SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured, auditable process to turn a written implementation plan into an executable session with review checkpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan loading and critical review to surface blockers before execution.
  • Deterministic task execution with per-task status updates and verifications.
  • Structured handoff to development completion using sub-skills for final integration.
  • Use Case: When given a detailed feature plan, load, review, execute tasks, verify results, and hand off to completion.

Quick Start

Submit a written plan file and I will load it, review critically, execute all tasks with verifications, and report completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate plan execution with task checkpoints and reviews?

Plan execution with checkpoints automates loading a written development plan, critically reviewing it for blockers, executing tasks with status updates, and verifying results before handoff. This structured workflow ensures auditable, deterministic progression through implementation tasks.

What's the best way to execute a development plan in isolated git workspaces?

Executing a development plan in isolated git worktrees involves loading the plan, reviewing task requirements, and running each task sequentially with per-task verifications. This process uses isolated workspaces to prevent conflicts and ensures clear handoffs upon development completion.

How do I perform a critical review of a development plan before execution?

A critical review of a development plan surfaces blockers and validates requirements before execution begins. The plan execution workflow loads the written plan, analyzes dependencies, and checks for potential issues to ensure deterministic task execution without mid-process failures.

Can I use git worktrees for staged task execution and structured handoffs?

Yes, git worktrees support staged task execution by providing isolated workspaces for each phase of the development plan. The workflow executes tasks with per-task status updates and verifications, then hands off to completion using sub-skills for final branch integration.

Why does plan-driven development require per-task status updates and verifications?

Per-task status updates and verifications ensure deterministic execution and traceability within plan-driven development. By validating each task before moving to the next, the workflow maintains an auditable process that catches errors early and ensures requirements are satisfied.

Do I need a written plan file to use automated task execution workflows?

Yes, a written plan file is required as the input for automated task execution workflows. The process loads the plan file, performs a critical review, executes the defined tasks with verifications, and reports completion using specified sub-skills for branch integration.
