What this skill does
Executing Plans Overview Load plan, review critically, execute tasks in batches, report for review between batches. Core principle: Batch execution with checkpoints for architect review. Announce at start: "I'm using the Executing Plans skill to implement this plan." The Process Step 1: Load and Review Plan 1. Read plan file 2. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan 3. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting 4. If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed Step 2: Execute Batch Default: First 3 tasks For each task: 1. Mark as inprogress 2. Follow each step exactly (plan has bite-sized steps) 3. Run verifications as specified 4. Mark as completed Step 3: Report When batch complete: Show what was implemented Show verification output Say: "Ready for feedback." Step 4: Continue Based on feedback: Apply changes if needed Execute next batch Repeat until complete Step 5: Complete Development After all tasks complete and verified: Announce: "I'm using the Finishing a Development Branch skill to complete this work." Switch to skills/collaboration/finishing-a-development-branch Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice When to Stop and Ask for Help STOP executing immediately when: Hit a blocker mid-batch (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear) Plan has critical gaps preventing starting You don't understand an instruction Verification fails repeatedly Ask for clarification rather than guessing. When to Revisit Earlier Steps Return to Review (Step 1) when: Partner updates the plan based on your feedback Fundamental approach needs rethinking Don't force through blockers - stop and ask. Remember Review plan critically first Follow plan steps exactly Don't skip verifications Reference skills when plan says to Between batches: just report and wait Stop when blocked, don't guess
