SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you execute a pre-written implementation plan step-by-step, ensuring critical review and feedback loops are maintained throughout the development process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Execution: Follows a plan in defined batches, executing tasks and verifications precisely as written.
  • Checkpoint Reviews: Pauses between batches to report progress and await feedback, ensuring alignment with human partners.
  • Error Handling: Provides clear guidance on when to stop and ask for help if blockers or ambiguities arise.
  • Use Case: You have a detailed technical plan for a new feature. Use this Skill to systematically implement the plan, getting your lead developer's approval after each set of tasks before proceeding.

Quick Start

Use the executing-plans skill to load and begin executing the plan located at /path/to/implementation_plan.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a written implementation plan step by step?

To execute a written implementation plan step by step, this Skill processes defined task batches sequentially, running verifications and pausing for review checkpoints between batches. It manages the iterative development workflow until all tasks are complete.

What are review checkpoints in a development workflow?

Review checkpoints in a development workflow are pauses between task batches where execution stops to report progress and await human feedback. They ensure alignment with your lead developer before proceeding to the next set of implementation tasks.

How do I manage iterative code implementation with human feedback loops?

Managing iterative code implementation with feedback loops involves executing tasks in batches, running verifications, and reporting progress at defined checkpoints. This Skill halts execution after each batch to await explicit approval before proceeding to the next phase.

Do I need a pre-written technical plan to use task management execution?

Yes, you need a pre-written technical plan to use task management execution. This Skill requires an existing implementation plan file with defined tasks and verifications to systematically process, as it does not generate the plan itself.

When should I stop code execution and ask for help during plan implementation?

You should stop code execution and ask for help during plan implementation when blockers or ambiguities arise that prevent task completion. This Skill provides clear error handling guidance to halt and request human assistance at these checkpoints.
