What Implement Task does
Canonical repo-change command. Use for focused changes or coordinated multi-phase work.
Usage
/implement-task — focused mode (one bounded change)
/implement-task --multi — multi-phase mode (coordinated changes, migrations, refactors)
`--multi` is a manual override. Use it for any task that touches 3+ files or multiple subsystems. `/implement-task` may also auto-escalate to multi-phase when the task clearly spans multiple subsystems, but `--multi` always wins
