Workflow Lite-Execute Command (/workflow:lite-execute)
Overview
Flexible task execution command supporting three input modes: in-memory plan (from lite-plan), direct prompt description, or file content. Handles execution orchestration, progress tracking, and optional code review.
Core capabilities:
- Multi-mode input (in-memory plan, prompt description, or file path)
- Execution orchestration (Agent or Codex) with full context
- Live progress tracking via TodoWrite at execution call level
- Optional code review with selected tool (Gemini, Agent, or custom)
- Context continuity across multiple executions
- Intelligent format detection (Enhanced Task JSON vs plain text)
Usage
Command Syntax
/workflow:lite-execute [FLAGS] <INPUT>
# Flags
--in-memory Use plan from memory (called by lite-plan)
# Arguments
<input> Task description string, or path to file (required)
Input Modes
Mode 1: In-Memory Plan
Trigger: Called by lite-plan after Phase 4 approval with --in-memory flag
Input Source: executionContext global variable set by lite-plan
Content: Complete execution context (see Data Structures section)
Behavior:
- Skip execution method selection (already set by lite-plan)
- Directly proceed to execution with full context
- All planning artifacts available (exploration, clarifications, plan)
Mode 2: Prompt Description
Trigger: User calls with task description string
Input: Simple task description (e.g., "Add unit tests for auth module")
Behavior:
- Store prompt as
originalUserInput - Create simple execution plan from prompt
- AskUserQuestion: Select execution method (Agent/Codex/Auto)
- AskUserQuestion: Select code review tool (Skip/Gemini/Agent/Other)
- Proceed to execution with
originalUserInputincluded
User Interaction:
AskUserQuestion({
questions: [
{
question: "Select execution method:",
header: "Execution",
multiSelect: false,
options: [
{ label: "Agent", description: "@code-developer agent" },
{ label: "Codex", description: "codex CLI tool" },
{ label: "Auto", description: "Auto-select based on complexity" }
]
},
{
question: "Enable code review after execution?",
header: "Code Review",
multiSelect: false,
options: [
{ label: "Skip", description: "No review" },
{ label: "Gemini Review", description: "Gemini CLI tool" },
{ label: "Agent Review", description: "Current agent review" }
]
}
]
})
Mode 3: File Content
Trigger: User calls with file path
Input: Path to file containing task description or plan.json
Step 1: Read and Detect Format
fileContent = Read(filePath)
// Attempt JSON parsing
try {
jsonData = JSON.parse(fileContent)
// Check if plan.json from lite-plan session
if (jsonData.summary && jsonData.approach && jsonData.tasks) {
planObject = jsonData
originalUserInput = jsonData.summary
isPlanJson = true
} else {
// Valid JSON but not plan.json - treat as plain text
originalUserInput = fileContent
isPlanJson = false
}
} catch {
// Not valid JSON - treat as plain text prompt
originalUserInput = fileContent
isPlanJson = false
}
Step 2: Create Execution Plan
If isPlanJson === true:
- Use
planObjectdirectly - User selects execution method and code review
If isPlanJson === false:
- Treat file content as prompt (same behavior as Mode 2)
- Create simple execution plan from content
Step 3: User Interaction
- AskUserQuestion: Select execution method (Agent/Codex/Auto)
- AskUserQuestion: Select code review tool
- Proceed to execution with full context
Execution Process
Input Parsing:
└─ Decision (mode detection):
├─ --in-memory flag → Mode 1: Load executionContext → Skip user selection
├─ Ends with .md/.json/.txt → Mode 3: Read file → Detect format
│ ├─ Valid plan.json → Use planObject → User selects method + review
│ └─ Not plan.json → Treat as prompt → User selects method + review
└─ Other → Mode 2: Prompt description → User selects method + review
Execution:
├─ Step 1: Initialize result tracking (previousExecutionResults = [])
├─ Step 2: Task grouping & batch creation
│ ├─ Extract explicit depends_on (no file/keyword inference)
│ ├─ Group: independent tasks → single parallel batch (maximize utilization)
│ ├─ Group: dependent tasks → sequential phases (respect dependencies)
│ └─ Create TodoWrite list for batches
├─ Step 3: Launch execution
│ ├─ Phase 1: All independent tasks (⚡ single batch, concurrent)
│ └─ Phase 2+: Dependent tasks by dependency order
├─ Step 4: Track progress (TodoWrite updates per batch)
└─ Step 5: Code review (if codeReviewTool ≠ "Skip")
Output:
└─ Execution complete with results in previousExecutionResults[]
Detailed Execution Steps
Step 1: Initialize Execution Tracking
Operations:
- Initialize result tracking for multi-execution scenarios
- Set up
previousExecutionResultsarray for context continuity
// Initialize result tracking
previousExecutionResults = []
Step 2: Task Grouping & Batch Creation
Dependency Analysis & Grouping Algorithm:
// Use explicit depends_on from plan.json (no inference from file/keywords)
function extractDependencies(tasks) {
const taskIdToIndex = {}
tasks.forEach((t, i) => { taskIdToIndex[t.id] = i })
return tasks.map((task, i) => {
// Only use explicit depends_on from plan.json
const deps = (task.depends_on || [])
.map(depId => taskIdToIndex[depId])
.filter(idx => idx !== undefined && idx < i)
return { ...task, taskIndex: i, dependencies: deps }
})
}
// Group into batches: maximize parallel execution
function createExecutionCalls(tasks, executionMethod) {
const tasksWithDeps = extractDependencies(tasks)
const processed = new Set()
const calls = []
// Phase 1: All independent tasks → single parallel batch (maximize utilization)
const independentTasks = tasksWithDeps.filter(t => t.dependencies.length === 0)
if (independentTasks.length > 0) {
independentTasks.forEach(t => processed.add(t.taskIndex))
calls.push({
method: executionMethod,
executionType: "parallel",
groupId: "P1",
taskSummary: independentTasks.map(t => t.title).join(' | '),
tasks: independentTasks
})
}
// Phase 2: Dependent tasks → sequential batches (respect dependencies)
let sequentialIndex = 1
let remaining = tasksWithDeps.filter(t => !processed.has(t.taskIndex))
while (remaining.length > 0) {
// Find tasks whose dependencies are all satisfied
const ready = remaining.filter(t =>
t.dependencies.every(d => processed.has(d))
)
if (ready.length === 0) {
console.warn('Circular dependency detected, forcing remaining tasks')
ready.push(...remaining)
}
// Group ready tasks (can run in parallel within this phase)
ready.forEach(t => processed.add(t.taskIndex))
calls.push({
method: executionMethod,
executionType: ready.length > 1 ? "parallel" : "sequential",
groupId: ready.length > 1 ? `P${calls.length + 1}` : `S${sequentialIndex++}`,
taskSummary: ready.map(t => t.title).join(ready.length > 1 ? ' | ' : ' → '),
tasks: ready
})
remaining = remaining.filter(t => !processed.has(t.taskIndex))
}
return calls
}
executionCalls = createExecutionCalls(planObject.tasks, executionMethod).map(c => ({ ...c, id: `[${c.groupId}]` }))
TodoWrite({
todos: executionCalls.map(c => ({
content: `${c.executionType === "parallel" ? "⚡" : "→"} ${c.id} (${c.tasks.length} tasks)`,
status: "pending",
activeForm: `Executing ${c.id}`
}))
})
Step 3: Launch Execution
Executor Resolution (任务级 executor 优先于全局设置):
// 获取任务的 executor(优先使用 executorAssignments,fallback 到全局 executionMethod)
function getTaskExecutor(task) {
const assignments = executionContext?.executorAssignments || {}
if (assignments[task.id]) {
return assignments[task.id].executor // 'gemini' | 'codex' | 'agent'
}
// Fallback: 全局 executionMethod 映射
const method = executionContext?.executionMethod || 'Auto'
if (method === 'Agent') return 'agent'
if (method === 'Codex') return 'codex'
// Auto: 根据复杂度
return planObject.complexity === 'Low' ? 'agent' : 'codex'
}
// 按 executor 分组任务
function groupTasksByExecutor(tasks) {
const groups = { gemini: [], codex: [], agent: [] }
tasks.forEach(task => {
const executor = getTaskExecutor(task)
groups[executor].push(task)
})
return groups
}
Execution Flow: Parallel batches concurrently → Sequential batches in order
const parallel = executionCalls.filter(c => c.executionType === "parallel")
const sequential = executionCalls.filter(c => c.executionType === "sequential")
// Phase 1: Launch all parallel batches (single message with multiple tool calls)
if (parallel.length > 0) {
TodoWrite({ todos: executionCalls.map(c => ({ status: c.executionType === "parallel" ? "in_progress" : "pending" })) })
parallelResults = await Promise.all(parallel.map(c => executeBatch(c)))
previousExecutionResults.push(...parallelResults)
TodoWrite({ todos: executionCalls.map(c => ({ status: parallel.includes(c) ? "completed" : "pending" })) })
}
// Phase 2: Execute sequential batches one by one
for (const call of sequential) {
TodoWrite({ todos: executionCalls.map(c => ({ status: c === call ? "in_progress" : "..." })) })
result = await executeBatch(call)
previousExecutionResults.push(result)
TodoWrite({ todos: executionCalls.map(c => ({ status: "completed" or "pending" })) })
}
Unified Task Prompt Builder
Task Formatting Principle: Each task is a self-contained checklist. The executor only needs to know what THIS task requires. Same template for Agent and CLI.
function buildExecutionPrompt(batch) {
// Task template (4 parts: Modification Points → How → Reference → Done)
const formatTask = (t) => `
## ${t.title}
**Scope**: \`${t.scope}\` | **Action**: ${t.action}
### Modification Points
${t.modification_points.map(p => `- **${p.file}** → \`${p.target}\`: ${p.change}`).join('\n')}
### How to do it
${t.description}
${t.implementation.map(step => `- ${step}`).join('\n')}
### Reference
- Pattern: ${t.reference?.pattern || 'N/A'}
- Files: ${t.reference?.files?.join(', ') || 'N/A'}
${t.reference?.examples ? `- Notes: ${t.reference.examples}` : ''}
### Done when
${t.acceptance.map(c => `- [ ] ${c}`).join('\n')}`
// Build prompt
const sections = []
if (originalUserInput) sections.push(`## Goal\n${originalUserInput}`)
sections.push(`## Tasks\n${batch.tasks.map(formatTask).join('\n\n---\n')}`)
// Context (reference only)
const context = []
if (previousExecutionResults.length > 0) {
context.push(`### Previous Work\n${previousExecutionResults.map(r => `- ${r.tasksSummary}: ${r.status}`).join('\n')}`)
}
if (clarificationContext) {
context.push(`### Clarifications\n${Object.entries(clarificationContext).map(([q, a]) => `- ${q}: ${a}`).join('\n')}`)
}
if (executionContext?.session?.artifacts?.plan) {
context.push(`### Artifacts\nPlan: ${executionContext.session.artifacts.plan}`)
}
if (context.length > 0) sections.push(`## Context\n${context.join('\n\n')}`)
sections.push(`Complete each task according to its "Done when" checklist.`)
return sections.join('\n\n')
}
Option A: Agent Execution
When to use:
getTaskExecutor(task) === "agent"- 或
executionMethod = "Agent"(全局 fallback) - 或
executionMethod = "Auto" AND complexity = "Low"(全局 fallback)
Task(
subagent_type="code-developer",
run_in_background=false,
description=batch.taskSummary,
prompt=buildExecutionPrompt(batch)
)
Result Collection: After completion, collect result following executionResult structure (see Data Structures section)
Option B: CLI Execution (Codex)
When to use:
getTaskExecutor(task) === "codex"- 或
executionMethod = "Codex"(全局 fallback) - 或
executionMethod = "Auto" AND complexity = "Medium/High"(全局 fallback)
ccw cli -p "${buildExecutionPrompt(batch)}" --tool codex --mode write
Execution with fixed IDs (predictable ID pattern):
// Launch CLI in foreground (NOT background)
// Timeout based on complexity: Low=40min, Medium=60min, High=100min
const timeoutByComplexity = {
"Low": 2400000, // 40 minutes
"Medium": 3600000, // 60 minutes
"High": 6000000 // 100 minutes
}
// Generate fixed execution ID: ${sessionId}-${groupId}
// This enables predictable ID lookup without relying on resume context chains
const sessionId = executionContext?.session?.id || 'standalone'
const fixedExecutionId = `${sessionId}-${batch.groupId}` // e.g., "implement-auth-2025-12-13-P1"
// Check if resuming from previous failed execution
const previousCliId = batch.resumeFromCliId || null
// Build command with fixed ID (and optional resume for continuation)
const cli_command = previousCliId
? `ccw cli -p "${buildExecutionPrompt(batch)}" --tool codex --mode write --id ${fixedExecutionId} --resume ${previousCliId}`
: `ccw cli -p "${buildExecutionPrompt(batch)}" --tool codex --mode write --id ${fixedExecutionId}`
bash_result = Bash(
command=cli_command,
timeout=timeoutByComplexity[planObject.complexity] || 3600000
)
// Execution ID is now predictable: ${fixedExecutionId}
// Can also extract from output: "ID: implement-auth-2025-12-13-P1"
const cliExecutionId = fixedExecutionId
// Update TodoWrite when execution completes
Resume on Failure (with fixed ID):
// If execution failed or timed out, offer resume option
if (bash_result.status === 'failed' || bash_result.status === 'timeout') {
console.log(`
⚠️ Execution incomplete. Resume available:
Fixed ID: ${fixedExecutionId}
Lookup: ccw cli detail ${fixedExecutionId}
Resume: ccw cli -p "Continue tasks" --resume ${fixedExecutionId} --tool codex --mode write --id ${fixedExecutionId}-retry
`)
// Store for potential retry in same session
batch.resumeFromCliId = fixedExecutionId
}
Result Collection: After completion, analyze output and collect result following executionResult structure (include cliExecutionId for resume capability)
Option C: CLI Execution (Gemini)
When to use: getTaskExecutor(task) === "gemini" (分析类任务)
# 使用统一的 buildExecutionPrompt,切换 tool 和 mode
ccw cli -p "${buildExecutionPrompt(batch)}" --tool gemini --mode analysis --id ${sessionId}-${batch.groupId}
Step 4: Progress Tracking
Progress tracked at batch level (not individual task level). Icons: ⚡ (parallel, concurrent), → (sequential, one-by-one)
Step 5: Code Review (Optional)
Skip Condition: Only run if codeReviewTool ≠ "Skip"
Review Focus: Verify implementation against plan acceptance criteria
- Read plan.json for task acceptance criteria
- Check each acceptance criterion is fulfilled
- Validate code quality and identify issues
- Ensure alignment with planned approach
Operations:
- Agent Review: Current agent performs direct review
- Gemini Review: Execute gemini CLI with review prompt
- Custom tool: Execute specified CLI tool (qwen, codex, etc.)
Unified Review Template (All tools use same standard):
Review Criteria:
- Acceptance Criteria: Verify each criterion from plan.tasks[].acceptance
- Code Quality: Analyze quality, identify issues, suggest improvements
- Plan Alignment: Validate implementation matches planned approach
Shared Prompt Template (used by all CLI tools):
PURPOSE: Code review for implemented changes against plan acceptance criteria
TASK: • Verify plan acceptance criteria fulfillment • Analyze code quality • Identify issues • Suggest improvements • Validate plan adherence
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @**/* @{plan.json} [@{exploration.json}] | Memory: Review lite-execute changes against plan requirements
EXPECTED: Quality assessment with acceptance criteria verification, issue identification, and recommendations. Explicitly check each acceptance criterion from plan.json tasks.
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/workflows/cli-templates/prompts/analysis/02-review-code-quality.txt) | Focus on plan acceptance criteria and plan adherence | analysis=READ-ONLY
Tool-Specific Execution (Apply shared prompt template above):
# Method 1: Agent Review (current agent)
# - Read plan.json: ${executionContext.session.artifacts.plan}
# - Apply unified review criteria (see Shared Prompt Template)
# - Report findings directly
# Method 2: Gemini Review (recommended)
ccw cli -p "[Shared Prompt Template with artifacts]" --tool gemini --mode analysis
# CONTEXT includes: @**/* @${plan.json} [@${exploration.json}]
# Method 3: Qwen Review (alternative)
ccw cli -p "[Shared Prompt Template with artifacts]" --tool qwen --mode analysis
# Same prompt as Gemini, different execution engine
# Method 4: Codex Review (autonomous)
ccw cli -p "[Verify plan acceptance criteria at ${plan.json}]" --tool codex --mode write
Multi-Round Review with Fixed IDs:
// Generate fixed review ID
const reviewId = `${sessionId}-review`
// First review pass with fixed ID
const reviewResult = Bash(`ccw cli -p "[Review prompt]" --tool gemini --mode analysis --id ${reviewId}`)
// If issues found, continue review dialog with fixed ID chain
if (hasUnresolvedIssues(reviewResult)) {
// Resume with follow-up questions
Bash(`ccw cli -p "Clarify the security concerns you mentioned" --resume ${reviewId} --tool gemini --mode analysis --id ${reviewId}-followup`)
}
Implementation Note: Replace [Shared Prompt Template with artifacts] placeholder with actual template content, substituting:
@{plan.json}→@${executionContext.session.artifacts.plan}[@{exploration.json}]→ exploration files from artifacts (if exists)
Step 6: Update Development Index
Trigger: After all executions complete (regardless of code review)
Skip Condition: Skip if .workflow/project.json does not exist
Operations:
const projectJsonPath = '.workflow/project.json'
if (!fileExists(projectJsonPath)) return // Silent skip
const projectJson = JSON.parse(Read(projectJsonPath))
// Initialize if needed
if (!projectJson.development_index) {
projectJson.development_index = { feature: [], enhancement: [], bugfix: [], refactor: [], docs: [] }
}
// Detect category from keywords
function detectCategory(text) {
text = text.toLowerCase()
if (/\b(fix|bug|error|issue|crash)\b/.test(text)) return 'bugfix'
if (/\b(refactor|cleanup|reorganize)\b/.test(text)) return 'refactor'
if (/\b(doc|readme|comment)\b/.test(text)) return 'docs'
if (/\b(add|new|create|implement)\b/.test(text)) return 'feature'
return 'enhancement'
}
// Detect sub_feature from task file paths
function detectSubFeature(tasks) {
const dirs = tasks.map(t => t.file?.split('/').slice(-2, -1)[0]).filter(Boolean)
const counts = dirs.reduce((a, d) => { a[d] = (a[d] || 0) + 1; return a }, {})
return Object.entries(counts).sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])[0]?.[0] || 'general'
}
const category = detectCategory(`${planObject.summary} ${planObject.approach}`)
const entry = {
title: planObject.summary.slice(0, 60),
sub_feature: detectSubFeature(planObject.tasks),
date: new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0],
description: planObject.approach.slice(0, 100),
status: previousExecutionResults.every(r => r.status === 'completed') ? 'completed' : 'partial',
session_id: executionContext?.session?.id || null
}
projectJson.development_index[category].push(entry)
projectJson.statistics.last_updated = new Date().toISOString()
Write(projectJsonPath, JSON.stringify(projectJson, null, 2))
console.log(`✓ Development index: [${category}] ${entry.title}`)
Best Practices
Input Modes: In-memory (lite-plan), prompt (standalone), file (JSON/text) Task Grouping: Based on explicit depends_on only; independent tasks run in single parallel batch Execution: All independent tasks launch concurrently via single Claude message with multiple tool calls
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing executionContext | --in-memory without context | Error: "No execution context found. Only available when called by lite-plan." |
| File not found | File path doesn't exist | Error: "File not found: {path}. Check file path." |
| Empty file | File exists but no content | Error: "File is empty: {path}. Provide task description." |
| Invalid Enhanced Task JSON | JSON missing required fields | Warning: "Missing required fields. Treating as plain text." |
| Malformed JSON | JSON parsing fails | Treat as plain text (expected for non-JSON files) |
| Execution failure | Agent/Codex crashes | Display error, use fixed ID ${sessionId}-${groupId} for resume: ccw cli -p "Continue" --resume <fixed-id> --id <fixed-id>-retry |
| Execution timeout | CLI exceeded timeout | Use fixed ID for resume with extended timeout |
| Codex unavailable | Codex not installed | Show installation instructions, offer Agent execution |
| Fixed ID not found | Custom ID lookup failed | Check ccw cli history, verify date directories |
Data Structures
executionContext (Input - Mode 1)
Passed from lite-plan via global variable:
{
planObject: {
summary: string,
approach: string,
tasks: [...],
estimated_time: string,
recommended_execution: string,
complexity: string
},
explorationsContext: {...} | null, // Multi-angle explorations
explorationAngles: string[], // List of exploration angles
explorationManifest: {...} | null, // Exploration manifest
clarificationContext: {...} | null,
executionMethod: "Agent" | "Codex" | "Auto", // 全局默认
codeReviewTool: "Skip" | "Gemini Review" | "Agent Review" | string,
originalUserInput: string,
// 任务级 executor 分配(优先于 executionMethod)
executorAssignments: {
[taskId]: { executor: "gemini" | "codex" | "agent", reason: string }
},
// Session artifacts location (saved by lite-plan)
session: {
id: string, // Session identifier: {taskSlug}-{shortTimestamp}
folder: string, // Session folder path: .workflow/.lite-plan/{session-id}
artifacts: {
explorations: [{angle, path}], // exploration-{angle}.json paths
explorations_manifest: string, // explorations-manifest.json path
plan: string // plan.json path (always present)
}
}
}
Artifact Usage:
- Artifact files contain detailed planning context
- Pass artifact paths to CLI tools and agents for enhanced context
- See execution options below for usage examples
executionResult (Output)
Collected after each execution call completes:
{
executionId: string, // e.g., "[Agent-1]", "[Codex-1]"
status: "completed" | "partial" | "failed",
tasksSummary: string, // Brief description of tasks handled
completionSummary: string, // What was completed
keyOutputs: string, // Files created/modified, key changes
notes: string, // Important context for next execution
fixedCliId: string | null // Fixed CLI execution ID (e.g., "implement-auth-2025-12-13-P1")
}
Appended to previousExecutionResults array for context continuity in multi-execution scenarios.
Post-Completion Expansion
完成后询问用户是否扩展为issue(test/enhance/refactor/doc),选中项调用 /issue:new "{summary} - {dimension}"
Fixed ID Pattern: ${sessionId}-${groupId} enables predictable lookup without auto-generated timestamps.
Resume Usage: If status is "partial" or "failed", use fixedCliId to resume:
# Lookup previous execution
ccw cli detail ${fixedCliId}
# Resume with new fixed ID for retry
ccw cli -p "Continue from where we left off" --resume ${fixedCliId} --tool codex --mode write --id ${fixedCliId}-retry
