What it does

Execute Round is an agent skill from Arch1eSUN/Arcgentic. Use when a planned round handoff exists and needs to be implemented end-to-end via the 4-commit chain (entry-admin → BA design → dev body with inline CR + SE → state refresh + self-audit). Dispatches ba-designer / developer / cr-reviewer / se-contract sequentially.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: Mechanical plan/dev/self-audit/external-audit gates for AI coding agents, with a configurable role-routing topology engine, an MCP-UI live status panel, and native-tooling Claude… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing & QA work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/execute-round”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify the handoff doc exists at handoff_path.
  2. Shell out
  3. The CLI orchestrates 4 phases
  4. Read CLI output for result summary (per ExecuteRoundResult.summary())
  5. Report to user: 4 commit SHAs + findings counts + handoff path.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8539955. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pipx
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pipx and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Execute Round loads about 954 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~954

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when a planned round handoff exists and needs to be implemented end-to-end via the 4-commit chain (entry-admin → BA design → dev body with inline CR + SE → state refresh + self-audit). Dispatches ba-designer / developer / cr-reviewer / se-contract sequentially.

execute-round

Orchestrates the 4-commit chain for an arcgentic round per spec § 4.2.3. Reads the planned handoff (from plan-round skill or hand-authored), then executes Phase 1-4 via the arcgentic Python CLI.

When to invoke

  • User says "let's execute round R{N}" or "run the 4-commit chain for the handoff at ..."
  • User runs /execute-round <round_name> slash command
  • A handoff doc exists at docs/superpowers/plans/... and dev work is ready to start

Prerequisites

Requires the arcgentic CLI:

  • Stable: pipx install arcgentic
  • Dev: cd toolkit && pip install -e ".[dev]"

Requires a planned handoff doc — run /plan-round first if missing.

V1 projects must resolve the session-mode gate before implementation. If project.session_mode.mode is already present in .agentic-rounds/state.yaml, use it and do not ask again:

bash
arcgentic session-mode recommend --round=$ROUND --handoff=$HANDOFF_PATH
arcgentic session-mode prompt --round=$ROUND --handoff=$HANDOFF_PATH --mode=multi-session --role=developer

Inputs

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

  • round_name (e.g. "R10-L3-aletheia")
  • handoff_path (defaults to most recent docs/superpowers/plans/{date}-{round}-handoff.md)
  • --dry-run flag (optional; skip all commits and pushes)

Workflow

When invoked:

  1. Verify the handoff doc exists at handoff_path.

  2. Shell out:

    arcgentic execute-round-impl --round=$ROUND --handoff=$HANDOFF_PATH [--dry-run]
  3. The CLI orchestrates 4 phases:

    • Phase 1 — Entry-admin commit: commit handoff + state-row updates
    • Phase 2 — BA design pass: dispatch ba-designer → write design doc → commit
    • Phase 3 — Dev body: dispatch developer → run pre-audit quality gates (mypy / pytest / ruff) → inline CR step → inline SE step (MANDATE #20: NO BA design in SE brief) → commit
    • Phase 4 — State refresh + self-audit handoff: compose self-audit handoff doc with stable artifact/fixed-anchor facts → run arcgentic audit-check --strict-extended → write → commit
  4. Read CLI output for result summary (per ExecuteRoundResult.summary()):

    • 4 phase results with commit SHAs
    • CR + SE findings counts
    • Quality gate statuses
    • Self-audit handoff path
  5. Report to user: 4 commit SHAs + findings counts + handoff path.

Known limitations (forward-debts)

  • ER-RETRY: no retry-with-context loops; if any sub-agent dispatch fails, the run aborts. Re-invoke after fixing the failure manually.
  • ER-AUDIT-FACTS-RICH: self-audit facts avoid mutable current-state / moving-HEAD assertions, but rich commit-chain / changed-file fact generation is future work.
  • ER-STATE-ROW: Phase 1's CLAUDE.md state-row update is a NO-OP (project-agnostic).

See docs/tech-debt.md for the full forward-debt registry.

Failure modes

  • Missing handoff doc: re-run /plan-round first.
  • CLI not installed: instruct user to pipx install arcgentic.
  • Sub-agent dispatch failure: re-invoke after fixing (no automatic retry in v0.2.0 P0).
  • Quality gate FAIL: developer output had errors; review BA design + fix dev output manually; re-invoke.
