Executing Plans

Overview

Load plan, review critically, execute tasks in batches, verify after each task.

Core principle: Batch execution with verification checkpoints.

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

1. Read plan file completely
2. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns
3. If concerns: Raise them before starting
4. If no concerns: Create todo list 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
5. Commit

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

After all tasks complete:

1. Run full test suite
2. Use @code-reviewer agent for final review
3. Create summary of what was built

When to Stop and Ask for Help

STOP executing immediately when:

• Hit a blocker mid-batch
• Plan has critical gaps
• You don't understand an instruction
• Verification fails repeatedly

Ask for clarification rather than guessing.

Remember

• Review plan critically first
• Follow plan steps exactly
• Don't skip verifications
• Between batches: just report and wait
• Stop when blocked, don't guess
