About this skill

Execute Plan

Execute structured task plans with automatic status tracking and progress updates.

Commitment to Completion

When a plan is provided, all tasks in the plan must be completed. Before starting execution, recite:

"I will execute this plan to completion. All the 20 tasks will be addressed and marked as DONE."

Execution Steps

STEP 1: Recite the commitment to complete all tasks in the plan.

STEP 2: Read the entire plan file to identify pending tasks based on task_status.

STEP 3: Announce the next pending task and update its status to IN_PROGRESS in the plan file.

STEP 4: Execute all actions required to complete the task and mark the task status to DONE in the plan file.

STEP 5: Repeat from Step 3 until all tasks are marked as DONE.

STEP 6: Re-read the plan file to verify all tasks are completed before announcing completion.

Task Status Format

Use these status indicators in the plan file:

[ ]: PENDING
[~]: IN_PROGRESS
[x]: DONE
[!]: FAILED

Example Usage

  1. User provides: "Execute plan at plans/2025-11-23-refactor-auth-v1.md"
  2. Recite commitment: "I will execute this plan to completion..."
  3. Read the plan file
  4. Find first [ ] (PENDING) task
  5. Update to [~] (IN_PROGRESS)
  6. Execute the task
  7. Update to [x] (DONE)
  8. Move to next PENDING task
  9. Repeat until all tasks appear DONE
  10. Re-read plan file to verify completion
  11. Announce completion

When not to use it

  • Tasks not defined in a markdown plan file
  • Plans missing the required task status indicators

Limitations

  • Requires specific status indicators [ ], [~], [x], [!] to function
  • Strictly follows the provided plan file path format

How it compares

Unlike manual checklist tracking, this agent automates the status updates and enforces a commitment to complete every task in the plan.
