What problem does it solve?
When a development plan already exists, this Skill turns that static plan into a safe, auditable execution flow by loading the plan, performing a critical review, running each step exactly as specified, and enforcing verification and stop conditions to avoid blind changes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Plan review before execution: Load a written plan and perform a critical review to surface questions, risks, and required clarifications.
- Stepwise deterministic execution: Mark tasks in_progress, execute each small step as written, run required validations, and mark tasks completed.
- Safe completion workflow: Integrates with branching and finishing workflows (e.g., worktree isolation and finishing-a-development-branch) and stops immediately on blockers or unclear instructions.
- Use Case: Apply when a reviewer-approved implementation plan must be executed in an isolated environment, with mandatory verifications and handoffs to finishing workflows.
Quick Start
Tell the assistant to load the provided plan, perform a critical review, confirm any questions, and then execute the plan step by step with verification using the executing-plans skill.
