SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Written implementation plans often get executed inconsistently: steps get skipped, verifications are ignored, and blockers are worked around with guesses. This Skill enforces a disciplined process for executing a plan in a separate session, with critical review upfront and explicit stop conditions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Loads the plan file and raises questions or concerns with the human partner before writing any code. - Task-by-Task Execution: Tracks each task with TodoWrite, follows bite-sized steps exactly, and runs the verifications specified in the plan. - Controlled Completion: Hands off to the finishing-a-development-branch workflow after all tasks pass, and stops to ask for help when blocked instead of guessing. - Use Case: You have a multi-task implementation plan from a planning session. Invoke this Skill in a fresh session to execute every task in order, verify each one, and finish the development branch cleanly. ## Quick Start Use the executing-plans skill to implement the plan in docs/plans/feature-auth.md and stop if anything is unclear.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan with an AI agent?

Provide the plan file and invoke the executing-plans skill. It reads the plan, reviews it critically, raises concerns before starting, then executes each task in order while running the verifications specified in the plan.

What should I do before running plan execution?

Create the plan first with a planning skill such as superpowers:writing-plans, and set up an isolated workspace using git worktrees. Never start implementation on the main or master branch without explicit consent.

What happens when a task verification fails during execution?

Execution stops immediately when verification fails repeatedly, a dependency is missing, or an instruction is unclear. The skill asks the human partner for clarification rather than guessing or forcing through blockers.

Does executing-plans work without subagent support?

Yes, it is designed for sessions without subagents. However, the skill notes that platforms with subagent support, such as Claude Code or Codex, produce higher quality results using superpowers:subagent-driven-development instead.

When should I go back to plan review instead of continuing execution?

Return to the review step when your partner updates the plan based on feedback or when the fundamental approach needs rethinking. Do not force execution through a plan with critical gaps.
