About executing-plans

A skill for reviewing and carrying out an implementation plan task by task. It requires checking the plan first, running specified verifications, and stopping to ask when blocked.

Key features

  1. 01Critical plan review
  2. 02Task-by-task execution
  3. 03Specified verification steps
  4. 04Blocker and clarification handling
  5. 05Development-branch completion workflow

Use cases

  1. 01Executing a written development plan
  2. 02Checking tasks and tests as work proceeds
  3. 03Pausing when instructions or verification are unclear

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/lucianghinda/rubypowers --skill executing-plans

After installing, type/executing-plansin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

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 RubyPowers works much better with access to subagents. The quality of its work will be significantly higher if run on a platform with subagent support (such as Claude Code or Codex). If subagents are available, use rubypowers:subagent-driven-development instead of this skill.

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan
  1. Read plan file
  2. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan
  3. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting
  4. If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed
Step 2: Execute 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
Step 3: Complete Development

After all tasks complete and verified:

  • Announce: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."
  • REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use rubypowers:finishing-a-development-branch
  • Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice

When to Stop and Ask for Help

STOP executing immediately when:

  • Hit a blocker (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear)
  • Plan has critical gaps preventing starting
  • You don't understand an instruction
  • Verification fails repeatedly

Ask for clarification rather than guessing.

When to Revisit Earlier Steps

Return to Review (Step 1) when:

  • Partner updates the plan based on your feedback
  • Fundamental approach needs rethinking

Don't force through blockers - stop and ask.

Remember

  • Review plan critically first
  • Follow plan steps exactly
  • Don't skip verifications
  • Reference skills when plan says to
  • Stop when blocked, don't guess
  • Never start implementation on main/master branch without explicit user consent

Integration

Required workflow skills:

  • rubypowers:using-git-worktrees - REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting
  • rubypowers:writing-plans - Creates the plan this skill executes
  • rubypowers:finishing-a-development-branch - Complete development after all tasks
