Claude-skill-registry gsd-execute-phase

Orchestrator stays lean: discover plans, analyze dependencies, group into waves, spawn subagents, collect results. Each subagent loads the full execute-plan context and handles its own plan.

Context budget: ~15% orchestrator, 100% fresh per subagent. </objective>

<execution_context> @.github/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md @.github/get-shit-done/workflows/execute-phase.md </execution_context>

Flags:

• --gaps-only

  — Execute only gap closure plans (plans with

  gap_closure: true

  in frontmatter). Use after verify-work creates fix plans.

@.planning/ROADMAP.md @.planning/STATE.md </context>

2. Discover plans

   • List all *-PLAN.md files in phase directory
   • Check which have *-SUMMARY.md (already complete)
   • If

     --gaps-only

     : filter to only plans with

     gap_closure: true

   • Build list of incomplete plans

3. Group by wave

   • Read

     wave

     from each plan's frontmatter
   • Group plans by wave number
   • Report wave structure to user

4. Execute waves For each wave in order:

   • Spawn

     gsd-executor

     for each plan in wave (parallel Task calls)
   • Wait for completion (Task blocks)
   • Verify SUMMARYs created
   • Proceed to next wave

5. Aggregate results

   • Collect summaries from all plans
   • Report phase completion status

6. Commit any orchestrator corrections Check for uncommitted changes before verification:

   git status --porcelain
   

   If changes exist: Orchestrator made corrections between executor completions. Commit them:

   git add -u && git commit -m "fix({phase}): orchestrator corrections"
   

   If clean: Continue to verification.

7. Verify phase goal

   • Spawn

     gsd-verifier

     subagent with phase directory and goal
   • Verifier checks must_haves against actual codebase (not SUMMARY claims)
   • Creates VERIFICATION.md with detailed report
   • Route by status:

     • passed

       → continue to step 8

     • human_needed

       → present items, get approval or feedback

     • gaps_found

       → present gaps, offer

       /gsd-plan-phase {X} --gaps

8. Update roadmap and state

   • Update ROADMAP.md, STATE.md

9. Update requirements Mark phase requirements as Complete:

   • Read ROADMAP.md, find this phase's

     Requirements:

     line (e.g., "AUTH-01, AUTH-02")
   • Read REQUIREMENTS.md traceability table
   • For each REQ-ID in this phase: change Status from "Pending" to "Complete"
   • Write updated REQUIREMENTS.md
   • Skip if: REQUIREMENTS.md doesn't exist, or phase has no Requirements line

10. Commit phase completion Bundle all phase metadata updates in one commit:

    • Stage:

      git add .planning/ROADMAP.md .planning/STATE.md

    • Stage REQUIREMENTS.md if updated:

      git add .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md

    • Commit:

      docs({phase}): complete {phase-name} phase

11. Offer next steps

    • Route to next action (see

      <offer_next>

      ) </process>

<offer_next> Output this markdown directly (not as a code block). Route based on status:

gaps_found

human_needed

After user runs /gsd-plan-phase {Z} --gaps:

1. Planner reads VERIFICATION.md gaps
2. Creates plans 04, 05, etc. to close gaps
3. User runs /gsd-execute-phase {Z} again
4. Execute-phase runs incomplete plans (04, 05...)
5. Verifier runs again → loop until passed </offer_next>

<wave_execution> Parallel spawning:

Spawn all plans in a wave with a single message containing multiple Task calls:

Task(prompt="Execute plan at {plan_01_path}\n\nPlan: @{plan_01_path}\nProject state: @.planning/STATE.md", subagent_type="gsd-executor")
Task(prompt="Execute plan at {plan_02_path}\n\nPlan: @{plan_02_path}\nProject state: @.planning/STATE.md", subagent_type="gsd-executor")
Task(prompt="Execute plan at {plan_03_path}\n\nPlan: @{plan_03_path}\nProject state: @.planning/STATE.md", subagent_type="gsd-executor")

All three run in parallel. Task tool blocks until all complete.

No polling. No background agents. No TaskOutput loops. </wave_execution>

<checkpoint_handling> Plans with

autonomous: false

• Subagent pauses at checkpoint, returns structured state
• Orchestrator presents to user, collects response
• Spawns fresh continuation agent (not resume)

See

@.github/get-shit-done/workflows/execute-phase.md

checkpoint_handling

<deviation_rules> During execution, handle discoveries automatically:

1. Auto-fix bugs - Fix immediately, document in Summary
2. Auto-add critical - Security/correctness gaps, add and document
3. Auto-fix blockers - Can't proceed without fix, do it and document
4. Ask about architectural - Major structural changes, stop and ask user

Only rule 4 requires user intervention. </deviation_rules>

<commit_rules> Per-Task Commits:

After each task completes:

1. Stage only files modified by that task
2. Commit with format:

   {type}({phase}-{plan}): {task-name}

3. Types: feat, fix, test, refactor, perf, chore
4. Record commit hash for SUMMARY.md

Plan Metadata Commit:

After all tasks in a plan complete:

1. Stage plan artifacts only: PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md
2. Commit with format:

   docs({phase}-{plan}): complete [plan-name] plan

3. NO code files (already committed per-task)

Phase Completion Commit:

After all plans in phase complete (step 7):

1. Stage: ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, REQUIREMENTS.md (if updated), VERIFICATION.md
2. Commit with format:

   docs({phase}): complete {phase-name} phase

3. Bundles all phase-level state updates in one commit

NEVER use:

• git add .

• git add -A

• git add src/

  or any broad directory

Always stage files individually. </commit_rules>

• Phase goal verified (must_haves checked against codebase)
• VERIFICATION.md created in phase directory
• STATE.md reflects phase completion
