Automating plan execution involves loading a plan file, creating a TodoWrite task list, and systematically executing each task with in_progress and completed statuses alongside verifications. This ensures structured progression through plan-driven development with built-in progress reporting.

Plan-driven development with review checkpoints is a workflow that critically evaluates a plan before execution, then carries out tasks step-by-step with status updates and verifications. It culminates in structured completion reporting and finalization through required sub-skills.

Yes, this plan execution workflow applies to both solo and collaborative development sessions. It manages task execution by tracking per-step status updates and performing verifications, ensuring all team members follow the structured plan execution and review process.

The best way to track task status during plan execution is using a TodoWrite system to manage in_progress and completed checkpoints. This provides real-time per-step status updates, allowing you to monitor verifications and overall progress throughout the development workflow.

Yes, you need a written plan file to start task execution. The workflow requires loading an existing plan to critically review it, identify risks, and systematically carry out each specified task with verifications and structured completion reporting.

Performing a critical plan review before executing development tasks identifies risks and ensures the plan is sound. This pre-execution evaluation prevents errors during step-by-step task execution, verifying that subsequent checkpoints and finalization steps proceed without structural failures.
