Test it
Using "executing-plans". Execute the implementation plan from IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
Expected outcome:
I'm using the executing-plans skill to implement this plan. I've reviewed the plan and have no concerns. Starting execution of batch 1 (tasks 1-3): [Task 1 completed with verification], [Task 2 completed with verification], [Task 3 completed with verification]. Batch 1 complete. Ready for feedback.
Using "executing-plans". Continue with the next batch after approval
Expected outcome:
Executing batch 2 (tasks 4-6). All tasks completed successfully with verifications passing. Implementation summary: [list of changes]. Ready for feedback.
Security Audit
SafeStatic analyzer flagged a potential weak cryptographic algorithm at SKILL.md:3. After evaluation, this is a FALSE POSITIVE - line 3 contains only a description string in YAML front matter with no cryptographic code. The skill is pure documentation describing a workflow process with no code execution, network access, or dangerous operations.
Detected Patterns
Quality Score
What You Can Build
Large Feature Implementation
Execute multi-step feature development with architect oversight at each stage
Codebase Refactoring
Systematic refactoring with review checkpoints to prevent regressions
Migration Projects
Execute database or platform migrations with validation at each batch
Try These Prompts
I have an implementation plan ready. Please use the executing-plans skill to execute it in batches. Load the plan from [PLAN_FILE], review it for any concerns, then execute the first batch of tasks.
Execute this plan with batches of [N] tasks at a time. After each batch, report progress and wait for my approval before continuing to the next batch.
Before executing this plan, please review it critically and identify any potential issues, gaps, or concerns. Raise any problems before starting execution.
If you encounter any blockers during execution, stop immediately and report the issue with details about what is blocking progress. Do not attempt to work around blockers without approval.
Best Practices
- Always review the plan critically before starting execution to catch gaps early
- Stop immediately when encountering blockers rather than guessing solutions
- Provide clear progress reports after each batch with verification output
Avoid
- Skipping verification steps specified in the plan
- Continuing past blockers without raising them for review
- Executing all tasks without intermediate review checkpoints
