Implementing Features

With your feature tree planned, agents can start implementing. Manifest tracks state and records history as work progresses.

Finding work

What should we work on next?

The agent finds the highest-priority proposed feature from the Now version.

Starting work

Implement OAuth

Manifest records:

State transitions to in_progress (○)
Other agents see this feature is claimed

Completing work

When the agent finishes, Manifest records:

State transitions to implemented (●)
History entry with summary of what was done
Links to commits from the session
