name: execute-plan description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "execute the plan", "run the plan", "implement the plan", or wants to follow through on a plan created by /write-plan. version: 0.1.0 superpowers: executing-plans

Execute Plan - Execution Phase

Purpose

Follow a plan generated by /write-plan sequentially, executing tasks efficiently while staying token-efficient through batching and subagents.

Prerequisites

• A plan file exists in docs/plans/
• The plan follows the standard format from /write-plan

Process

1. Load the Plan

• Read the most recent plan from docs/plans/ or ask user which plan to execute
• Parse tasks and their current completion status
• Identify where to resume if partially complete

2. Execute Tasks Sequentially

For each task:

1. Announce - State which task is being executed
2. Implement - Make the code changes as specified
3. Verify - Run the verification command
4. Fix - If verification fails, fix before proceeding
5. Commit - Create the commit with the specified message
6. Update Plan - Mark task complete in the plan file

3. Batching Strategy

Group related tasks when efficient:

• Multiple small edits to the same file
• Sequential test additions
• Related refactoring steps

But always:

• Verify after each logical batch
• Commit at natural boundaries
• Never skip verification steps

4. Subagent Delegation

Use Task tool with subagents for heavy operations:

• Running full test suites
• Complex refactoring tasks
• Multi-file search and replace
• Build and verification steps

This keeps the main context lean and token-efficient.

5. Progress Tracking

After each task or batch:

• Update the checkbox in the plan file
• Add notes if any deviations occurred
• Report progress to user

6. Error Handling

If a task fails:

• Stop execution
• Report the failure clearly
• Suggest remediation
• Wait for user guidance before continuing

Resume Support

When resuming a partially complete plan:

• Read the plan file
• Find first unchecked task
• Summarize completed work
• Continue from where left off

Completion

When all tasks are done:

• Mark plan as complete
• Run final verification (full test suite)
• Summarize what was accomplished
• Suggest next steps (PR, review, etc.)
