implement-plan

To execute an approved implementation plan without scope drift, use a plan-driven approach that reads the approved plan, checks completed items, and continues from the next unfinished task with minimal code changes.

The best way to implement a technical plan while preserving architecture is scoped implementation, which follows established design patterns, edits minimally, and updates only what the plan specifically requires.

To verify code changes during task execution match the original ticket plan, run targeted tests and checks, report mismatches clearly, and stop implementation when the plan and codebase diverge.

Yes, you can use automated task execution for completing the next pending phase of a software engineering ticket by handing over the plan path and asking the system to implement the unfinished task.

When the codebase diverges from the approved plan during implementation, the execution stops, reports mismatches clearly, and prevents further code changes to avoid expanding scope or causing replanning.
