SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After planning a project with /rad-plan, teams need a controlled way to actually run the execution pipeline — handling fresh launches, in-place runs, and resumed sessions without manually re-deriving branches, worktrees, or settings. This Skill removes that guesswork by delegating all classification to the rad-orchestration CLI and only running the human confirmation beats it flags. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Run-mode resolution: Calls execute resolve to classify the run as launch, in-place, resume, or unknown, then acts only on the flags the CLI returns. - Guided human beats: Asks exactly the questions the resolver flags — launch flavor (Claude Code, Copilot CLI, VS Code), workspace selection, clone binding, auto-commit, and auto-PR — in a single combined prompt. - Session recording and pipeline handoff: Saves session metadata before signaling pipeline start, then continues driving the DAG through the rad-orchestration skill. - Use Case: A developer finishes planning a feature with /rad-plan, invokes /rad-execute, picks a fresh worktree workspace and Copilot CLI launch flavor, and the pipeline starts with commit and PR behavior already sealed. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /rad-execute for your planned project name and answer the confirmation questions it presents.

Frequently Asked Questions about rad-execute

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a project after running rad-plan?▼

Invoke /rad-execute with the project name. The skill runs `execute resolve` to classify the run mode, asks only the confirmation questions the CLI flags, then runs the returned commands in order to start the pipeline.

How do I resume a rad-orc project that stopped mid-execution?▼

Run /rad-execute again with the same project name. The resolver detects the settled state and returns resume mode, which skips all confirmation questions and continues the pipeline from the current pending action.

Can I choose between Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and VS Code for a launched session?▼

Yes. When the resolver flags the launch-flavor question, you pick Claude Code, Copilot CLI, or VS Code. The choice maps to a flavor value in the launch command, and the VS Code option drops the prompt argument.

What happens if a project has no worktree workspace yet?▼

The skill asks whether to create a new workspace or continue in another project's worktree. Creating one branches the project's repos from their base branches under ~/.radorc/worktrees, and provisioning happens inside execute prepare.

Why does rad-execute stop with an unknown run mode?▼

The resolver returns unknown when it cannot classify the project state, and the skill relays the reason verbatim instead of guessing. Resolve the reported issue, such as a missing project name or invalid state, then run again.
