Executing Plans

When you've written out an implementation plan and want Claude to execute it methodically, this skill provides the structure. It works in batches of three tasks by default, with mandatory review checkpoints between each batch. Claude loads your plan, flags any concerns upfront, executes the steps exactly as written, runs verifications, then stops to show you what happened before continuing. The forcing function here is the checkpoint discipline. Instead of plowing through an entire plan and potentially compounding errors, you get regular opportunities to course correct. It also chains into the finishing-a-development-branch skill when all tasks are complete, so there's a defined handoff to wrap up the work properly.
