SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a controlled, auditable way to execute a written plan by loading, critically reviewing, and systematically performing each task with verifications and status updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Load and critically review the plan, identifying questions or concerns before starting.
  • If concerns arise, pause and communicate them to the human partner; otherwise proceed to create TodoWrite and execute.
  • Execute each task in sequence, marking as in_progress, performing verifications, and marking as completed.
  • After all tasks complete, announce completion and trigger the finishing-a-development-branch sub-skill for finalization.
  • Integration with required workflow skills: superpowers:using-git-worktrees, superpowers:writing-plans, superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch.

Quick Start

Load a plan file, review it critically, and execute each task exactly as described.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate plan execution with built-in review checkpoints?

Automate plan execution by loading a written plan, critically reviewing tasks for concerns, creating a TodoWrite list, and performing verifications sequentially. The workflow pauses to communicate concerns before proceeding with task implementation.

What is the best way to manage task execution status during development workflow?

Manage task execution status by marking each task as in_progress, performing required verifications, and marking it as completed in sequence. After all tasks finish, announce completion and trigger branch finalization.

Do I need git worktrees to execute development plans in an isolated workspace?

Yes, integrating git worktrees is required to ensure isolated workspaces during plan execution. The workflow depends on sub-skills for using git worktrees, writing plans, and finishing a development branch for clean handoffs.

Can I pause plan execution if I identify concerns during the initial review?

Yes, if concerns arise during the critical plan review, execution pauses and communicates questions to the human partner. If no concerns exist, it proceeds directly to create TodoWrite items and execute tasks.

How does a controlled development workflow finalize tasks after completion?

Controlled development workflow finalizes tasks by announcing completion after all verifications pass and triggering the finishing-a-development-branch sub-skill. This ensures clean handoffs and auditable finalization of the executed plan.
