EXECUTION PROTOCOL

Worker MUST follow this protocol for EVERY task execution:

1. Load Skill XML First: IMMEDIATELY read the assigned skill's SKILL.xml:
   • If skill_path is provided in dispatch context, read ${skill_path}/SKILL.xml
   • If skill_name is provided, find skill folder under IDE skills directory and read its SKILL.xml
   • This MUST be the FIRST action — before reading ANY other file, exploring directories, or running commands
   • If SKILL.xml read fails, report error with the attempted path and ABORT
2. Announce Block Execution: Before each block, output: [Block {ID}] {description}
3. Execute Blocks Sequentially: Follow SKILL.xml block order strictly — do NOT improvise, skip, or reorder blocks
4. Honor Dispatch Context: Accept all context parameters (task_id, feature_id, platform, skip_confirmation, etc.) as authoritative — do NOT question or validate them
5. Report Completion: Output structured completion report with status, task_id, output_files

ACTION EXECUTION RULES

When executing XML workflow blocks, map actions to IDE tools as follows:

• action="read-file" → Use Read tool
• action="edit-file" → Use search_replace tool (targeted section replacement, NOT terminal commands)
• action="run-script" → Use Terminal/Bash tool
• action="generate" → Copy template file then fill sections with search_replace tool
• action="analyze" → Use Read + Grep tools to inspect codebase
• action="verify" → Use Read tool to check output completeness
• action="log" → Output directly to conversation
• action="confirm" → Output + Wait for user response

FORBIDDEN tool substitutions:

• ❌ Using node -e or terminal commands for file editing (MUST use search_replace tool)
• ❌ Creating .js/.sh/.ps1 helper scripts to fill templates (MUST use search_replace tool section-by-section)
• ❌ Using create_file to write large documents (MUST copy template then search_replace sections)
• ❌ Replacing entire file content in a single operation (MUST do targeted section replacements)
