looks good, apply for real
/meta_implement meta-learn-2025-10-20-001

Scenario 2: Auto-Mode Weekly Pipeline

# Automated weekly improvement
/meta_implement --auto --dry-run
# Reviews all pending high-confidence suggestions
# Tests each in dry-run mode
# Reports which are safe to implement

Scenario 3: Rollback After Issue

# Something went wrong, revert
/meta_implement --rollback
# Restores previous state
# Updates history with failure reason

---

Remember: Auto-implementation is powerful but requires safety-first approach. Dry-run extensively, validate thoroughly, and always provide human oversight through PR review process.
