Can I execute multiple tasks at once?

Yes, the skill generates batches of tasks that can be executed in parallel, provided they have no mutual dependencies and do not modify the same files.

What plan formats does this skill support?

It supports Markdown (.md) using various header and list patterns, as well as YAML (.yaml, .yml) files with structured task fields.

Does it support Test-Driven Development?

Absolutely. For each task, it follows a strict cycle of creating a failing test (Red), implementing the minimum code to pass (Green), and then refactoring for quality.

What is the confidence scoring system?

It evaluates tasks based on file existence, description clarity, and dependency logic to provide an overall plan confidence score. If the score is too low, it suggests adjustments before starting.

How does it handle task dependencies?

The skill combines explicit user-defined dependencies with implicit detection (like shared files or imported modules) and uses topological sorting to determine the correct execution order.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates complex development tasks through structured plan parsing, dependency analysis, and batched TDD execution.

The Execute Plan skill provides a robust framework for Claude Code to handle multi-step development tasks by transforming high-level plans into actionable task lists. It supports both Markdown and YAML formats, automatically detecting dependencies, inferring task complexity, and calculating optimized execution batches. By utilizing topological sorting to manage task order and enforcing a strict Red-Green-Refactor TDD cycle for implementation, it ensures that complex software features are built reliably with automated validation and comprehensive progress reporting.
