How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

<objective> Execute all plans in a phase using wave-based parallel execution.

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.

Optional wave filter:

  • `--wave N` executes only Wave `N` for pacing, quota management, or staged rollout
  • phase verification/completion still only happens when no incomplete plans remain after the selected wave finishes

Flag handling rule:

  • The optional flags documented below are available behaviors, not implied active behaviors
  • A flag is active only when its literal token appears in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • If a documented flag is absent from `$ARGUMENTS`, treat it as inactive

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

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

<runtime_note> **Copilot (VS Code):** Use `vscode_askquestions` wherever this workflow calls `AskUserQuestion`. They are equivalent — `vscode_askquestions` is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. </runtime_note>

<context> Phase: $ARGUMENTS

**Available optional flags (documentation only — not automatically active):**

  • `--wave N` — Execute only Wave `N` in the phase. Use when you want to pace execution or stay inside usage limits.
  • `--gaps-only` — Execute only gap closure plans (plans with `gap_closure: true` in frontmatter). Use after verify-work creates fix plans.
  • `--interactive` — Execute plans sequentially inline (no subagents) with user checkpoints between tasks. Lower token usage, pair-programming style. Best for small phases, bug fixes, and verification gaps.

**Active flags must be derived from `$ARGUMENTS`:**

  • `--wave N` is active only if the literal `--wave` token is present in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • `--gaps-only` is active only if the literal `--gaps-only` token is present in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • `--interactive` is active only if the literal `--interactive` token is present in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • If none of these tokens appear, run the standard full-phase execution flow with no flag-specific filtering
  • Do not infer that a flag is active just because it is documented in this prompt

Context files are resolved inside the workflow via `gsd-tools init execute-phase` and per-subagent `<files_to_read>` blocks. </context>

<process> Execute the execute-phase workflow from @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/execute-phase.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (wave execution, checkpoint handling, verification, state updates, routing). </process>
