+### Conditional Execution Best Practices
+
+**✅ DO:**
+
+- Use `<action if="">` for single conditional actions
+- Use `<check if="">...</check>` for blocks with multiple items
+- Always close `<check>` tags explicitly
+- Keep conditions simple and readable
+
+**❌ DON'T:**
+
+- Wrap single actions in `<check>` blocks (unnecessarily verbose)
+- Forget to close `<check>` tags
+- Nest too many levels (makes logic hard to follow)
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```xml
+<!-- ✅ Good: Single action -->
+<action if="file exists">Load configuration</action>
+
+<!-- ❌ Avoid: Unnecessary wrapper for single action -->
+<check if="file exists">
+  <action>Load configuration</action>
+</check>
+
+<!-- ✅ Good: Multiple actions in block -->
+<check if="validation fails">
+  <action>Log error details</action>
+  <action>Notify user</action>
+  <goto step="1">Retry input</goto>
+</check>

+- **Wrong conditional pattern** - Use `<action if="">` for single items, `<check if="">` for blocks
