Are minor code fixes allowed without blocking?

Yes, syntax corrections, variable naming, and internal code organization are allowed as long as they do not change the underlying approach or architecture.

What is the Following-Plans skill used for?

It is used to ensure that AI agents follow a pre-defined implementation plan exactly, preventing them from making unauthorized architectural or logic changes without human approval.

When does an agent report a BLOCKED status?

An agent reports BLOCKED whenever a task requires a different algorithm, library, data structure, or API design than what was specified in the original plan.

How does this skill prevent scope creep?

It includes a 'Rationalization Defense' that identifies common excuses agents use to deviate from a plan, such as finding a 'simpler way,' and forces a stop-and-report workflow instead.

Can I use this skill for manual coding?

While designed for AI agents, the decision tree provides an excellent framework for human developers to ensure they stay aligned with technical specifications during implementation.

生産性とワークフロー

Enforces strict adherence to implementation plans by providing an algorithmic decision tree to prevent unauthorized architectural deviations and scope creep.

概要

The Following-Plans skill provides a critical governance layer for AI agents during the execution of software development tasks. By utilizing a standardized decision tree, it forces agents to distinguish between minor syntax corrections and significant architectural shifts. This prevents agents from making silent 'simpler' changes that bypass design decisions, ensuring that all deviations are explicitly reported and approved. It is an essential tool for maintaining technical integrity and preventing unauthorized refactoring during the implementation phase.
