SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams execute a written implementation plan in a controlled, auditable fashion, reducing drift and miscommunication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch execution with checkpoints for critical review between batches.
  • Automatic status tracking (in_progress, completed) and verification steps.
  • Announce at start and require a review before proceeding to the next batch.
  • Optional: signal completion and trigger a follow-up sub-skill when the plan is finished.

Quick Start

Use the executing-plans skill to implement the provided plan, following these steps:

  1. Load the plan file, examine it, identify questions or concerns; raise blockers with your partner if needed.
  2. If the plan is approved, create a TodoWrite and begin the first batch (default: first 3 tasks).
  3. For each task: mark as in_progress, follow each step exactly, run verifications, and mark completed.
  4. After finishing a batch, report what was implemented and the verification results; await feedback.
  5. Continue with subsequent batches until the plan is fully implemented and verified.
  6. Complete development work and announce completion; optionally trigger finishing-a-development-branch sub-skill per the plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a project plan in batches with review checkpoints?

Batch plan execution loads a written plan, validates it, and executes tasks in groups of three with human review checkpoints between batches. It tracks in_progress and completed statuses, runs verifications, and produces structured reports for partner feedback before proceeding.

What is the best way to track task status during staged deployment execution?

Task tracking during staged deployment uses TodoWrite to mark each task as in_progress, follows exact plan steps, runs specified verifications, and marks tasks completed. This maintains auditable status records and produces verification results for review before advancing to the next batch.

How does batch processing with review checkpoints prevent project drift?

Batch processing with review checkpoints prevents drift by enforcing exact plan steps and requiring human partner review of implemented work and verification results between batches. This controlled execution reduces miscommunication and ensures the plan is followed precisely before continuing.

Can I use this approach for development planning reviews and staged deployments?

Yes, batch execution with checkpoints applies to project execution sessions across development, planning reviews, and staged deployments. It validates the plan, executes tasks in batches, and requires review feedback at each checkpoint before proceeding to subsequent batches.

What happens after the final batch of plan execution is completed and verified?

After the final batch is completed and verified, the execution announces completion and optionally triggers a follow-up sub-skill like finishing-a-development-branch per the plan. This signals that all development work is done and downstream actions can proceed.

What should I do if the loaded plan has questions or concerns during validation?

During plan validation, you should examine the plan file, identify any questions or concerns, and raise blockers with your human partner if needed. Plan execution only begins after the plan is approved and any blockers are resolved.
