harness:executing-plans

What problem does it solve?

It turns a written implementation plan into a controlled, verifiable execution session so work doesn’t drift, skip required checks, or proceed without clear alignment to scope and acceptance criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Plan-first execution with critical review: Loads the plan, identifies questions or concerns, and pauses for partner alignment before starting when needed.
• Step-accurate task execution: Executes each task by following bite-sized steps exactly as written in the plan, updating task states through in_progress to completed.
• Rigid scope and verification guardrails: Enforces that every task traces to features.json acceptance criteria and that out-of-scope items trigger an explicit pause/ask; also emphasizes running gates after each task and stopping when verification fails.
• Completion handoff to the finishing workflow: After tasks and verification, delegates the finalization and branch completion to the required finishing sub-skill.

Quick Start

Use the harness:executing-plans skill when you have a plan you want executed in a separate session with checkpoints and scope validation.
