Execution Mode (@Setup prompts)

Glossary Term

A required variable (EXECUTION_MODE) declared in Per Prompt Instructions for every
Setup Prompt
. It controls which branch of the Per Prompt Type Instructions rules apply during a run.
Two values:
  • iterator — diff-based change set. The AI compares a desired state against the current state and applies only the necessary additions, updates, or deletions.
  • procedural — custom phased pipeline. The AI follows an explicit sequence of numbered phases defined in the prompt.
Execution Mode is one of the three
Prompt Batch Architecture
patterns.
