SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams implement a PLAN step-by-step, executing task sequences in phases with checkpoint validation. It prevents cognitive overload by loading only the current phase into TodoWrite, ensures user confirmation at phase boundaries, and provides clear phase transitions and progress tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-by-phase execution: Run a PLAN phase at a time with explicit progress tracking and phase boundaries.
  • Checkpoint validation: Verify milestones before advancing to the next phase to minimize rework.
  • Blocked-state handling: Offer clear remediation options to resolve blockers without losing context.

Quick Start

Activate the skill to begin Phase 1 from PLAN.md: load Phase 1 tasks into TodoWrite and start phase-by-phase execution with checkpoint validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a multi-phase plan with checkpoint validation?

Phase-by-phase execution loads one phase at a time into your task list, validates completion at checkpoints, and requires user confirmation before advancing to the next phase. This prevents cognitive overload and ensures milestones are met before moving forward.

What's the best way to track progress across multiple project phases?

Maintain separate phase progress by loading only the current phase tasks, clearing completed tasks before transitioning, and generating phase-start prompts and task-status reports. This keeps context focused and phase boundaries explicit.

How do I handle blocked tasks in a phased workflow?

Blocked-state handling offers clear remediation options to unblock tasks without losing execution context. The skill maintains your phase position while you resolve blockers, then resumes from the same point.

Can I use phase-based execution for both sequential and parallel tasks?

Yes. The skill supports structured agent delegation prompts and checkpoint validation for both sequential task chains and parallel task execution within phases, adapting to your workflow structure.

Do I need to create a separate plan file to use phase-based execution?

No. The skill works with PLAN.md-driven workflows—if you already have a plan file with phases defined, activate the skill to begin Phase 1 execution with automatic task loading and progress tracking.
