do
Manifest executor. Iterates through Deliverables satisfying Acceptance Criteria, then verifies all ACs and Global Invariants pass. Use when you have a manifest from /define.
Installation
Follow the repository instructions for this skill and your agent. Review the files and dependencies before adding it to your workflow.

/do - Manifest Executor
Goal
Execute a Manifest: satisfy all Deliverables' Acceptance Criteria while following Process Guidance and Approach direction, then verify everything passes (including Global Invariants).
Why quality execution matters: The manifest front-loaded the thinking—criteria are already defined. Your job is implementation that passes verification on first attempt. Every verification failure is rework.
Input
$ARGUMENTS = manifest file path (REQUIRED)
If no arguments: Output error "Usage: /do "
Principles
| Principle | Rule |
|---|---|
| ACs define success | Work toward acceptance criteria however makes sense. Manifest says WHAT, you decide HOW. |
| Architecture is direction | Follow approach's architecture as starting direction. Adapt tactics freely—architecture guides, doesn't constrain. |
| Target failures specifically | On verification failure, fix the specific failing criterion. Don't restart. Don't touch passing criteria. |
| Verify fixes first | After fixing a failure, confirm the fix works before re-running full verification. |
| Trade-offs guide adjustment | When risks (R-) materialize, consult trade-offs (T-) for decision criteria. Log adjustments with rationale. |
Constraints
Log after every action - Write to execution log immediately after each AC attempt. No exceptions. This is disaster recovery—if context is lost, the log is the only record of what happened.
Must call /verify - Can't declare done without verification. Invoke vibe-experimental:verify with manifest and log paths.
Escalation boundary - Escalate only when ACs can't be met as written (contract broken). If ACs remain achievable, adjust and continue autonomously.
Refresh before verify - Read full execution log before calling /verify to restore context.
Memento Pattern
Externalize progress to survive context loss. The log IS the disaster recovery mechanism.
Execution log: Create /tmp/do-log-{timestamp}.md at start. After EACH AC attempt, append what happened and the outcome. Goal: another agent reading only the log could resume work.
Todos: Create from manifest (deliverables → ACs). Follow execution order from Approach. Update todo status after logging (log first, todo second).
