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

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 When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. Example User request: Use @executing plans for this task: Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints. Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
