SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the execution of pre-defined implementation plans, ensuring tasks are completed systematically with verification checkpoints, and provides a structured way to resume complex work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic Task Execution: Follows bite-sized steps from a plan file, executing them in batches.
  • Verification Integration: Runs specified verifications after each task or batch of tasks.
  • Resumption of Work: Ideal for continuing multi-step projects from previous sessions.
  • Use Case: You have a detailed plan to refactor a large module. This skill will execute each refactoring step, run tests after each, and prompt for review before proceeding, ensuring the refactoring is done safely and correctly.

Quick Start

Use the executing-plans skill to execute the plan located in docs/plans/refactor-auth-module.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about executing-plans

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a multi-step implementation plan systematically with verification checkpoints?▼

To execute an implementation plan systematically, you need a plan file with bite-sized steps and specified verifications. The skill processes these steps in batches within a separate session, running tests and prompting for review before proceeding to ensure systematic task completion and quality assurance.

What is the best way to resume interrupted development work from a previous session?▼

Resuming interrupted work requires a structured plan file detailing remaining bite-sized steps and verifications. The skill reads this plan to continue multi-step project execution from previous sessions, applying defined review checkpoints to safely complete the complex development tasks.

Do I need a specific file format to automate workflow execution for complex refactoring tasks?▼

Yes, workflow automation for complex refactoring requires a written plan file, such as a markdown document. This file must contain bite-sized implementation steps and specified verifications to guide the systematic execution, testing, and review process safely.

Can I run tests automatically after each task when executing a development plan?▼

Yes, you can run specified verifications automatically after each task or batch of tasks during plan execution. The skill integrates these verification checkpoints directly into the workflow, prompting for review to ensure each refactoring step is done safely and correctly.

When should I not use an automated plan execution workflow for software engineering tasks?▼

Automated plan execution workflows are not suited for simple, single-step coding tasks or undocumented changes. This approach requires a pre-defined plan file with explicit bite-sized steps and verification checkpoints to manage complex multi-step development tasks and ensure systematic task completion.
