FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a software development plan with real-time progress tracking?

You can execute pre-defined software development plans through an orchestrator that provides real-time progress tracking and validation gates. This streamlines workflows by guiding you through listing plans and monitoring execution.

What is cost estimation for plan execution and when do I need it?

Cost estimation for plan execution provides a financial preview before running a development workflow. You need it to ensure efficient and controlled execution by checking costs against your budget before committing to an operation.

Does plan execution work with pre-defined markdown files?

Yes, plan execution works with pre-defined markdown files like 'Phase-1-AUTH-PLAN.md'. The orchestrator reads these hardened plans to execute structured software development workflows with validation.

What details are included in plan execution results?

Plan execution results provide a summary including the slice count, pass/fail status, and total cost. This allows you to verify the outcome and expenditure of your software development workflow.
