SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents stalled implementation by running an approved engineering plan to completion while keeping the PM in control of scope and ship decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Plan-first execution with guardrails: Loads the plan document, reviews it for gaps, and refuses to start when the plan is unclear.
Deterministic write-ahead progress tracking: Updates both the plan file and the session task list so work is crash-insurance safe.
Parallelizable wave dispatch gating: Builds a gate-graph based on real file touchpoints (write overlap, output consumption, contract-change dependencies) to sequence tasks appropriately.
Flight recorder for compaction resilience: Creates a persistent, structured session task list with phase/task granularity.
Verification and finishing workflow: Runs verifications per task and finishes through coordinator:finishing-a-development-branch, with an advisory acceptance-oracle check beforehand.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run a specific PM-approved implementation plan file end-to-end by invoking: /execute-plan path/to/the/plan.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I execute an approved engineering plan to completion without stalling?▼

To execute an engineering plan to completion, load the PM-approved plan document to run tasks sequentially with write-ahead updates and per-task verification. This prevents stalled implementation by applying gate-graph sequencing and persistent flight recording.

What is wave gating for task orchestration in development branches?▼

Wave gating for task orchestration is a mechanism that builds a dependency graph based on real file touchpoints, write overlaps, and contract changes. It sequences implementation tasks appropriately to ensure safe parallelizable wave dispatch during plan execution.

How do I track implementation progress safely against crashes when running a development plan?▼

Track implementation progress safely using deterministic write-ahead updates applied to both the plan file and a structured session task list. This flight recorder approach provides compaction resilience and ensures work is crash-insurance safe.

Can I run a mid-size engineering plan if the document has gaps or unclear sections?▼

You cannot run an engineering plan if the document has gaps or unclear sections. The execution mechanism reviews the plan for gaps and refuses to start when the plan is unclear, ensuring PM scope control and ship decisions are maintained.

Does plan execution require a verification step before finishing a development branch?▼

Plan execution requires per-task verification and an advisory acceptance-oracle check before finishing. The process completes through a mandatory development branch finishing workflow to ensure all footprint and verification steps are followed.
