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
- •Read plan file completely
- •Review critically - identify any questions or concerns
- •If concerns: Raise them before starting
- •If no concerns: Create todo list and proceed
Step 2: Execute Batch
Default: First 3 tasks
For each task:
- •Mark as in-progress
- •Follow each step exactly (plan has bite-sized steps)
- •Run verifications as specified
- •Mark as completed
- •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:
- •Run full test suite
- •Use @code-reviewer agent for final review
- •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
