Executing an implementation plan with checkpoints involves processing tasks in defined batches and pausing for mandatory human review and feedback after each batch, ensuring iterative development maintains alignment with architectural goals.

Batched task execution is a development workflow mechanism that processes tasks from a written plan in defined groups, defaulting to three tasks per batch. It pauses execution after each batch to facilitate critical review and verification.

Yes, you need git worktrees to use batched execution for code review. The batched execution workflow requires integration with git worktrees and a plan-writing skill to ensure comprehensive workflow management during iterative development.

To manage task verification during step-by-step plan execution, the workflow ensures each task is verified according to the plan's specifications during the mandatory review checkpoints between batches.

You should use checkpoint reviews instead of running tasks continuously when executing detailed technical plans for new features. Checkpoints allow regular feedback and course correction from your lead engineer between batches.
