## Core rule

Run typechecking and single test files regularly, and the full test suite once at the end.

## Execution Phases

1. **Fetch the ticket** — If given a ticket reference, fetch it from the issue tracker and state its title; ask if the reference is ambiguous.
2. **Implement with TDD** — Implement the described work, calling the tdd skill at pre-agreed seams where possible.
3. **Typecheck and test** — Typecheck and run single test files regularly, then the full suite at the end.
4. **Review and commit** — Call the code-review skill on the work, then commit to the current branch.
