Junior Developer Implementation

Execute each prescribed step in order, running tests and verification checks after each one. Log outcomes, flag blockers, and report any deviations from the plan to maintain transparency and catch issues early.

Run tests, type-checking, and linting after each step. Verification discipline ensures code meets technical requirements and catches errors before they propagate, providing clear evidence that each step succeeded.

Log deviations and blockers transparently as you encounter them, noting the reason and impact. This creates a clear execution trail for review and helps senior developers understand where plan assumptions broke down.

No. Plan fidelity requires executing prescribed steps without significant architectural changes. Unauthorized changes bypass the senior developer's design and can introduce regressions or misaligned decisions.

Generate execution logs capturing each step, verification results, decision points, and any deviations. Clear reporting creates an audit trail that shows faithful execution and helps identify where clarification or guidance is needed.

Use plan-following when an experienced developer has provided detailed steps for a specific task. This ensures consistency, catches edge cases they've anticipated, and trains you on their reasoning through structured execution and verification.
