SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams and agents reliably execute a written implementation plan by running tasks in controlled batches with architect review checkpoints, preventing unsafe or premature changes to main branches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch Execution with Checkpoints: Execute the first N tasks (default first 3) as a batch, mark tasks in_progress, run steps and verifications exactly as specified, and mark completed.
  • Critical Review & Halt Conditions: Load and critically review the plan before starting, surface concerns, and immediately stop and ask for clarification on blockers, missing dependencies, or repeated verification failures.
  • Workflow Integration: Designed to be used with isolated workspaces and other workflow skills (using-git-worktrees, writing-plans, finishing-a-development-branch) for branch-based development and iterative implementation with feedback loops.

Quick Start

Use the executing-plans skill to load a plan file, run the first three tasks as a verified batch, and produce a concise report for feedback.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan in controlled batches with review checkpoints?

Batch execution runs the first few tasks from a plan file, marks them in_progress, runs specified steps and verifications, marks them completed, and produces a concise report for architect review before proceeding.

What is the best way to safely implement a step-by-step technical plan off the main branch?

Executing plans off main branches using isolated git workspaces ensures changes remain reviewable and safe, with intermediate verifications and checkpoint reports preventing premature or unsafe merges into main.

Do I need a git worktree set up before I can run batch task execution?

Yes, you need a prepared isolated workspace using git worktrees and an accessible plan file containing step-by-step tasks before starting batch execution with intermediate verifications.

What happens if verifications fail repeatedly during plan implementation?

The execution immediately stops and asks for clarification when it encounters blockers, missing dependencies, or repeated verification failures, preventing unsafe changes from continuing without review.

How does the plan review process work before starting batch execution?

The skill loads and critically reviews the written plan before starting, surfaces any concerns about the tasks or dependencies, and halts to ask for clarification on any identified blockers.

Can I integrate batch plan execution with branch-based development workflows?

Yes, batch execution integrates with isolated workspaces, writing-plans, and finishing-a-development-branch skills for iterative branch-based development with feedback loops and checkpoint reviews.
