SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a written implementation plan into working code often goes wrong when steps are skipped, verifications are ignored, or blockers are guessed through. This Skill enforces a disciplined process: load the plan, review it critically, execute every task exactly as written, and stop to ask when blocked. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Critical Plan Review: Reads the plan file first and raises questions or concerns with you before writing any code. - Step-by-Step Task Execution: Tracks each plan item as a todo, marks it in progress, follows the steps exactly, and runs the specified verifications. - Safe Stop Conditions: Halts immediately on blockers, unclear instructions, or repeated verification failures instead of guessing. - Use Case: You have a detailed implementation plan from a prior planning session. Hand it to this Skill in a fresh session and it will set up an isolated git worktree, implement every task, and finish the development branch with tests verified. ## Quick Start Use the executing-plans skill to implement the plan in docs/plans/my-feature-plan.md.

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

Provide the written plan file and invoke the executing-plans skill. It reviews the plan critically, creates todos for each task, follows every step exactly, runs the specified verifications, and reports when all tasks are complete.

What should an implementation plan contain before executing it?▼

The plan should have bite-sized tasks with explicit steps and verification commands. The skill reviews the plan critically first and raises any questions or gaps with you before starting implementation.

Can I execute a plan 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 uses a git worktree setup step before executing tasks.

What happens when plan execution hits a blocker?▼

Execution stops immediately when a dependency is missing, a test fails, or an instruction is unclear. The skill asks for clarification rather than guessing, and returns to plan review if the fundamental approach needs rethinking.

When should I use subagent-driven development instead of executing plans?▼

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 results.
