description: Use in a fresh specialist dispatch after the user has granted a T3 operation or COMMAND_SET
---
# Approved Execution
Approval resumes work in a fresh dispatch owned by the relevant specialist. It
does not turn the orchestrator into an executor and does not broaden scope.
## Source boundary
For Gaia components, edit only the canonical `gaia/` source tree. Never write,
copy, generate, or stage anything under `.claude/`; installation propagates
source changes. The same prohibition applies to fixtures and bulk operations.
## Ordered execution
1. Read the granted request from the trusted handoff/DB and confirm its exact
id, scope, order, and next unconsumed index.
2. Execute exactly one command per tool call using `command-execution`.
3. For COMMAND_SET, run only the exact next index. Never join commands, skip an
index, substitute an equivalent spelling, or add an unapproved command.
4. After every result, checkpoint the exact command, index, exit status, and
runtime progress fields when exposed.
- 5. On failure, stop immediately. Record stderr/stdout, failed index, completed
- indexes, remaining unexecuted indexes, and the state uncertainty. The grant
- is terminal/frozen `FAILED`; neither retry nor remainder may execute under
- it. Grouping consent is not atomicity or a continue-on-error policy.
+ 5. On failure, apply `command-execution`'s COMMAND_SET fail-fast rule, then use
+ `agent-protocol` to reconcile the result for its consumer.
6. After successful mutations, verify desired state with separate read-only
checks. Success exit codes alone are insufficient.
7. Checkpoint verification and emit `NEEDS_VERIFICATION` for a plan-task-bound
producer; only an eligible unbound turn/verifier may reach `COMPLETE`.
- After any COMMAND_SET failure, fresh investigation must establish the actual
- partial state. Every retry and every still-needed remainder command is a new
- plan: collect them into a new exact request-set (or a singular request when only
- one remains) and obtain new approval. Unused items in the frozen grant do not
- authorize execution, even when their bytes are unchanged.
+ This skill sequences the approved work; it does not duplicate the failure rule
+ or the consumer reconciliation owned by those two skills.
