Can I use this for any coding task?

This skill is best used when you have a written implementation plan (often created by the writing-plans skill) that contains discrete, bite-sized steps.

How many tasks does the skill execute at once?

By default, the skill executes tasks in batches of three. This provides enough progress to be meaningful while ensuring frequent enough checkpoints for human review.

What happens if Claude encounters a bug mid-batch?

The skill includes a strict 'Stop and Ask' policy. If Claude hits a blocker, a test failure, or an unclear instruction, it will stop immediately and request clarification rather than guessing.

Does this skill work with Git?

Yes, it is designed to work alongside the superpowers:using-git-worktrees skill to ensure all plan execution happens in an isolated, safe workspace.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements multi-step development plans through systematic batch execution, critical review checkpoints, and automated verification.

The executing-plans skill provides a disciplined framework for Claude to carry out complex development tasks from a written implementation plan. It moves away from 'one-shot' coding by enforcing a batch-based workflow where the AI executes three tasks at a time, runs verifications, and pauses for human feedback. This ensures that architectural integrity is maintained and that any deviations or blockers are addressed immediately rather than compounding errors over a long session.
