Can I use this skill for simple, one-off tasks?

While possible, this skill is specifically optimized for multi-step plans where a roadmap or 'TodoWrite' file has already been established.

How many tasks does Claude execute before stopping for review?

By default, the skill processes the first three tasks in a plan before pausing to report progress and wait for human feedback.

What happens if the plan contains errors?

The first step of the skill is a critical review. Claude will identify and raise concerns with the human partner before any code is written.

What is the primary benefit of the Executing Plans skill?

It prevents AI 'drift' by enforcing checkpoints, ensuring that complex plans are executed in small, verifiable batches with human oversight.

Executes complex implementation plans in controlled batches with integrated human review checkpoints for architectural consistency.

About

The Executing Plans skill provides a structured framework for Claude to carry out multi-step development tasks with precision and oversight. By breaking down a comprehensive implementation plan into manageable batches, the skill ensures that code is verified and reviewed at every stage rather than waiting until the end of a project. This approach is ideal for complex features, large-scale refactors, or any scenario where maintaining a 'human-in-the-loop' architecture is critical for quality assurance and project alignment.

Key Features

Critical plan review and concern flagging prior to execution
