This document is an entrypoint for execution plan authoring. The step-by-step workflow is in
/.system/skills/ssot/repo/execution-plans/execution-plan-authoring-steps/SKILL.md.
Purpose & Scope
Use this workflow when the task is non-trivial, for example:
Multi-step work with dependencies (typically 3+ steps)
Cross-module or cross-scope changes
Risky changes (security, production adjacency, registries, generated artifacts)
Work that needs human checkpoints or approvals
Work likely to span multiple sessions
Do NOT use this workflow for trivial work:
Single-file/single-step changes that can be completed safely in one pass
Changes that do not require approvals, coordination, or durable task state
For trivial work, use a micro plan (3-5 bullets in chat) and proceed without creating full workdocs.
Inputs & Preconditions
Inputs:
Goal statement (what success looks like)
Working scope (module vs integration vs ops vs knowledge vs system)
Read the most local applicable AGENTS.md for the working scope.
Create or open the task's workdocs folder (scenario-local):
Recommended: workdocs/active/T-YYYYMMDD-slug/ with plan.md, context.md, tasks.md.
Steps
See /.system/skills/ssot/repo/execution-plans/execution-plan-authoring-steps/SKILL.md.
