executing-plans

Executing a plan in controlled batches means loading your implementation steps, conducting a critical review, then running them in small groups (typically 3 tasks) with mandatory checkpoints between each batch. This structured approach catches issues early and ensures precision throughout the workflow.

Review checkpoints are scheduled pauses after each batch of tasks that report progress and verification output for human review. They prevent cascading errors by giving you the opportunity to assess alignment, catch problems, and adjust course before proceeding to the next batch.

The skill tracks task status (in_progress, completed) and includes blocker handling logic to pause execution when issues arise. You review the blocker, decide whether to resolve and retry or adjust the remaining plan, ensuring no silent failures propagate through your workflow.

Yes. This skill is designed for workflows where a partner supplies a complete plan and you need staged execution with review intervals. The mandatory checkpoints after each batch give reviewers explicit opportunities to validate progress and provide feedback before the next phase.

Batch execution breaks work into smaller chunks with verification between each group, reducing risk and enabling course correction. All-at-once execution risks missing issues until the entire plan fails. Batches provide visibility, control, and the chance to catch and fix problems incrementally.

The skill requires a complete implementation plan with bite-sized steps. As long as your plan lists discrete, verifiable tasks in sequence, the skill can load it, guide critical review, execute in batches, track status, handle blockers, and report progress at each checkpoint.
