SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns a written implementation plan into completed work by loading the plan, reviewing it critically, executing each task in order, and stopping to ask for help instead of guessing when blocked. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Reads the plan file first, raises questions or concerns with your human partner before writing any code, and creates todos for each plan item. - Step-by-Step Execution: Marks each task in progress, follows the plan's bite-sized steps exactly, runs the specified verifications, and marks tasks completed. - Safe Stop Conditions: Halts immediately on blockers such as missing dependencies, failing tests, or unclear instructions, and never starts implementation on main/master without explicit consent. - Use Case: You have a multi-task refactoring plan written in a previous session. Hand it to this Skill in a fresh session and it executes every task with verifications, then hands off to the finishing-a-development-branch workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to execute the implementation plan saved in your project file, following each task with its verification steps.

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

Provide the written plan file and invoke this Skill. It loads the plan, reviews it critically, creates todos for each item, then executes tasks one by one, running the verifications specified in the plan before marking each task complete.

What should an implementation plan contain before executing it?▼

The plan should contain bite-sized tasks with exact steps and explicit verification commands. This Skill reviews the plan critically first and raises concerns with you before starting if anything is unclear or missing.

What happens when a plan step fails or is blocked?▼

Execution stops immediately when a blocker appears, such as a missing dependency, failing test, or unclear instruction. The Skill asks for clarification rather than guessing, and never forces through blockers.

Can I execute a plan directly on the main branch?▼

No. The Skill requires an isolated workspace, typically a git worktree, and never starts implementation on main or master without explicit user consent. It verifies or creates the isolated workspace before executing tasks.

When should I use subagent-driven development instead of plan execution?▼

If your platform supports subagents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI), the Skill recommends using subagent-driven development instead, since it delegates plan tasks to subagents for better parallelism and isolation.
