-Use `/gsd:execute-plan` for interactive single-plan execution with checkpoints. Use `/gsd:execute-phase` when you have multiple plans and want parallel "walk away" automation.
+Use `/gsd:execute-phase` for parallel "walk away" automation (recommended). Use `/gsd:execute-plan` when you need interactive single-plan execution with manual checkpoints.
