execute-build

execute-build is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from martian56/claude-engineer. It costs 47 tokens per session (633 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for carrying out an approved software project plan from start to finish. It coordinates implementation, review, testing, and verification across stages such as setup, frontend, backend, integration, and release quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a project plan has been approved to implement tasks, delegate independent work, run tests, review changes, integrate components, and complete quality or continuous-integration work.
Why use it?
It keeps coding work tied to an agreed plan and records progress before each task. It also helps stop when a real blocker prevents safe completion.

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-build 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 4d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Execute Build

Announce at start: "I'm using claude-engineer:execute-build to drive the autonomous build."

Iron Law

Only run after the user signed off on the plan (claude-engineer:plan-project). If there is no signed-off plan in docs/plan/, stop and go back.

The drive loop

  1. Read state first (.claude-engineer/memory.md, progress.md, current-phase.txt). Trust them over recollection.
  2. Isolate the workspace via superpowers:using-git-worktrees before writing code.
  3. Work phases in CX-first order (from the plan): Phase 0 scaffold → 1 design system → 2 frontend → 3 backend → 4 integration → 5 quality/CI/finish. Invoke the matching claude-engineer domain skill for each phase:
    • project-conventions, monorepo-and-tooling, docker-dev-environment (scaffold)
    • design-systemfrontend-developmentbackend-development
    • testing-and-quality, ci-cd-pipeline
  4. Execute tasks with superpowers:subagent-driven-development - a fresh implementer subagent per task; each task uses superpowers:test-driven-development. Use superpowers:dispatching-parallel-agents for independent workstreams. Fall back to superpowers:executing-plans only where subagents are unavailable.
  5. After each task: update .claude-engineer/progress.md; record decisions in memory.md.
  6. When something breaks: superpowers:systematic-debugging (root cause before fixes).
  7. Review gate per phase / major feature: superpowers:requesting-code-review + superpowers:receiving-code-review.
  8. Before claiming any phase "done": superpowers:verification-before-completion AND run the four gates via claude-engineer:testing-and-quality.
  9. Finish: claude-engineer:ci-cd-pipeline then superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch.

Autonomy & stopping

Plan-gated then autonomous: run to completion without check-ins. Stop only on genuine blockers - ambiguous requirements not covered by the brief, a destructive/irreversible action, missing credentials, or a decision that changes the agreed plan. Surface the blocker crisply with options.

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.
