What problem does it solve? Written implementation plans often fail in execution because steps are skipped, verification is vague, or blockers are silently worked around. This Skill enforces a disciplined workflow that loads a plan, critically reviews it, executes each task with verification, and stops to ask when anything is unclear. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Before executing, checks for missing dependencies between steps, vague verification criteria, and unstated environment assumptions, then raises concerns with the user. - Task-by-Task Execution: Marks each task in progress, implements it, runs the specified tests, commits with a message referencing the task number, and pauses every three tasks for a direction check. - Structured Exception Handling: Distinguishes implementation bugs from broken tests and flawed plans, and stops immediately on blockers instead of guessing. - Use Case: You have a five-task plan in docs/plan.md for adding user validation to an API. The Skill reviews the plan, flags an unclear verification step, executes each task with tests and individual commits, and produces a completion report before handing off to branch finishing. ## Quick Start Use the executing-plans skill to load docs/plan.md, review it critically, and execute every task with verification and per-task commits.
