SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Large implementation plans can be overwhelming, and executing them without checkpoints risks going off track or introducing errors that are hard to detect later, leading to rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Critical Plan Review: Loads and critically reviews the implementation plan, raising any questions or concerns before execution begins.
  • Batch Execution: Executes tasks in controlled batches (defaulting to the first 3 tasks), ensuring manageable progress and regular checkpoints.
  • Progress Reporting: Reports what was implemented and verification output after each batch, allowing for human feedback and architectural review.
  • Use Case: When your human partner provides a complete implementation plan and you need to execute it systematically, with regular checkpoints for feedback and architectural review, ensuring high-quality delivery.

Quick Start

I have a new implementation plan in 'docs/plans/feature-x.md'. Load and begin executing it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a large implementation plan without going off track?

Execute implementation plans in controlled batches with review checkpoints. Load the plan, perform critical review, execute tasks in batches (default first 3), and gather feedback between batches to catch errors early and stay aligned with architectural goals.

What's the best way to manage checkpoints during project implementation?

Batch-driven execution with architect and code review gates ensures regular checkpoints. After each batch, generate progress reports showing what was implemented and verification output, allowing human partners to review, provide feedback, and adjust direction before the next batch.

How do I structure workflow automation for development tasks?

Orchestrate tasks through batch execution with built-in review gates. Apply pre-implementation checks, use TDD-based implementation, verify each task, and generate batch-level reports. This systematic approach manages complexity and maintains quality across large implementation efforts.

Can I automate implementation while keeping human oversight?

Yes. Batch execution with architect and code review checkpoints embeds human oversight into the workflow. Execute tasks in controlled groups, report results after each batch, and pause for feedback before proceeding, balancing automation efficiency with collaborative review.

What should I do before starting an implementation plan?

Perform a critical plan review to identify concerns and raise questions before execution begins. Pre-implementation checks validate the plan's feasibility, ensuring alignment with project goals and reducing rework from undetected issues.

Why do implementation plans fail without checkpoints?

Without checkpoints, errors accumulate undetected and become expensive to fix later, causing rework. Regular batch review gates catch misalignments early, allowing architectural course correction and preventing downstream cascading failures.
