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."
Quick Reference
| Step | Action | Exit Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Load + Review | Concerns raised OR TodoWrite created |
| 2 | Execute Batch | 3 tasks complete + verified |
| 3 | Report | Show results, say "Ready for feedback" |
| 4 | Continue | Apply feedback, next batch |
| 5 | Complete | Use finishing-a-development-branch |

subagent-driven-development
Sequential subagent execution with two-stage review gates for implementation plans. Use when executing multi-task plans in current session, when tasks need fresh subagent context to avoid pollution, when formal review cycles (spec compliance then code quality) are required between tasks, or when you need diff-based validation of each task before proceeding.
9test-driven-development
Red-green-refactor development methodology requiring verified test coverage. Use for feature implementation, bugfixes, refactoring, or any behavior changes where tests must prove correctness.
7finishing-a-development-branch
Git branch completion workflow. Use when implementation is complete, tests pass, and a feature branch needs to be integrated via merge, pull request, or cleanup.
7using-git-worktrees
Git worktree–based workspace isolation for parallel or non-disruptive development. Use when work must occur without modifying or interfering with the current working tree.
5systematic-debugging
Root cause analysis for debugging. Use when bugs, test failures, or unexpected behavior have non-obvious causes, or after multiple fix attempts have failed.
5writing-plans
Structured implementation planning for multi-step development tasks. Use when you have a spec or requirements and need to break work into executable steps.
