Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Execute all plans in a phase with wave-based parallelizationKey capabilities
- →Execute plans in parallel
- →Manage wave-based execution
- →Coordinate sub-agents
- →Verify phase completion
How it works
It orchestrates sub-agents to process plans in parallel waves.
Inputs & outputs
When to use gsd-execute-phase
- →Executing multi-task feature rollouts
- →Managing resource-intensive build phases
- →Pacing large-scale code changes
About this skill
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 Nexecutes only WaveNfor 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>

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>
Available optional flags (documentation only — not automatically active):
--wave N— Execute only WaveNin the phase. Use when you want to pace execution or stay inside usage limits.--gaps-only— Execute only gap closure plans (plans withgap_closure: truein 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 $ARGUMENTS:
--wave Nis active only if the literal--wavetoken is present in$ARGUMENTS--gaps-onlyis active only if the literal--gaps-onlytoken is present in$ARGUMENTS--interactiveis active only if the literal--interactivetoken is present in$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-sdk query init.execute-phase and per-subagent <files_to_read> blocks.
</context>
When not to use it
- →For sequential, non-parallel tasks
- →When no plans exist
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Context budget constraints
- →Requires wave execution workflow
How it compares
It provides wave-based parallelization for large-scale code changes.
