Ce Work

This is your systematic execution engine for getting features shipped. It takes either a plan document or a bare prompt, triages the complexity, and works through implementation with a focus on finishing complete features rather than leaving things half-done. The workflow is opinionated: it reads your plan as a decision artifact (not a script), respects execution notes like test-first or characterization-first, handles deferred questions at implementation time, and won't let you accidentally commit to main without confirmation. The branching and worktree setup is thoughtful, the task breakdown preserves traceability with U-IDs, and it actively checks scope boundaries so you don't drift into adjacent work. If you've been burned by half-finished features or scope creep, this gives you guard rails that still let you move fast.

Work Execution Command

Outcome

Result: A fully implemented, locally verified change set from a plan, specification, or concrete work prompt.
Next consumer: In standalone use, the shipping workflow takes the verified change through review and delivery. In Return-to-Caller Mode, the invoking workflow receives the structured implementation and verification result and owns its remaining gates.
Done: Every in-scope task is complete, required verification evidence is recorded, relevant checks pass, and the run reaches either its owned shipping handoff (with a code-review receipt or explicit skip phrase — see Phase 3-4), a complete return result, or an explicit blocker.
Intent: Finish the requested feature without renegotiating the plan or transferring canonical integration authority. Workers receive bounded units; the host orchestrator inspects actual changes and owns authoritative verification and canonical commits.
