ExecutionMode enum

Defines how tasks should be executed in Spectra.

This allows users to use Spectra purely for planning and task management, without requiring AI-generated code implementation.

Inheritance
Available extensions

Values

automatic → const ExecutionMode

Tasks are automatically implemented by AI.

When this mode is active:

  • spectra execute generates code using LLM
  • spectra start spawns workers that generate code
  • Files are automatically written
  • Git commits are automatic

Best for:

  • Rapid prototyping
  • Greenfield projects
  • Autonomous development
manual → const ExecutionMode

Tasks are planned by AI but implemented manually by the user.

When this mode is active:

  • spectra plan generates task breakdown (AI)
  • spectra execute shows tasks but doesn't generate code
  • User implements tasks manually
  • User commits when ready

Best for:

  • Developers who want AI planning but manual control
  • Code review before implementation
  • Learning from AI suggestions
  • Complex tasks requiring human judgment
interactive → const ExecutionMode

Interactive mode: AI generates code, user reviews before applying.

When this mode is active:

  • AI generates code suggestions
  • User reviews each file before writing
  • User can edit suggestions
  • User approves commits

Best for:

  • Production code
  • Critical systems
  • Learning from AI
  • Hybrid workflow
