What is the Executing Plans skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code designed to follow a written implementation plan step-by-step with built-in review checkpoints and verification stages.

How does it handle the end of a development cycle?

Once all tasks are completed, it automatically triggers the finishing-a-development-branch sub-skill to verify tests, present final options, and finalize the work.

When does this skill stop execution?

The skill stops immediately if it hits a blocker, fails a verification test, encounters an unclear instruction, or completes a designated batch of tasks.

How many tasks does the skill execute at once?

By default, it processes tasks in batches of three. This allows for regular progress reports and gives the developer a chance to provide feedback before the next set of tasks begins.

Do I need a plan file to use this skill?

Yes, the skill is designed to load and review an existing plan file. It evaluates the plan critically for concerns before proceeding with any implementation.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements structured development plans through systematic batch execution and stakeholder feedback cycles.

About

The Executing Plans skill provides a disciplined framework for Claude to follow multi-step implementation plans with high precision. It ensures architectural integrity by breaking down complex roadmaps into manageable batches, requiring a critical review before starting and providing transparent progress reports after each set of tasks. This skill is essential for complex features where frequent human-in-the-loop checkpoints and strict adherence to a pre-defined strategy are necessary to avoid technical debt and logic errors.

Key Features

Mandatory verification steps for every completed task
Critical pre-execution plan review to identify logical gaps or missing dependencies
Standardized checkpoint reporting for immediate human feedback
Batch-based task execution to maintain steady, verifiable progress
6 GitHub stars
Automated hand-off to development branch finalization workflows

Use Cases

Iteratively building out new features with multiple sub-components and dependencies
Following strictly sequenced bug-fix roadmaps that require verification at every stage
Executing complex architectural migrations based on a pre-approved design document
