 # Execute Pipeline Patterns
 
 ## Principle: smart data, dumb code
 
-The primitives stay simple. Complexity lives in the data schema and the skill (here), not in the tools themselves. Design pipelines around data shape, not around clever tool use.
+The primitive stays simple. Complexity lives in the data schema and the skill (here), not in the tool itself. Design pipelines around data shape, not around clever tool use.
 
-## Tools
+## execute_code: the unified primitive
 
-| Tool | What it does |
+`execute_code` accepts a `steps` array of pipeline stages. Stages run sequentially, each stage's stdout fed to the next stage's stdin. A single stage returning raw output is the degenerate case.
-|---|---|
-| `execute_code` | Run one or more steps. Steps may be inline `{code}` or named `{tool, args}` scripts. Multiple steps run in parallel; single step returns raw output. |
-| `execute_pipe` | Chain stages sequentially, piping stdout → stdin. Each stage: `{code}`, `{tool, args}`, or `{parallel: [steps]}`. |
 
-## execute_code: parallel fan-out
+Each stage is one of:
-
+- `{code, language}` — inline code (default: bash)
-Single step — raw output:
+- `{tool, args}` — named script from `ollie/t`; language detected from shebang
-```json
+- `{parallel: [steps]}` — concurrent fan-out; outputs concatenated in submission order, fed to next stage
-{"steps": [{"code": "wc -l file.txt"}]}
-```
-
-Multiple steps — run concurrently, results under `=== step N ===` headers:
-```json
-{"steps": [
-  {"code": "wc -l a.txt"},
-  {"code": "wc -l b.txt"},
-  {"tool": "count-lines.sh", "args": ["c.txt"]}
-]}
-```
 
 Tool steps and inline code steps can be mixed freely. Tool steps are trusted (no pattern validation); inline code steps are validated before execution.
 
 ## Language selection
 
-How the interpreter is chosen depends on step type:
-
 | Step type | How language is determined |
 |---|---|
 | `{code}` | `language` field; defaults to `bash` if absent |
-| `{tool}` | shebang line in the script (`#!/usr/bin/env python3`, etc.); `language` field is ignored |
+| `{tool}` | shebang line in the script; `language` field is ignored |
 
 Supported `language` values for inline code: `bash`, `python3`, `perl`, `lua`, `awk`, `sed`, `jq`, `ed`, `expect`, `bc`.
 
-Do not set `language` on a tool step — it has no effect and will mislead readers of the call.
+## Single stage (degenerate case)
-
-Results are always in submission order, regardless of completion order.
-
-## execute_pipe: sequential pipeline
-
-Each stage's stdout becomes the next stage's stdin.
