SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams execute a written implementation plan with structured review checkpoints, enabling early issue detection and staged delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Load and critically review a plan, then execute tasks in batches with verifications.
  • Interleave progress reporting between batches to keep stakeholders aligned.
  • Use announcements and follow-on skills (e.g., finishing-branch) to complete development and ensure quality gates.

Quick Start

Provide a plan file named plan.md to trigger the executing-plans workflow. The skill will load the plan, perform a critical review, and execute the first batch of up to three tasks, reporting results after each batch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a written implementation plan with structured review checkpoints?

To execute a written implementation plan with review checkpoints, provide a plan.md file. The skill loads the plan, performs a critical architecture review, and executes tasks in batches with verifications.

What is batch execution for development tasks and how does it keep stakeholders aligned?

Batch execution processes up to three development tasks sequentially. It interleaves progress reporting between batches to keep stakeholders aligned and enables early issue detection during staged delivery.

Can I use this workflow for plan-driven projects that require task verification and progress reporting?

Yes, this workflow suits plan-driven projects requiring task verification and progress reporting. It enforces structured critical feedback, staged delivery, and seamless handoffs to follow-on skills.

Do I need a specific plan file format to trigger the executing-plans workflow?

Yes, you need a written implementation plan named plan.md to trigger the workflow. The skill loads this file, performs a critical review, and executes the first batch of tasks automatically.

What's the best way to handle plan review and staged delivery for software engineering tasks?

The best way to handle plan review and staged delivery is applying structured critical checkpoints. This approach performs architecture review, executes tasks in batches, and reports results after each batch.

How do I complete development and ensure quality gates after batch execution?

To complete development and ensure quality gates after batch execution, use announcements and follow-on skills like finishing-branch. This enforces task verification and enables proper handoffs.
