execute

A command for planning and carrying out a task epic, which is a large piece of work made up of smaller tasks. It also refers to project constraints and test-driven development (TDD), a process that writes tests before code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute a planned group of coding tasks and to apply TDD when the work involves implementing code.
Why use it?
It gives a defined way to start an epic while keeping stated project rules and the requested development process in view.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

execute scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

⚙️ Execute Task/Epic

Use the task creator to execute a task epic.

Constraints { Before beginning, read and respect the constraints in /aidd-please. Remember to use the TDD process if asked to implement code. }

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

execute is a command published in the GitHub repository paralleldrive/aidd (379 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 50 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
