executing-plans

To execute a development plan without missing steps, load the written plan into the session for task-by-task implementation. The assistant follows each step sequentially and pauses at predefined review checkpoints to verify the work before proceeding to the next task.

Checkpointed review works by enforcing explicit stop conditions during feature implementation or refactoring. The assistant pauses execution to ask critical questions or address blockers, preventing blind progression until verification succeeds and the development task is confirmed complete.

If you encounter unclear instructions during plan execution, the assistant stops immediately and requests clarification rather than guessing. This strict stop condition ensures blockers and ambiguous task requirements are resolved before any further development work continues.

Yes, you can use this workflow for bug fixes, feature implementations, and refactors executed in a separate session. It requires a prewritten implementation plan and supports the full path from loading the plan to verifying the work and finishing the branch.

The best way to handle task-by-task verification during a code refactor is to follow a prepared plan that enforces disciplined review checkpoints. This ensures each refactoring task is verified against explicit stop conditions before moving forward to completion reporting.

You need a dedicated plan execution workflow for software development when a teammate hands you a detailed task plan requiring careful implementation. It ensures critical plan review, task-by-task verification, and completion reporting are executed without losing track of steps.
