SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Executes steps from an approved plan in a controlled, verifiable sequence.

Core Features & Use Cases

Step-by-step plan execution with per-step verification and checkpoints to prevent drift.
Automatic announcements of current status and next step, with the ability to pause and re-scope when blockers arise.
Support for parallelizable steps via dedicated agents when steps are independent, with strict change management to maintain plan integrity.

Quick Start

Provide an approved plan and allow the skill to begin executing steps in order, verifying each before proceeding.

FAQPage Schema

How do I execute a development plan step by step with verification?▼

To execute a development plan step by step, you provide an approved plan and the skill sequentially implements each task, verifying per-step results and establishing checkpoints before proceeding to prevent drift. It announces status and handles blockers during execution.

What is the best way to manage scope and prevent drift during task execution?▼

Scope management and drift prevention are handled through per-step verification and fixed checkpoints. The execution sequence pauses when blockers arise, allowing you to actively re-scope tasks with the user before continuing implementation.

Can I parallelize independent tasks in an approved plan?▼

Yes, you can parallelize independent tasks in an approved plan. The skill designates dedicated subagents to execute independent steps simultaneously while maintaining strict change management to preserve overall plan integrity.

Do I need an approved plan before starting task execution?▼

Yes, an approved plan is required before starting task execution. The skill is designed to load existing plans and implement them in a controlled, verifiable sequence rather than generating the planning documents itself.

How does per-step verification work during workflow execution?▼

Per-step verification during workflow execution works through an Announce, Implement, Verify, and Checkpoint sequence. This ensures each step is actively confirmed and its status announced before the next stage begins.
