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 rolloutFlag handling rule: a flag is active only when its literal token appears in $ARGUMENTS; documented-but-absent flags are 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 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.A flag is active only if its literal token (--wave, --gaps-only, --interactive) is present in $ARGUMENTS. If none appear, run the standard full-phase execution flow with no flag-specific filtering. Do not infer a flag is active just because it is documented here.
Context files are resolved inside the workflow via gsd-sdk query init.execute-phase and per-subagent <files_to_read> blocks.

When this workflow completes, emit a Next Up continuation block following the pattern in references/continuation-format.md:
## ✓ Phase N Complete with plan/task tally)## ▶ Next Up heading with the next likely command`/clear` then: before the command/clear is safe — /gsd:resume-work restores position from HANDOFF.json if you change your mind)Phase boundaries are the highest-value places to clear context. Always suggest /clear on completion.

tools
Initialize a new project using Documentation-Driven Development. Research, then write user-facing docs (SPEC.md) as the spec, then user validates docs, then phases derive from doc sections. Best for CLIs, libraries, SDKs, APIs, plugin systems, anything with a well-defined user-facing surface.

Schedule a future resume of work - e.g. '/gsd:resume-at 09:00', '/gsd:resume-at +2h', or '/gsd:resume-at 04:00 --cmd /gsd:execute-phase 9'
