Executing Plans

Load the plan, review it critically, execute each task, verify, hand off to branch-finish.

Used by 1 agent

What it does

Executes a written implementation plan with review checkpoints at each step. Reads the plan, raises concerns before starting, creates a todo list, runs each task with its verification, and stops on blockers instead of guessing. Ends by handing off to `finishing-a-development-branch`.

Use it when a plan from `writing-plans` is ready and a fresh session should ship it. Especially valuable in subagent-less environments where linear execution is the only path. If subagents are available, prefer `subagent-driven-development` for parallel workstreams.

Outputs commits against the plan, a verified build at the end, and a branch ready for merge or PR. Pairs with `writing-plans` (the upstream planning skill) and `finishing-a-development-branch` (the downstream merge step).
