SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Written implementation plans often fail in execution because steps get skipped, verifications are ignored, or blockers are worked around with guesses. This Skill enforces a disciplined process for carrying out a plan in a separate session with review checkpoints. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Loads the plan file and raises questions or concerns with the human partner before any work begins. - Task-by-Task Execution: Tracks each task with TodoWrite, follows bite-sized steps exactly, and runs the verifications specified in the plan. - Stop-on-Blocker Discipline: Halts and asks for clarification when hitting missing dependencies, failing tests, or unclear instructions instead of guessing. - Use Case: After drafting a multi-step refactoring plan, hand it to a fresh session that reviews it critically, executes every task with verification, and finishes the development branch through the required sub-skill. ## Quick Start Use the executing-plans skill to implement the plan in docs/plans/my-feature-plan.md and stop if anything is unclear.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan with an AI assistant?▼

Provide the plan file path and invoke the executing-plans workflow. The assistant reads the plan, reviews it critically, raises any concerns, then executes each task in order while running the verifications specified in the plan.

What should an implementation plan contain before execution?▼

The plan should contain bite-sized tasks with explicit steps and verification commands for each task. Plans created by a dedicated plan-writing skill work best, since this skill follows the steps exactly as written.

What happens when a task verification fails during plan execution?▼

Execution stops immediately when a verification fails repeatedly, a dependency is missing, or an instruction is unclear. The assistant asks the human partner for clarification rather than guessing or forcing through the blocker.

Can I start plan execution on the main branch?▼

No. The skill explicitly forbids starting implementation on main or master without explicit user consent, and recommends setting up an isolated workspace such as a git worktree before beginning.

When should I use subagent-driven development instead of executing plans?▼

If the platform supports subagents, such as Claude Code or Codex, the skill itself recommends using subagent-driven development instead, since delegating tasks to subagents produces significantly higher quality results.
