Batch execution with checkpoints loads a written plan, reviews it for gaps, and executes tasks in controlled batches with explicit reporting for architect review between each milestone. It isolates the workspace to prevent regressions and scope creep throughout development.

Preventing scope creep during plan-driven development requires enforcing an isolated workspace and executing written plans in controlled batches with batch-level verification. This approach provides incremental reporting to stakeholders before proceeding to the next set of tasks.

Reviewing a written plan for gaps before task execution is a core feature. The skill loads the plan, critically evaluates it for missing requirements, and begins executing the first batch of tasks only after confirming the plan's completeness.

Managing QA migrations with incremental verification applies batch execution with checkpoints to execute tasks in controlled batches. It enforces explicit plan review and batch-level verification across milestones to prevent regressions during the migration process.

Batch execution with checkpoints integrates with required sub-skills like finishing-a-development-branch to complete work in a controlled, auditable manner. This ensures the development workflow maintains verification standards from plan execution through branch completion.

Batch execution for task implementation is not suitable when your workflow cannot pause for architect review between batches. The process strictly enforces checkpoint reporting and iterative refinement, requiring stakeholder approval before continuing to the next batch.
