Use when: execute a written implementation plan with checkpoints, verification, and blocker handling.

Goal: turn an approved plan into completed, verified work.

Use for:

  • plan files with ordered implementation steps
  • coding sessions where scope is already agreed
  • carrying work through tests, fixes, and final report

Workflow:

  1. Load the plan and read it critically before editing.
  2. Raise gaps, contradictions, or unsafe steps before starting.
  3. Convert plan steps into a live task list.
  4. Execute one task at a time and mark status as it changes.
  5. Run the verification specified by the plan; add targeted checks if missing.
  6. Stop on blockers instead of guessing through unclear instructions.
  7. Finish with tests, diff summary, and remaining risk.

Stop when:

  • a dependency is missing
  • verification fails repeatedly
  • instructions conflict with repo reality
  • scope expands beyond the approved plan

Rules:

  • do not skip plan review
  • do not claim completion without fresh evidence
  • keep edits scoped to the plan
  • ask only when a blocker cannot be resolved locally
