You are a senior developer implementing a feature for a study material exchange marketplace.
Always follow `.claude/CLAUDE.md`.

# PHASE 1 — PLAN

---

## Step 1 — Verify repository state

Run:
```bash
git status --porcelain

If any modified, staged, or untracked files exist, stop and say: "Working directory is not clean. Commit, stash, or discard changes before planning implementation."

DO NOT CONTINUE until the working directory is clean.

Step 2 — Resolve the spec file

Accept any of these forms:

  • 06
  • 06-schema
  • 06-schema.md
  • .claude/specs/technical/06-schema.md

If not a full path:

find .claude/specs -name "*<identifier>*" -type f
  • 0 matches → stop: "No spec file found matching ''."
  • 1 match → use it
  • 2+ matches → list them and ask the user to clarify

Derive:

  • spec_path — e.g. .claude/specs/technical/06-schema.md
  • spec_name — e.g. 06-schema
  • spec_subfolder — e.g. technical
  • feature_slug — e.g. schema
  • branch_nameimpl/<spec_name> e.g. impl/06-schema

Step 3 — Check review status

find .claude/specs/reviews -name "*<spec_name>*" -type f

If a review file exists, read it and check the verdict:

  • BLOCKED → stop: "Spec is marked BLOCKED in review. Fix all blockers before implementing."
  • NEEDS FIXES → continue, but include all unresolved issues in the plan under Risks
  • READY → continue normally
  • No review file → continue normally

Step 4 — Read required context

Always read:

  • spec_path
  • .claude/CLAUDE.md

Read only if relevant to this spec:

  • .claude/docs/AUTH.md — if spec touches auth, JWT, users, or protected routes
  • .claude/docs/SCHEMA.md — if spec touches DB tables, columns, or migrations
  • .claude/docs/PAYMENT.md — if spec touches payments, passkey, transactions, or webhooks
  • .claude/specs/decisions/DECISIONS.md — if spec makes or references architectural choices

Read specs listed in "Depends on" section of the target spec — always.

Read additional specs only when they share:

  • same DB tables
  • same endpoints
  • same Redis keys
  • same workflow steps

Do not read specs that are unrelated to this feature.

Step 5 — Verify implementability

Before producing the plan, check every item below. If any check fails — stop and report the exact problem. Do not invent a solution.

  1. Every referenced DB table exists in SCHEMA.md or is created by a dependency spec
  2. Every referenced column exists in SCHEMA.md or is created by a dependency spec
  3. Every referenced endpoint exists in a router or is defined in this spec
  4. Every referenced Redis key is documented in CLAUDE.md
  5. Every referenced environment variable is defined in CLAUDE.md
  6. Every referenced package is in the approved stack in CLAUDE.md
  7. Nothing contradicts CLAUDE.md, AUTH.md, SCHEMA.md, PAYMENT.md, or DECISIONS.md
  8. Nothing in scope appears in "What NOT to build in v1" in CLAUDE.md

Step 6 — Produce the implementation plan

Output the plan in this exact format. Do not write any code yet.


Implementation Plan:

Overview

One paragraph. What this feature does, what it touches, and why it is being built now.

Files to create

  • <path>

Files to modify

  • <path>

Database changes

None OR Migration required:

  • Table:
  • Index:
  • Constraint:

Never modify existing migration files.

API changes

Routes added:

  • METHOD /path

Routes modified:

  • METHOD /path

Frontend changes

  • Pages:
  • Components:
  • Queries/mutations:

Backend changes

  • Routers:
  • Services:
  • Models:
  • Jobs:

New dependencies

None OR

  • <package>

Security considerations

List every security rule from CLAUDE.md that applies to this feature:

  • Rule N:

Implementation order

  1. ...

Risks

Open questions

List anything unclear that could affect implementation. If none: "No open questions."

Step 7 — Wait for approval

After printing the plan, say exactly:

"Plan complete. Reply yes to begin implementation or no to cancel."

Stop. Do not write any code. Do not create any branches. Do not modify any files. Wait for the user's reply before proceeding.


PHASE 2 — EXECUTE (only after user replies yes)


Step 8 — Create implementation branch

git branch -a

If branch_name already exists, append a counter: impl/06-schema-01, etc.

git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b <branch_name>

Step 9 — Implement

Follow the spec and the approved plan exactly. Implement everything in "Files to create" and "Files to modify". Do not implement anything outside the approved plan's scope.

Enforce every code rule from CLAUDE.md:

  • JavaScript only on frontend — .js and .jsx, no TypeScript
  • logging.getLogger(__name__) at top of every new Python module
  • No print() in Python. No console.log() in JavaScript.
  • All DB operations async — no sync SQLAlchemy in FastAPI routes
  • Parameterized queries only — never f-string or string-concatenated SQL
  • Business logic in services/ — routers handle HTTP only
  • Prices in whole rupees — amount_rupees * 100 only at Razorpay API boundary
  • user["sub"] for user UUID from JWT — never use email as identifier
  • hmac.compare_digest for all hash comparisons — never ==
  • formatPrice(rupees) in JSX — never raw price values in templates
  • TanStack Query for all client server-state — no `u

Maintain Implement Spec?

Let people know it's listed here — add the badge (live metrics, light/dark aware) or a plain link to your README or docs.
