## Description

Use when the user wants to execute a phase's plans, resume the remaining plans, or run only one wave. Discovers plans, groups them into dependency waves, spawns a fresh subagent per plan, then verifies the phase.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

<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 `$ARGUMENTS`
- If a documented flag is absent from `$ARGUMENTS`, treat it as inactive

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

**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.

<context>
Phase: $ARGUMENTS

**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.
