What it does

The skill covers the execution phase of a task managed by agtx. It reads the approved plan from .agtx/plan.md when that file exists, and otherwise fetches the task description through the agtx MCP get_task call using the task ID given as the argument. It then implements the changes, runs the relevant tests, fixes what they reveal, and commits all work with a short imperative message, checking that git status is clean because the worktree is deleted when the task completes.

When the work is done it writes .agtx/execute.md with a Changes section listing the files touched and what changed, and a Testing section describing how the work was verified. After that it stops: no new work beyond the plan, a fixed completion message, then it waits for instructions. Status updates are kept terse, one line each.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing a plan that was already approved in an agtx task
  • Finishing a task in an agtx worktree with tests and a commit
  • Producing an execution summary file for handoff to review

Example prompts

  • “Run the execution phase for the agtx task I just approved.”
  • “Implement what is in .agtx/plan.md, run the tests and write the summary to .agtx/execute.md.”
  • “Execute the plan, commit your work and stop once the summary is written.”

Requirements

  • An agtx-managed task with .agtx/plan.md or access to the agtx MCP server
  • Git

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read .agtx/plan.md if it exists (skip get_task), otherwise fetch via get_task
  2. Implement the changes
  3. Run relevant tests to verify your changes
  4. Fix any issues found during testing
  5. Commit. git add -A, commit with a short imperative message, verify git status --short clean. Your worktree is deleted at task completion…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ae6868. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

agtx Execute Phase loads about 439 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~439

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.

name
agtx-execute
description
Execute an approved implementation plan. Implement the changes, then write a summary to .agtx/execute.md and stop.

Execution Phase

You are in the execution phase of an agtx-managed task.

Input

The argument to this command is a task ID.

If .agtx/plan.md exists in the current working directory, read it — it already contains the approved plan and all needed context. Do NOT call get_task.

If .agtx/plan.md does not exist, fetch the task description:

mcp__agtx__get_task(task_id: "<the id passed to this command>")

Instructions

  1. Read .agtx/plan.md if it exists (skip get_task), otherwise fetch via get_task
  2. Implement the changes
  3. Run relevant tests to verify your changes
  4. Fix any issues found during testing
  5. Commit. git add -A, commit with a short imperative message, verify git status --short clean. Your worktree is deleted at task completion — uncommitted work is destroyed and the merge is blocked. agtx's own files are already git-excluded, so add -A takes only your work.

Output

When implementation is complete, write a summary to .agtx/execute.md in the current working directory with these sections:

Changes

What files were modified/created and what was changed in each.

Testing

How you verified the changes — tests run, results, manual checks.

CRITICAL: Stop After Writing

After writing .agtx/execute.md (in the current working directory):

  • Do NOT start new work beyond the plan
  • Say: "Implementation complete. Summary written to .agtx/execute.md."
  • Wait for further instructions

Output Style

Terse. No pleasantries. Fragments OK. Short synonyms. Code exact. Status updates: one line. Pattern: [what] [why]. Done.
