.claude/skills/executing-plans/# Executing Plans ## Overview Load plan, review critically, execute all tasks sequentially, report results. **Core principle:** Continuous execution with stops only for blockers or failures. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the executing-plans skill to implement this plan." ## The Process ### Step 1: Load and Review Plan 1. Read plan file 2. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan 3. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting 4. If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed ### Step 2: Execute All Tasks For each task sequentially: 1. Mark as in_progress 2. Follow each step exactly (plan has bite-sized steps) 3. Run verifications as specified 4. Mark as completed ### Step 3: Capture Out-of-Scope Ideas During implementation, you'll often discover logical next steps that aren't in scope: - "This would be cleaner if we also refactored X" - "Users will probably want Y after this ships" - "There's a performance improvement we could make here" **Don't derail current work.** Instead: 1. Note the idea 2. Add it to the appropriate document's "Future Ideas" section: - Game-related ideas → `docs/GDD.md` - Tool/infrastructure ideas → `docs/PRD.md` - If only one exists, use that one 3. Continue with current task ### Step 4: Final Report After all tasks complete: - Show what was implemented - Show verification output - List any out-of-scope ideas captured (if any) - Summarize any issues encountered along the way - Say: "All tasks complete. Ready for feedback." ### Step 5: Complete Development After all tasks complete and verified: - Announce: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work." - **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch - Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice ## When to Stop and Ask for Help **STOP executing immediately when:** - Hit a blocker (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear) - Plan has
