What it does

Execute the code in a Stencila document and save the outputs into it.

/stencila:execute

Execute the document given in $ARGUMENTS.

Use the stencila CLI path reported in session context; otherwise ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_STENCILA_PATH} if set, else stencila. If no CLI is available, point the user at /stencila:doctor and stop.

NO_COLOR=1 <stencila> execute <input> --yes
  • Execution is staleness-driven: unchanged chunks do not re-run. Add --force-all when the user wants everything re-executed.
  • When the user only wants to check the document (not update it), add --no-save so outputs are not written back.
  • --ignore-errors continues past failing chunks.

Afterwards, summarise: which chunks ran, which errored (quote the first error and locate its chunk), and whether the document was saved. See the execution skill for staleness and kernel details.
