<cursor_skill_adapter>
## A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked when the user mentions `gsd-execute-phase` or describes a task matching this skill.
- Treat all user text after the skill mention as `{{GSD_ARGS}}`.
- If no arguments are present, treat `{{GSD_ARGS}}` as empty.

## 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 Cursor tools when executing GSD workflows:
- `Shell` for running commands (terminal operations)
- `StrReplace` for editing existing files
- `Read`, `Write`, `Glob`, `Grep`, `Task`, `WebSearch`, `WebFetch`, `TodoWrite` as needed

## D. Subagent Spawning
When the workflow needs to spawn a subagent:
- Use `Task(subagent_type="generalPurpose", ...)`
- The `model` parameter maps to Cursor's model options (e.g., "fast")
</cursor_skill_adapter>

<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 `{{GSD_ARGS}}`
- If a documented flag is absent from `{{GSD_ARGS}}`, treat it as inactive

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

**Copilot (VS Code):** Use `vscode_askquestions` wherever this workflow calls `conversational prompting`. They are equivalent — `vscode_askquestions` is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API.

<context>
Phase: {{GSD_ARGS}}

**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-tools query init.execute-phase` and per-subagent `<files_to_read>` blocks.
