Tom Boucher 27e9bad203 feat: interactive executor mode for pair-programming style execution (#963) (#1136)
Adds --interactive flag to /gsd:execute-phase that changes execution from
autonomous subagent delegation to sequential inline execution with user
checkpoints between tasks.

Interactive mode:
- Executes plans sequentially inline (no subagent spawning)
- Presents each plan to user: Execute, Review first, Skip, Stop
- Pauses after each task for user intervention
- Dramatically lower token usage (no subagent overhead)
- Maintains full GSD planning/tracking structure

Changes:
- execute-phase.md: new check_interactive_mode step with full interactive flow
- execute-phase command: documented --interactive flag in argument-hint and context

Use cases:
- Small phases (1-3 plans, no complex dependencies)
- Bug fixes and verification gap closure
- Learning GSD workflow
- When user wants to pair-program with Claude under GSD structure

Fixes #963

Execute all plans in a phase using wave-based parallel execution.

Orchestrator stays lean: discover plans, analyze dependencies, group into waves, spawn subagents, collect results. Each subagent loads the full execute-plan context and handles its own plan.

Context budget: ~15% orchestrator, 100% fresh per subagent.

Phase: $ARGUMENTS

Flags:

  • --gaps-only — Execute only gap closure plans (plans with gap_closure: true in frontmatter). Use after verify-work creates fix plans.
  • --interactive — Execute plans sequentially inline (no subagents) with user checkpoints between tasks. Lower token usage, pair-programming style. Best for small phases, bug fixes, and verification gaps.

Context files are resolved inside the workflow via gsd-tools init execute-phase and per-subagent <files_to_read> blocks.

Execute the execute-phase workflow from @~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/execute-phase.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (wave execution, checkpoint handling, verification, state updates, routing).
