executing-plans

Installation

Summary

Execute a written implementation plan with critical review and task checkpoints.

Requires loading and critically reviewing the plan before execution; raises concerns with the human partner if issues are identified
Executes tasks sequentially, marking progress and running verifications as specified in the plan
Stops immediately on blockers (missing dependencies, test failures, unclear instructions) rather than guessing; asks for clarification
Integrates with git-worktrees for isolated workspaces and finishing-a-development-branch to complete the work after all tasks verify
Works best on platforms with subagent support; recommends subagent-driven-development skill as the preferred alternative when available

Executing Plans

Overview

Load plan, review critically, execute all tasks, report when complete.

Announce at start: "I'm using the executing-plans skill to implement this plan."

Note: Tell your human partner that Superpowers works much better with access to subagents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Codex App, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI all qualify; see the per-platform tool refs in ../using-superpowers/references/). If subagents are available, use superpowers:subagent-driven-development instead of this skill.

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

Ensure an isolated workspace: use superpowers:using-git-worktrees to create one or verify the existing one
Read plan file
Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan
If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting
If no concerns: Create todos for the plan items and proceed
