SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you reliably turn a written implementation plan into executed tasks with explicit review checkpoints, reducing the risk of skipping critical steps or misunderstanding the plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

Plan-first execution: Load the plan, review it critically, and only proceed after resolving concerns with your human partner.
Step-by-step task execution: Execute each task by marking progress, following bite-sized steps exactly, and running the specified verifications.
Safe completion with required handoff: After tasks finish and are verified, switch to a required finishing workflow to complete the development and present verification options.

Quick Start

Tell your AI to execute the provided written implementation plan using the executing-plans workflow, including review, task verification, and the required finishing-a-development-branch handoff.

FAQPage Schema

How do I execute a written development plan step by step with verification checkpoints?▼

To execute a written development plan, load and critically review it first, then proceed through each task sequentially. You must follow bite-sized steps exactly, run specified verifications, and stop immediately upon hitting blockers or unclear instructions before moving forward.

What is the best way to ensure no critical steps are skipped during plan execution?▼

The best way to prevent skipping critical steps during plan execution is using explicit review checkpoints. You critically review the written plan before starting, then mark progress and run verifications after each task to ensure precise adherence to the development workflow.

Can I use this workflow for multi-task development with git worktrees?▼

Yes, you can use this workflow for multi-task development with git worktrees. It applies specifically to multi-task development workflows where each step must be followed precisely, requiring you to create and progress through tasks according to the plan.

What happens when a task instruction is unclear during development plan execution?▼

When a task instruction is unclear during development plan execution, you must stop immediately. The workflow requires stopping on blockers or unclear instructions and resolving concerns with your human partner before proceeding to the next task.

Do I need a finishing workflow to complete a development branch after plan execution?▼

Yes, you need a finishing workflow to complete a development branch after plan execution. After tasks finish and are verified, you must switch to a required finishing-a-development-branch workflow to complete the development and present verification options.
