SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured method to take a written implementation plan and reliably execute it in verified batches while ensuring architect review and safe pauses when blockers appear. It prevents ad-hoc execution, missed verifications, and unchecked progress by enforcing checkpoints and explicit reporting after each batch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch Execution with Checkpoints: Execute the plan in small, verifiable batches (default first three tasks) to reduce risk and improve reviewability.
  • Critical Plan Review: Pre-execution critical review step to surface questions or gaps before implementation begins.
  • Verification and Reporting: Run specified verifications for each task, mark states (in_progress/completed), and produce concise reports for human feedback.
  • Use Case: Ideal for engineering or product teams turning a detailed implementation plan into incremental, reviewable work that halts on blockers and requests clarification.

Quick Start

Use the executing-plans skill to load your plan file, run the first three tasks as a batch, perform the required verifications, and report the results for feedback.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan in batches with review checkpoints?

Executing an implementation plan in batches processes written tasks in small, verifiable groups, defaulting to the first three tasks, to reduce risk and enforce architect review before proceeding further.

What is checkpointed plan execution and how does it handle task state transitions?

Checkpointed plan execution runs bite-sized tasks sequentially, updating task states like in_progress and completed, running specified verifications, and pausing execution on blockers until clarified.

How do I start running tasks from a written plan file and get feedback reports?

Load your plan file to run the first three tasks as a batch, perform the required verifications, mark task states, and produce concise reports for human feedback before continuing.

Do I need a pre-execution review before batch executing a development plan?

A pre-execution critical review is required to surface questions or gaps in the written implementation plan before batch execution begins, preventing missed verifications and unchecked progress.

What happens when plan execution hits a blocker during batch task verification?

Plan execution halts immediately when a blocker appears during task verification, pausing all subsequent batch execution until the blocker is clarified by human feedback and resolved.

Best way to prevent ad-hoc execution and missed verifications in development workflows?

Enforcing checkpointed batch execution with periodic architect review and explicit reporting after each batch prevents ad-hoc execution and missed verifications in development workflows.
