name	execute-task
description	Execute the next available implementation task from a project task list. Use when Codex is asked to pick up a pending task, work from tasks/prd-[feature-name]/tasks.md, implement a PRD or tech-spec task, continue a task backlog, or complete and mark project tasks done end to end.

Execute Task

Use this skill to identify the next available task, gather the required project context, implement the work, verify it, and update the task list.

Read references/execute-task.md before starting. Treat it as the canonical task-execution prompt for this skill.

Load the task definition, PRD, tech spec, project rules, and relevant project skills before editing.
Identify and load additional skills based on the technologies involved in the task.
Use Context7 MCP documentation for the languages, frameworks, and libraries used by the implementation.
Summarize the selected task before implementation using the format in references/execute-task.md.
Create a concrete approach plan, then start implementation immediately.
Follow project standards without workarounds.
Run focused validation for the changed behavior.
Mark the completed task in tasks.md after the implementation and validation are complete.

Default file locations:

If multiple task directories exist, inspect the task lists and choose the next actionable unchecked task unless the user specified a feature or task.
