SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams load a written implementation plan, review it for concerns, and execute tasks in controlled batches with review checkpoints and reporting between batches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch execution with a defined start batch and per-task verifications
  • Plan review workflow: read, question, and create a TodoWrite before starting
  • Progress reporting between batches with completion announcements and escalation to human partner when blocked

Quick Start

Provide a plan file and start executing the plan to begin batched execution with checkpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan in controlled batches with verification checkpoints?▼

To execute an implementation plan in controlled batches, you load a written plan file, review it for concerns, create a TodoWrite list, and then run tasks in defined batches with per-task verifications and progress reporting between each batch.

What is batched plan execution with review checkpoints in agile engineering workflows?▼

Batched plan execution with review checkpoints is an engineering workflow that breaks a written implementation plan into controlled start batches, requiring per-task verification and human partner escalation when blocked before proceeding to the next batch.

How do I start executing a plan file using a batch execution workflow?▼

You start batch execution by providing a written plan file. The workflow reads the plan, questions potential concerns, generates a TodoWrite task list, and begins executing the defined start batch with per-task verifications and progress reporting.

Can I escalate issues to a human partner when blocked during batched plan execution?▼

Yes, you can escalate issues to a human partner when blocked. The batched execution workflow includes progress reporting between batches and automatically escalates to a human partner when it encounters a blocker it cannot resolve.

Does batched plan execution work with writing plans and finishing development branches?▼

Yes, batched plan execution integrates with related skills such as writing-plans to load the initial implementation strategy and finishing-a-development-branch to complete the workflow after all batches are verified and executed.

What are the limitations of executing an implementation plan in batched steps?▼

The batched execution approach requires a pre-written implementation plan file to function and depends on manual review checkpoints between batches, meaning it cannot generate plans autonomously or bypass the staged verification process.
