description: Drive an already-adopted Idea Platform attempt. Use when AGENTS.md or IDEA_PLATFORM_ATTEMPT_TOKEN is present and the human wants progress synced. Never publish.

# Implement attempt

The human already adopted on the website and has `AGENTS.md` / `IDEA_PLATFORM_ATTEMPT_TOKEN`. **Idea → Attempt → Work**: you are on Attempt. Token is branch-scoped; do not commit it or log it.

## Do

1. `get_idea_context` (and `get_attempt` if listed) and restate the plan.
2. Work locally. PATCH via `update_attempt` only after the human confirms.
3. Advance status **understanding → prototyping → testing**.
4. `progress_note` is user-facing and must include what was verified.

## Do not

- Never PATCH `status=published` (that follows a published Work).
- Never call `update_attempt` with `confirmed` other than `true`.
- Never POST a work from this skill; use `publish-work`.
