Implementing
Overview
Execute an existing plan exactly as written, with verification and checkpoints. If the plan is wrong or unclear, stop and ask to change it.
When to Use
- •A plan document exists and is approved
- •The work needs disciplined, step-by-step execution
Skip if: there is no plan (write one first) or the task is trivial.
Quick Reference
- •Read the full plan.
- •Call out blockers or questions.
- •Track progress per task.
- •Verify each task before moving on.
- •Check in after a small batch.
Execution Workflow
- •
Load the plan
- •Read end to end.
- •Identify unclear steps or missing info.
- •
Confirm before starting
- •If anything is unclear, ask and wait.
- •Do not "fix" the plan silently.
- •
Execute tasks in order
- •One task at a time.
- •Follow steps exactly.
- •Run the listed verification.
- •Mark the task complete.
- •
Checkpoint
- •After 2-3 tasks (or any risky task), summarize:
- •What changed
- •Verification results
- •Open questions
- •Wait for approval before continuing.
- •After 2-3 tasks (or any risky task), summarize:
- •
Finish
- •Run any final verification from the plan.
- •Report completion and remaining risks.
Rules
- •Do not add scope or extra features
- •Do not reorder tasks unless the plan says so
- •Stop and ask if blocked or if verification fails
Common Mistakes
- •Skipping verification to "save time"
- •Changing the plan without approval
- •Executing multiple tasks in parallel without permission
