GSD Executor

To execute a development plan with atomic Git commits, you use a PLAN.md file containing task definitions and verification criteria. The executor processes each task individually, pausing at checkpoints for human verification, and commits changes atomically to ensure reversibility.

Deviation handling in state management automatically manages unexpected changes during task execution. When a task deviates from the plan, the executor pauses execution, manages the project state across runs, and waits for user verification before proceeding to the next checkpoint.

Yes, a Git environment is required to run checkpoint-based task execution. The executor assumes a Git repository is present to perform atomic commit operations for each task, ensuring that every executed step is tracked and individually reversible.

You pause software development tasks for human verification by using checkpoint protocols defined in your PLAN.md file. The executor stops at designated checkpoints during task execution, allowing you to review the state and verify criteria before resuming.

The best way to manage state across multiple CI/CD task executions is by using an executor that supports atomic commits and checkpointing. It tracks the project state continuously, handling deviations and pausing for human verification at defined checkpoints.

Limitations of automated plan execution include the requirement for a PLAN.md file with explicit task definitions and verification criteria. Execution pauses at checkpoints for human verification, meaning it cannot run fully autonomously without manual review steps.
