incremental-implementation
Delivers changes incrementally in thin, verifiable slices. Use when implementing any feature or change that touches more than one file, or when picking up the next task from a plan. Use when rolling a change out behind a feature flag, when you're about to write a large amount of code at once, or when a task feels too big to land in one step.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "addyosmani/agent-skills:incremental-implementation" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills /tmp/agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/agent-skills/skills/incremental-implementation ~/.claude/skills/incremental-implementationFrom README
Incremental Implementation Overview Build in thin vertical slices — implement one piece, test it, verify it, then expand. Avoid implementing an entire feature in one pass. Each increment should leave the system in a working, testable state. This is the execution discipline that makes large features manageable. When to Use Implementing any multi-file change Building a new feature from a task breakdown Refactoring existing code Any time you're tempted to write more than 100 lines before testing When NOT to use: Single-file, single-function changes where the scope is already minimal.
