Can I use this for planning my project?

No, this skill is specifically for execution. You should use waypoint-planner to create the task list before invoking waypoint-implement.

What is the difference between simple and complex mode?

Simple mode executes tasks directly in the current session for 3 or fewer sequential tasks, while complex mode spawns parallel worker agents in Git worktrees for larger, non-linear scopes.

Does it automatically manage Git branches and merges?

Yes, in complex mode, it dispatches workers in worktrees, merges their branches upon successful completion, and attempts to resolve basic merge conflicts.

How does the skill handle tasks requiring human input?

Tasks assigned to humans are surfaced as blockers and logged in docs/inbox.json, allowing the user to provide answers or resolve issues asynchronously.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates the execution of complex development tasks by dispatching parallel worker agents or processing tasks inline.

The waypoint-implement skill provides a robust orchestration layer for Claude Code, enabling the transition from planning to execution. It intelligently evaluates task complexity to decide between simple inline execution and complex parallel worker dispatch via Git worktrees. By managing task dependencies, surfacing human-required blockers through a persistent inbox, and automating changelog updates, it ensures structured, traceable, and efficient progress across large-scale project milestones and technical roadmaps.

Key Features

01Parallel worker dispatch using Git worktrees for isolated task execution
