# Executing Plans ## Overview Load plan, review critically, execute all tasks, report when complete. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the compose:execute skill to implement this plan." **Note:** Compose works much better with access to subagents. If subagents are available, use compose:subagent instead of this skill for significantly higher quality. ## 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 a task per plan task with the `task` tool and proceed ### Step 2: Execute Tasks For each task: 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: Complete Development After all tasks complete and verified: - Use compose:report to write the final report (summarizes what was built in human-readable form) - Report skill will transition to compose:merge on completion ## When to Stop and Ask for Help **STOP executing immediately when:** - Hit a blocker (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear) - Plan has critical gaps preventing starting - You don't understand an instruction - Verification fails repeatedly **Use `compose:ask` to present the blocker and options rather than describing it in free text.** If no user is available, resolve the blocker with your best judgment and continue. ## When to Revisit Earlier Steps **Return to Review (Step 1) when:** - Partner updates the plan based on your feedback - Fundamental approach needs rethinking **Don't force through blockers** - stop and ask. ## Remember - Review plan critically first - Follow plan steps exactly - Don't skip verifications - Reference skills when plan says to - Stop when blocked, don't guess - Never start implementation on main/master branch without explicit user consent ## Integration **Required workflow skills:** - **compose:worktree** - Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing) - **compose:plan** - Creates the plan this skill executes - **compose:report** - Write final report after all tasks complete - **compose:merge** - Complete development (invoked by report skill)
