SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps turn a written implementation plan into a reliable execution session where each task is performed in order, reviewed, verified, and completed without skipping critical checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-first execution: Loads the plan, performs a critical review, and surfaces concerns with your human partner before work starts.
  • Checkpointed task execution: Executes each task by following the plan’s bite-sized steps, marking progress as it goes, and running the verifications specified.
  • Safe completion workflow: After all tasks complete, hands off to a required finishing sub-skill to verify tests, present options, and execute the chosen next action.

Quick Start

Tell your human partner: “Provide the written implementation plan and then ask me to run the executing-plans skill to execute it with review checkpoints and required verifications.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a development plan step-by-step with verification checks?

Executing a development plan step-by-step involves loading a written implementation plan, processing ordered tasks sequentially, and running specified verifications after each step. This enforces reliable software delivery by stopping immediately when a verification fails or a block occurs.

What is a checkpointed task execution workflow in software delivery?

Checkpointed task execution is a workflow where each task is performed in bite-sized steps with explicit review checkpoints. Progress is marked sequentially, and specified verifications must pass before moving forward, ensuring safe handoff to a completion process.

How do I ensure a safe handoff after completing an implementation plan?

To ensure a safe handoff after completing an implementation plan, the execution process must hand off to a required finishing sub-skill. This sub-skill verifies tests, presents options, and executes the chosen next action for safe software delivery.

Can I start task execution if my implementation plan has missing verifications?

You cannot start task execution if the implementation plan lacks verifications. The workflow requires critically reviewing the plan first to surface concerns with your human partner before work starts, ensuring every task has specified verification steps.

What happens when a task verification fails during plan execution?

When a task verification fails during plan execution, the system stops immediately. This blocking mechanism enforces review before action, requiring you to resolve the failure before proceeding to the next bite-sized step in the development workflow.

Does checkpointed plan execution work without a pre-written implementation plan?

Checkpointed plan execution does not work without a pre-written implementation plan. The workflow requires loading existing written plans first, critically reviewing the contents, and following the exact bite-sized task steps specified within the document.
