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 carrying out a plan in a separate session, with critical review up front and explicit checkpoints along the way. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Loads the plan file, identifies questions or concerns, and raises them with the human partner before any work begins. - Task-by-Task Execution: Converts plan items into todos, marks each in progress, follows the bite-sized steps exactly, and runs the specified verifications before marking completion. - Stop-and-Ask Discipline: Halts execution on blockers, unclear instructions, or repeated verification failures instead of guessing, and hands off to a finishing-a-development-branch step when all tasks are done. - Use Case: You have a reviewed implementation plan for a multi-file refactor. Start a fresh session, point the AI at the plan file, and it executes every task in order, runs each verification, and stops to ask whenever something is ambiguous. ## Quick Start Use the executing-plans skill to implement the plan in docs/refactor-plan.md, reviewing it critically first and stopping to ask if anything is unclear.

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

Provide the plan file and invoke the executing-plans skill. It reviews the plan critically, creates todos for each item, follows the bite-sized steps exactly, and runs the specified verifications before marking tasks complete.

What should happen before executing a written implementation plan?

The plan should be reviewed critically first: identify questions or concerns and raise them with your human partner before starting. An isolated workspace, such as a git worktree, should also be created or verified.

When should plan execution stop and ask for help?

Stop immediately when you hit a blocker such as a missing dependency, a failing test, an unclear instruction, or repeated verification failures. Ask for clarification rather than guessing or forcing through the problem.

Can I start implementation directly on the main branch?

No. The skill explicitly forbids starting implementation on main or master without explicit user consent. Use an isolated workspace such as a git worktree before executing any plan tasks.

What happens after all plan tasks are completed?

After all tasks complete and pass verification, the skill hands off to the finishing-a-development-branch skill. That step verifies tests, presents options for the branch, and executes the chosen action.
