Implementation methodology for executing tasks. An agent skill from poteto/noodle.

  • Works in 6 steps: Scope → Decompose → Implement → …
  • Tasks that involve Git worktrees
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Scope, 2. Decompose, 3. Implement and 4. Verify, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Execute is an agent skill from poteto/noodle. Implementation methodology for executing tasks. Handles scoping, decomposition, worktree workflow, verification, and commit conventions. Triggers: "execute", "implement", "build this", "code this".

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/team-execution.md` and `references/verification.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees and Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: Orchestrate agents using skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git worktrees
  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “execute”
  • “implement”
  • “build this”
  • “/execute”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Scope
  2. Decompose
  3. Implement
  4. Verify
  5. Commit
  6. Yield

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82d2921. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 loads about 989 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~989
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Execute

Implementation methodology. Loads alongside the domain skill (e.g., "noodle") — this teaches process, the domain skill teaches the codebase. Operate fully autonomously. Never ask the user. Don't stop until the work is fully complete.

Track all work with Tasks (TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList). One task per decomposed change; mark in_progress when starting, completed when done.

1. Scope

Establish what needs doing:

  • Plan phase: Read the assigned phase from brain/plans/. Read the overview for scope boundaries. Invoke Skill(backlog) for project-specific context. Load domain skills listed in "Applicable skills."
  • Backlog item: Read the todo from brain/todos.md. If a linked plan exists, read it. Otherwise, scope from the description.
  • Ad-hoc request: The user prompt is the scope. Identify affected files and packages before starting.

Output: a clear, bounded description of what changes and what doesn't.

2. Decompose

Break scope into discrete changes. Each change:

  • One function/type + its tests, OR one bug fix
  • Independently compilable
  • One conventional commit

Single-change scopes skip decomposition.

3. Implement

Worktree First — Non-Negotiable

Never edit files on main. Multiple sessions run concurrently; editing main causes merge conflicts and lost work.

If CWD is already inside .worktrees/, use it. Otherwise: noodle worktree create <descriptive-name>

Use absolute paths or noodle worktree exec <name> <cmd>. Never cd into a worktree — if it gets removed while the shell is inside, the session dies permanently.

Commit inside the worktree. When done: noodle worktree merge <name>

Skip only when the user is interactively driving a single-agent session and explicitly chooses main.

Delegation
  • Self-execute: Single change, or tightly coupled changes (shared types, sequential dependencies).
  • Sub-agents: 2+ independent changes touching different files. Front-load context: scope, relevant code, domain skill name.
  • Team execution: 2+ parallelizable phases in a plan. See references/team-execution.md.
  • Codex: Mechanical work not requiring judgment (renames, boilerplate, repetitive edits). Never for architectural decisions.

Sequential is fine when phases are tightly coupled. Before parallelizing, ask: "Does any phase's output become another phase's input?" Phases with shared type-level contracts must be sequential.

4. Verify

Run the full verification suite before committing. See references/verification.md for the complete checklist. Never commit failing code — fix and re-verify on failure.

5. Commit

<type>(<scope>): <description> with optional Refs: #<issue-ID> footer. Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore. One commit per logical change.

6. Yield

After all changes are committed and verified, emit stage_yield:

bash
noodle event emit --session $NOODLE_SESSION_ID stage_yield --payload '{"message": "Implemented: <brief summary>"}'

Without this, the stage only completes on clean process exit — interrupted work is lost to the pipeline.

Scope Discipline

  • Only change what's in scope. No defensive code, backwards-compat shims, or speculative features.
  • Out-of-scope discoveries go in the quality review notes — don't change them.
  • Wrong or incomplete plan/requirements: flag it in output, don't silently deviate.

Can I use Execute in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add poteto/noodle --skill execute -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/execute, .gemini/skills/execute, .github/skills/execute and .opencode/skills/execute in your project.

What does Execute need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Execute is instructions for the agent only.

Does Execute access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Execute safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
