SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides structured, auditable execution of a written plan by dividing work into batches, validating at checkpoints, and reporting progress for review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch-based execution: load a plan, review for concerns, execute tasks in batches with per-task verifications, and report between batches.
  • Review-driven progression: halt on blockers or gaps and await human feedback before continuing.
  • Integration with development workflows: finish development branches after all tasks with verifications using related skills.

Quick Start

Use the executing-plans skill to run a provided plan in batches, showing progress after each batch and pausing for review before the next batch.

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

Batch execution divides a written plan into small tasks, runs verifications per task, and pauses for human review and approval before proceeding to the next batch. This structured progression ensures auditable results and controlled workflow validation.

What is the best way to automate plan execution while waiting for human approval between tasks?

Review-driven progression automates plan execution but halts on blockers, task gaps, or batch completion to await human feedback. This ensures critical checkpoints are manually validated before the workflow continues to subsequent tasks.

Do I need an existing written plan before starting batch task execution?

Yes, batch task execution requires a pre-existing written plan to load and critically review for concerns. The workflow depends on having defined batch execution steps and verification checks already documented before automation begins.

Can I integrate batch execution with git worktrees and development branch workflows?

Yes, batch execution integrates directly with development workflow skills like using-git-worktrees, writing-plans, and finishing-a-development-branch. Tasks are executed and verified in batches before finalizing the associated development branch.

What happens if a verification check fails during batch execution?

Batch execution halts immediately when verification checks fail or blockers are encountered. The workflow pauses to report the gap or issue, requiring human feedback and review before the remaining plan tasks can resume.
