SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Load plan, review critically, execute all tasks, report when complete.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Announcement at start: Announce at the beginning of execution that the plan will be implemented under the executing-plans skill.
  • Guided execution: Follow the plan step by step, performing verifications and updating task statuses.
  • Sub-skill integration: Leverages required sub-skills such as superpowers:using-git-worktrees, superpowers:writing-plans, and superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch to ensure isolated workspaces, plan creation, and finalization.
  • Blocker handling: Stop on blockers, request clarification, and avoid guessing to maintain plan fidelity.

Quick Start

Announce the start of plan execution and begin executing each task in order with checks and verifications.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a software development plan step by step with verification checkpoints?

To execute a development plan with verification checkpoints, load the written plan, review it critically, and follow each task sequentially while updating statuses and performing verifications before reporting completion.

What is the best way to handle blockers during task execution without guessing?

The best way to handle blockers during task execution is to stop immediately, request clarification, and avoid guessing. This maintains plan fidelity and ensures accurate implementation until the blocker is resolved.

Can I use git worktrees to isolate my workspace when executing an implementation plan?

Yes, you can use git worktrees to isolate your workspace when executing an implementation plan. The execution process integrates worktree management to ensure isolated development before finalizing the development branch.

Does plan execution require a written implementation plan before starting?

Yes, plan execution requires a written implementation plan before starting. The execution process loads the existing plan, reviews it critically, splits it into todos, and verifies each task against the plan before completion.

What happens when a plan execution task fails verification?

When a plan execution task fails verification, the process stops on the blocker and requests clarification. It avoids guessing to maintain plan fidelity, ensuring the task meets verification standards before proceeding.

How do I finalize a development branch after completing all plan tasks?

To finalize a development branch after completing all plan tasks, the execution process leverages integrated sub-skills for finishing development branches, ensuring all tasks are verified and completed before branch finalization.
