execute-plan

name	execute-plan
description	Use when a plan exists and needs to be executed or continued. Reads the plan, works task by task, commits after each, and pauses at phase boundaries.

Execute or Continue Plan

Plan Reference

Start or continue executing this plan: $ARGUMENTS

Execution Workflow

1. Read the plan — find the next incomplete phase (first - [ ])
2. Work task by task — complete one subtask at a time, commit after each
3. Update the plan — mark tasks - [x] in the same commit as the code change
4. Run checks at phase end — go test ./...
5. Pause at phase boundaries — stop at the end of each phase for user review unless specified otherwise

Task Execution

For each task:

1. Implement the change
2. Update the plan: change - [ ] to - [x]
3. Commit both code changes AND plan update together
4. Move to the next task

Parallel Tasks

If the plan contains parallel notation:

**Parallel Tasks: 2b, 2c**
- [ ] 2b: Task one
- [ ] 2c: Task two

Execute these simultaneously using multiple agents, then commit each separately.

For parallel phases (**Parallel Phases: 2,3**), spawn agents for each phase and work them concurrently.

Commit Format

• Plain text only — no title/body separation
• Maximum 5 lines
• No "Co-Authored-By:" or "Generated with" lines

Naming convention — phase number + letter:

1a: Add Cell and Axis structs
1b: Add Workbook and Sheet structs
2a: Implement text format parser

Every commit includes the checkmark update to the plan file.

Phase Completion

At the end of each phase:

1. Run tests – go test ./...
2. Fix any failures before moving on
3. Stop and report — summarize what was completed, what's next

Handling Blockers

1. Don't skip the task — stop and address it
2. Document the blocker in your response
3. Ask for guidance if resolution is unclear
4. Update the plan if scope changes are needed

Progress Reports

When pausing or completing, report:

• Completed: Tasks finished this session
• Current status: Where execution stopped
• Next up: What comes next
• Blockers: Any issues encountered
• Plan location: Path to the plan file

Plan Completion

When all tasks in a plan are marked - [x], the plan is complete. Run /manage-plans to archive it to plans/archive/.
