garyld1962 Execute PRD
When to Use
Use /execute-prd <file or requirement> to plan or build a PRD, RFC, story,
or Linear issue. Use execute-plan for an existing implementation plan.
Procedure
Before the first update, read simplify, Hermes execution setup, requirements planning, and the plan format.
Resolve one source, read project instructions and discover declared commands. Audit existing code and tests, assess requirements readiness, then write the task graph with dependencies, file ownership, acceptance proof and milestone boundaries. Preserve requirement IDs and closed decisions. For a material unresolved design, compare alternatives locally using the shared planning criteria; this pilot does not require a separate design-twice skill.
Use validate-plan for structural and semantic checks; repair at most three times. If building was requested, continue with execute-plan after validation. A planning-only request ends with the plan. Existing implementation authorization is enough.
Accept one file, direct requirement, issue URL, or --linear <issue> source.
Use an available connected Linear integration; otherwise ask for the issue
content. Preserve Linear as the tracker; do not introduce a second backlog.
Fetching context does not authorize posting updates or changing issue status.
Honor --type=bug|feature|refactor|infra, --plan-path=<path>,
--parallel=auto|sequential, and --design-it-twice=auto|always|never
(alias --design-twice). Forward execution options to execute-plan;
report unsupported options instead of silently ignoring them.
Pitfalls
Do not assume greenfield, invent missing product decisions or integrations, or treat shell TTY state as proof of human presence. In unattended execution, stop with concrete missing information when a material decision is unresolved. Apply simplify to every assistant-written update through planning and execution.
Verification
The plan covers the source requirements, passes both forms of validation, and identifies remaining uncertainty. A request to build continues through implementation and evidence; a valid plan alone does not mean work is done.
