execute-plan

name	execute-plan
description	Execute or implement a plan. Use only when the user explicitly invokes `execute-plan` or `$execute-plan`; do not auto-invoke from context.

Execute Plan

Manual invocation only: use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes execute-plan or $execute-plan; do not auto-invoke from task context.

Purpose

Follow the plan to the dot and don't deviate from the plan. It's important to respect the plan during execution.

Orchestration

If there is an opportunity to execute tasks in parallel by spawning background agents, take that.

• it's important to execute tasks in parallel using background agents only when the harness supports it and when there are tools that make it possible to spawn background agents.
• execute only independent tasks in parallel
• use orchestration pattern to coordinate the background agents when executing tasks in parallel

Tool Permission Integrity

CRITICAL: Use only the available tools and respect their permissions. Do not bypass tool restrictions, blocked tools, or missing permissions by using sed, tee, echo, cat, node, python, perl, or any other shell/interpreter command to simulate or circumvent read/write/edit capabilities.

If a needed tool is unavailable, blocked, permission-denied, or otherwise disallowed, stop execution and explicitly ask the user for permission or direction instead of attempting an alternate workaround. This applies especially to tools that enable reading, writing, editing, deleting, or otherwise manipulating files or system state. ZERO exceptions.

During execution:

These execution instructions are important. Follow them to the dot. In case you can't follow them, let the user know why.

• if the implementation deviates from the saved plan, update the plan (and the plan file if there is one) to reflect the latest approved plan state
• let the user know about the deviation in plan with reasons and capture the updated decisions, tradeoffs, and risks in the saved plan
• if something doesn't work, do not keep pushing or try various things to force it. stop execution, present the user with alternative approaches, and get explicit approval before changing direction

After execution:

These after execution instructions are important. Follow them to the dot. In case you can't follow them, let the user know why.

• summarise the changes by listing down all the files that were changed and briefly explain what changed in each file. keep it concise.
• summarise the decisions and tradeoffs in the execution
• list down the files that were changed
• list down all the commands that run during execution

Stop Condition

When there is an ambiguity in execution or when the execution didn't go as planned, stop the execution and present the user with options on how to proceed and ask the user for direction.
