REQUIRED INPUT (from ring:dev-cycle orchestrator):
- unit_id: [task/subtask being implemented]
- requirements: [acceptance criteria or task description]
- language: [go|typescript|python]
- service_type: [api|worker|batch|cli|frontend|bff]

OPTIONAL INPUT:
- technical_design: [path to design doc]
- existing_patterns: [patterns to follow]
- project_rules_path: [default: docs/PROJECT_RULES.md]

if any REQUIRED input is missing:
  → STOP and report: "Missing required input: [field]"
  → Return to orchestrator with error

1. Check PROJECT_RULES.md exists:
   Read tool → project_rules_path (default: docs/PROJECT_RULES.md)
   
   if not found:
     → STOP with blocker: "Cannot implement without project standards"
     → Return error to orchestrator

2. Select implementation agent based on language:

   | go | api, worker, batch, cli | ring:backend-engineer-golang |
   | typescript | api, worker | ring:backend-engineer-typescript |

    ⛔ TDD-RED PHASE: Write a FAILING Test

    ## Input Context
    - **Unit ID:** [unit_id]
    - **Requirements:** [requirements]
    - **Language:** [language]
    - **Service Type:** [service_type]

    ## Project Standards
    Read and follow: [project_rules_path]

    ## Ring Standards Reference
    For Go: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LerianStudio/ring/main/dev-team/docs/standards/golang.md
    For TS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LerianStudio/ring/main/dev-team/docs/standards/typescript.md

    ## Your Task
    1. Write a test that captures the expected behavior
    2. The test MUST FAIL (no implementation exists yet)
    3. Run the test and capture the FAILURE output

    ## Requirements for Test
    - Follow project naming conventions from PROJECT_RULES.md
    - Use table-driven tests (Go) or describe/it blocks (TS)
    - Test the happy path and edge cases
    - Include meaningful assertion messages

    ## Required Output Format

    ### Test File
    **Path:** [path/to/test_file]
    
    ```[language]
    [test code]
    ```

    ### Test Execution
    **Command:** [test command]
    **Result:** FAIL (expected)

    ### Failure Output (MANDATORY)
    ```
    [paste actual test failure output here]
    ```

    ⛔ HARD GATE: You MUST include actual failure output.
    Without failure output, TDD-RED is not complete.

Parse agent output:

1. Extract test file path
2. Extract failure output

if failure_output is missing or does not contain "FAIL":
  → STOP: "TDD-RED incomplete - no failure output captured"
  → Re-dispatch agent with clarification

if failure_output contains "FAIL":
  → implementation_state.tdd_red = {
      status: "completed",
      test_file: [extracted path],
      failure_output: [extracted output]
    }
  → Proceed to Step 6

    ⛔ TDD-GREEN PHASE: Make the Test PASS

    ## Input Context
    - **Unit ID:** [unit_id]
    - **Requirements:** [requirements]
    - **Language:** [language]
    - **Service Type:** [service_type]

    ## TDD-RED Results (from previous phase)
    - **Test File:** [implementation_state.tdd_red.test_file]
    - **Failure Output:**
    ```
    [implementation_state.tdd_red.failure_output]
    ```

    ## Project Standards
    Read and follow: [project_rules_path]

    ## Ring Standards Reference
    For Go: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LerianStudio/ring/main/dev-team/docs/standards/golang.md
    For TS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LerianStudio/ring/main/dev-team/docs/standards/typescript.md

    ## ⛔ CRITICAL: all Ring Standards Apply (no DEFERRAL)
    See Ring Standards for mandatory requirements:
    - Structured JSON logging with trace_id correlation
    - OpenTelemetry instrumentation (spans in every function)
    - Error handling (no panic, wrap with context)
    - Context propagation

    **⛔ HARD GATE:** If you output "DEFERRED" for any Ring Standard → Implementation is INCOMPLETE.

    ## Your Task
    1. Write MINIMAL code to make the test pass
    2. Follow all Ring Standards (logging, tracing, error handling)
    3. **Instrument all code with telemetry** (100% of handlers, services, repositories)
    4. Run the test and capture the PASS output

    ## ⛔ MANDATORY: Telemetry Instrumentation (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

    <cannot_skip>
    - 90%+ instrumentation coverage required
    - WebFetch standards file before implementation
    - Follow exact patterns from standards
    - Output Standards Coverage Table with evidence
    </cannot_skip>

    **every function that does work MUST be instrumented with telemetry.**
    This is not optional. This is not "nice to have". This is REQUIRED.

    ### What "Instrumented" Means
    1. **Extract logger/tracer from context** (not create new ones)
    2. **Create a child span** for the operation
    3. **Defer span.End()** immediately
    4. **Use structured logging** correlated with trace
    5. **Handle errors with span attribution** (business vs technical)

    ### Language-Specific Patterns (MANDATORY)

    **⛔ HARD GATE: Agent MUST WebFetch standards file BEFORE writing any code.**

    | Language | Standards File | REQUIRED Sections to WebFetch |
    |----------|----------------|-------------------------------|
    | **Go** | `golang.md` | "Telemetry & Observability (MANDATORY)", "Child Spans", "Context Propagation", "Anti-Patterns" |
    | **TypeScript** | `typescript.md` | "Observability", "Telemetry Patterns", "Context Propagation", "Anti-Patterns" |

    **⛔ NON-NEGOTIABLE: Agent MUST implement EXACTLY the patterns from standards. no deviations. no shortcuts.**

    | Requirement | Enforcement |
    |-------------|-------------|
    | WebFetch standards file | MANDATORY before implementation |
    | Follow exact patterns | REQUIRED - copy structure from standards |
    | Output Standards Coverage Table | REQUIRED - with file:line evidence |
    | 90%+ instrumentation coverage | HARD GATE - implementation REJECTED if below |

    ### ⛔ FORBIDDEN Patterns (HARD BLOCK)
    
    **Agent MUST WebFetch standards and check Anti-Patterns table. Violations = REJECTED.**

    - **Go:** `golang.md` → "Anti-Patterns" table - MUST check all rows
    - **TypeScript:** `typescript.md` → "Anti-Patterns" table - MUST check all rows

    **If agent uses any forbidden pattern → Implementation is INVALID. Start over.**

    ### Verification (MANDATORY)
    
    **Agent MUST output Standards Coverage Table per `standards-coverage-table.md`.**
    
    - all sections MUST show ✅ or N/A
    - any ❌ = Implementation REJECTED
    - Missing table = Implementation INCOMPLETE

    ## Required Output Format

    ### Implementation Files
    | File | Action | Lines |
    |------|--------|-------|
    | [path] | Created/Modified | +/-N |

    ### Code
    **Path:** [path/to/implementation_file]
    
    ```[language]
    [implementation code]
    ```

    ### Test Execution
    **Command:** [test command]
    **Result:** PASS

    ### Pass Output (MANDATORY)
    ```
    [paste actual test pass output here]
    ```

    ### Standards Compliance
    - Structured Logging: ✅/❌
    - OpenTelemetry Spans: ✅/❌
    - Error Handling: ✅/❌
    - Context Propagation: ✅/❌

    ### Commit
    **SHA:** [commit hash after implementation]

Parse agent output:

1. Extract implementation files
2. Extract pass output
3. Extract standards compliance
4. Extract commit SHA

if pass_output is missing or does not contain "PASS":
  → STOP: "TDD-GREEN incomplete - test not passing"
  → Re-dispatch agent with error details

if any standards compliance is ❌:
  → STOP: "Standards not met - [list failing standards]"
  → Re-dispatch agent to fix

if pass_output contains "PASS" and all standards ✅:
  → implementation_state.tdd_green = {
      status: "completed",
      implementation_files: [extracted files],
      pass_output: [extracted output],
      commit_sha: [extracted SHA]
    }
  → Proceed to Step 8
