SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Written implementation plans often get executed inconsistently, with steps skipped, verifications ignored, or blockers silently worked around. This Skill enforces a disciplined process for loading a plan, reviewing it critically, executing every task in order, and stopping to ask for help instead of guessing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Reads the plan file first and raises questions or concerns with the human partner before any code is written. - Task-by-Task Execution: Tracks each task with TodoWrite, follows bite-sized steps exactly, and runs the verifications specified in the plan. - Stop-on-Blocker Discipline: Halts immediately on missing dependencies, failing tests, or unclear instructions rather than guessing. - Use Case: You have a detailed implementation plan from a planning session. Hand it to this Skill in a fresh session, and it will review the plan, execute every task with verification, and hand off to the finishing-a-development-branch workflow when done. ## Quick Start Use the executing-plans skill to implement the plan in docs/plans/my-feature-plan.md, reviewing it critically first and stopping if you hit any blockers.

Frequently Asked Questions about executing-plans

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan with an AI assistant?▼

Provide the plan file path and invoke the executing-plans skill. It reads the plan, reviews it critically for concerns, then executes each task in order using TodoWrite tracking, running the verifications specified in each step.

What should an implementation plan contain before execution?▼

The plan should contain bite-sized tasks with explicit steps and verification commands. Plans created with the superpowers:writing-plans skill follow this structure, making them directly executable by this skill.

What happens when a task fails during plan execution?▼

Execution stops immediately when a blocker is hit, such as a missing dependency, failing test, or unclear instruction. The skill asks the human partner for clarification rather than guessing or forcing through the problem.

Can I run plan execution without subagent support?▼

Yes, this skill is designed for sessions without subagents. If subagents are available on your platform, the documentation recommends using superpowers:subagent-driven-development instead for higher quality results.

Does plan execution work directly on the main branch?▼

No, the skill never starts implementation on main or master without explicit user consent. It requires setting up an isolated workspace first using the superpowers:using-git-worktrees skill.
