What is the APEX workflow orchestrated by this skill?

APEX is a standardized four-stage process consisting of Research (gathering intelligence), Plan (architecture design), Implement (build and validate), and Ship (review, reflect, and commit).

Where does the skill store the progress of my tasks?

All task history, including research findings, architecture plans, and implementation logs, is stored in a dedicated markdown file within the ./.apex/tasks directory.

When should I use the execute skill instead of individual phases?

Use the execute skill for small to medium tasks that can be completed in one session. For large, complex features requiring significant human review between steps, running individual phases is recommended.

How does the skill handle failures during the workflow?

If any phase fails (e.g., tests fail or research is inconclusive), the skill stops and reports the current state, suggesting manual intervention or a retry of that specific phase.

Does this skill automatically commit my code?

Yes, during the final 'Ship' phase, the skill creates a git commit and records a reflection on the work performed.

생산성 및 워크플로

Automates the complete software development lifecycle from initial research to final deployment in a single, continuous session.

The APEX Execute skill serves as a meta-orchestrator for developers using Claude Code, streamlining the transition between intelligence gathering, architectural design, coding, and shipping. By chaining the four distinct APEX phases—research, planning, implementation, and shipping—it allows for rapid, end-to-end task completion without manual context switching. This skill is ideal for handling well-defined tickets or features where a developer wants to maintain momentum through the entire build-test-deploy loop while ensuring all steps are documented, verified, and committed to version control.
