executing-plans

Execute a written implementation plan with critical review and task checkpoints.

- Requires loading and critically reviewing the plan before execution; raises concerns with the human partner if issues are identified

- Executes tasks sequentially, marking progress and running verifications as specified in the plan

- Stops immediately on blockers (missing dependencies, test failures, unclear instructions) rather than guessing; asks for clarification

- Integrates with git-worktrees for isolated workspaces and finishing-a-development-branch to complete the work after all tasks verify

- Works best on platforms with subagent support; recommends subagent-driven-development skill as the preferred alternative when available

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 Superpowers 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 superpowers:subagent-driven-development instead of this skill.

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

- Read plan file

- Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan

- If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting

- If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed

Step 2: Execute Tasks
