Skill286 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub
Use when a planned round handoff exists and needs to be implemented end-to-end via the 4-commit chain (entry-admin → BA design → dev body with inline CR + SE → state refresh + self-audit). Dispatches ba-designer / developer / cr-reviewer / se-contract sequentially.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 46
Verify the handoff doc exists at handoff_path.
- Distinctive: line 52
Phase 1 — Entry-admin commit: commit handoff + state-row updates
- Distinctive: line 57
Read CLI output for result summary (per ExecuteRoundResult.summary()):
- Distinctive: line 67
ER-RETRY: no retry-with-context loops.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
execute-round
Orchestrates the 4-commit chain for an arcgentic round per spec § 4.2.3. Reads the planned
handoff (from plan-round skill or hand-authored), then executes Phase 1-4 via the
arcgentic Python CLI.
When to invoke
- User says "let's execute round R{N}" or "run the 4-commit chain for the handoff at ..."
- User runs
/execute-round <round_name>slash command - A handoff doc exists at
docs/superpowers/plans/...and dev work is ready to start
Prerequisites
Requires the arcgentic CLI:
- Stable:
pipx install arcgentic - Dev:
cd toolkit && pip install -e ".[dev]"
Requires a planned handoff doc — run /plan-round first if missing.
V1 projects must resolve the session-mode gate before implementation. If
project.session_mode.mode is already present in .agentic-rounds/state.yaml,
use it and do not ask again:
arcgentic session-mode recommend --round=$ROUND --handoff=$HANDOFF_PATH
arcgentic session-mode prompt --round=$ROUND --handoff=$HANDOFF_PATH --mode=multi-session --role=developerInputs
Parse from $ARGUMENTS:
round_name(e.g. "R10-L3-aletheia")handoff_path(defaults to most recentdocs/superpowers/plans/{date}-{round}-handoff.md)--dry-runflag (optional; skip all commits and pushes)
Workflow
When invoked:
- Verify the handoff doc exists at
handoff_path. - Shell out:
arcgentic execute-round-impl --round=$ROUND --handoff=$HANDOFF_PATH [--dry-run] - The CLI orchestrates 4 phases:
- Phase 1 — Entry-admin commit: commit handoff + state-row updates
- Phase 2 — BA design pass: dispatch ba-designer → write design doc → commit
- Phase 3 — Dev body: dispatch developer → run pre-audit quality gates (mypy / pytest / ruff) → inline CR step → inline SE step (MANDATE #20: NO BA design in SE brief) → commit
- Phase 4 — State refresh + self-audit handoff: compose self-audit handoff doc with stable artifact/fixed-anchor facts → run
arcgentic audit-check --strict-extended→ write → commit
- Read CLI output for result summary (per ExecuteRoundResult.summary()):
- 4 phase results with commit SHAs
- CR + SE findings counts
- Quality gate statuses
- Self-audit handoff path
- Report to user: 4 commit SHAs + findings counts + handoff path.
Known limitations (forward-debts)
- ER-RETRY: no retry-with-context loops; if any sub-agent dispatch fails, the run aborts. Re-invoke after fixing the failure manually.
- ER-AUDIT-FACTS-RICH: self-audit facts avoid mutable current-state / moving-HEAD assertions, but rich commit-chain / changed-file fact generation is future work.
- ER-STATE-ROW: Phase 1's CLAUDE.md state-row update is a NO-OP (project-agnostic).
See docs/tech-debt.md for the full forward-debt registry.
Failure modes
- Missing handoff doc: re-run
/plan-roundfirst. - CLI not installed: instruct user to
pipx install arcgentic. - Sub-agent dispatch failure: re-invoke after fixing (no automatic retry in v0.2.0 P0).
- Quality gate FAIL: developer output had errors; review BA design + fix dev output manually; re-invoke.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
