+## Process
+
+1. Analyse specification file to extract all requirements
+2. Check codebase implementation status for each requirement
+3. Search existing issues using `search_issues` to avoid duplicates
+4. Create a new issue per unimplemented requirement using `issue_write`

+- Description: Detailed requirement, implementation method, and context
+- Labels: feature, enhancement (as appropriate)

+## Implementation Check
+
