Gsd Execute Phase

B. User Prompting

When the workflow needs user input, prompt the user conversationally:

• Present options as a numbered list in your response text
• Ask the user to reply with their choice
• For multi-select, ask for comma-separated numbers

C. Tool Usage

Use these Augment tools when executing GSD workflows:

• launch-process for running commands (terminal operations)
• str-replace-editor for editing existing files
• view for reading files and listing directories
• save-file for creating new files
• grep for searching code (or use MCP servers for advanced search)
• web-search, web-fetch for web queries
• add_tasks, view_tasklist, update_tasks for task management

D. Subagent Spawning

When the workflow needs to spawn a subagent:

• Use the built-in subagent spawning capability
• Define agent prompts in .augment/agents/ directory

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 {{GSD_ARGS}}
• If a documented flag is absent from {{GSD_ARGS}}, treat it as inactive

Context budget: ~15% orchestrator, 100% fresh per subagent.

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 {{GSD_ARGS}}:

• --wave N is active only if the literal --wave token is present in {{GSD_ARGS}}
• --gaps-only is active only if the literal --gaps-only token is present in {{GSD_ARGS}}
• --interactive is active only if the literal --interactive token is present in {{GSD_ARGS}}
• 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.
