What problem does it solve?
Manually executing multi-step implementation plans often leads to missed steps, skipped verifications, or unaddressed plan gaps that cause rework and delays. This skill eliminates that risk by enforcing a structured, review-first execution workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pre-Execution Plan Review: Critically evaluate written plans before starting work to catch gaps, unclear instructions, or potential issues early.
- Step-by-Step Task Execution: Follow each plan step exactly, track progress, and run all required verifications to ensure work meets plan requirements.
- Blocker Handling: Stop execution immediately when encountering blockers, missing dependencies, or failed verifications, and ask for clarification instead of guessing.
- Use Case: If you have a written plan to refactor a legacy payment processing module, this skill will guide you through executing each plan step, running required tests, and escalating any issues to your team before they cause larger problems.
Quick Start
Use the executing-plans skill to implement the payment module refactor plan stored in the docs/refactor-plan.md file.
