Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Documentation

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 in_progress
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."
REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers: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
