When & Why to Use This Skill

The 'execute-plan' skill enables Claude to perform structured task execution with rigorous status tracking and progress management. By reading from specific plan files, it automates the workflow of complex, multi-step projects, ensuring every task is addressed, updated (from PENDING to DONE), and verified. This skill is ideal for users needing high-reliability execution of long-running or intricate AI agent tasks.

Use Cases

  • 1. Complex Software Refactoring: Systematically execute multi-file code changes while tracking the status of each module's update to prevent architectural inconsistencies.
  • 2. Content Production Pipelines: Manage end-to-end content creation workflows, ensuring research, drafting, SEO optimization, and final formatting are completed in order.
  • 3. Technical SOP Execution: Follow detailed Standard Operating Procedures for system migrations or infrastructure setups, providing a transparent audit trail of completed steps.
  • 4. Multi-Stage Data Analysis: Orchestrate sequential data cleaning, processing, and reporting tasks, ensuring that dependencies are respected and progress is documented.

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
