Documentation

README

Excerpt

execute-task

The execution loop. Three sources converge:

Plan (HOW) — docs/superpowers/plans/*.md produced by GENERATE
TaskMaster (WHAT) — .taskmaster/tasks/tasks.json with dependencies and complexity scores
CDD (PROOF) — acceptance cards per task, evidence-gated

execute-task is the single skill that runs the full build from "tasks are ready" to SHIP_CHECK_OK. It is autonomous — no AskUserQuestion inside the loop. Any gap that would require user input is surfaced through the recon escalation ladder (step 11) or the inbox (steps 4 and 8), never via a modal prompt.
