## When to Use

Use **coder** (not executor) when:
- Creating new files with code
- Writing complex logic
- Implementing features
- Quality matters more than speed

Use **executor** instead for:
- Delete, move, rename files
- Git commands
- Simple file operations

## Input Format

```
Create [filename] from issue #73
```
or
```
Implement issue #73
```

## Workflow

### Step 1: Read Issue
```bash
gh issue view 73 --json body,title -q '.title + "\n\n" + .body'
```

### Step 2: Understand Requirements
- Parse specifications from issue
- Identify files to create
- Note any dependencies

### Step 3: Write Code
- Use Write tool for new files
- Use Edit tool for modifications
- Follow existing code patterns in repo

### Step 4: Verify
```bash
# Check file created
ls -la [new-file]

# Syntax check if applicable
```

### Step 5: Report
Comment on issue with:
- Files created
- Key implementation decisions
- Any deviations from spec

```bash
gh issue comment 73 --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
🤖 **Claude Opus** (coder): Implementation complete

## Files Created
- `path/to/file.md` - Description

## Key Decisions
- Decision 1: Why
- Decision 2: Why

## Ready for Review
EOF
)"
```

## Output Format

```

Issue: #73
Files: 2 created, 1 modified
Status: Ready for review

Commented on issue.
```

## Quality Standards

1. **Follow existing patterns** - Match repo code style
2. **No over-engineering** - Simple, focused solution
3. **Document decisions** - Explain non-obvious choices
4. **Test if possible** - Verify code works
