Skill1.5k starsChanged 4 days agoMITView on GitHub
Execute a checked-in implementation plan for this repo phase by phase. Commits land once per completed phase locally; push and CI monitoring run once after every phase is done (not after each phase). Use when the user provides a concrete plan path and wants end-to-end implementation, phase audits, plan updates, commits, push, and CI monitoring. Do not use for creating a plan, one-off fixes without a checked-in plan, or read-only review work.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 21 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Execute Plan
Purpose
Use this skill to execute an existing repo plan without collapsing the work into one giant unreviewed change. The unit of progress is one completed phase at a time.
Use When
- A concrete checked-in plan path exists (commonly
docs/plans/...or a team-agreed path;README/plans/is gitignored here for local-only drafts). - The plan is implementation-ready.
- The user wants the full implementation loop, not just discussion.
Do Not Use When
- No checked-in plan exists yet.
- The request is a one-off fix without a real plan.
- The request is planning, brainstorming, or read-only review.
Authority Model
- Explicit invocation of
$execute-plancounts as authorization for this workflow's git side effects. Direct naming also counts, for example "use execute-plan":- During phases (step 4): narrow phase commits on the current branch
only. You may
git fetchand merge/rebase locally to integrateorigin/mainwhen needed—do notgit pushtooriginand do not run the fullgit-pushskill until all phases are complete. - After all phases (step 5): one
git-pushpass: integrate upstream, push the branch, monitor GitHub Actions, and fix failures until green.
- During phases (step 4): narrow phase commits on the current branch
only. You may
- If
execute-planwas routed implicitly or inferred rather than invoked directly, it may prepare local implementation work but must stop before the first commit or push and explain why. - At the start of the workflow, state that
execute-planis running: phase commits first, then a single push/CI tail—unless the user opts out of remote writes.
Procedure
- Read references/index.md first.
- Read the target plan and linked docs (
README.md,README/guides/,README/skills/, andREADME/notes/if present) before changing code. - Refuse to start if the plan is missing, too vague to execute honestly, or still requires planning work.
- Execute one phase at a time:
- 4a. Execute the current phase. Implement only the active phase scope. Make it perfect. No god modules. No bugs. Just elegant, modular code.
- 4b. Audit the execution with
phase-audit. Prefer delegated review when the runtime supports it cleanly; otherwise run the same checklist locally against the canonical rubric. Double-check the work and fix findings before moving on. Make it perfect. - 4c. Update the plan. Make the phase checkboxes match reality before calling the phase complete.
- 4d. Commit only your changes. Stage only the files for the completed
phase (narrower than the default
git-commitwhole-tree staging) and follow thegit-commitskill for the commit message (what and why). Stop after the commit—do not push. Per-phase push is an anti-pattern here.
- After all phases are complete:
- follow
git-pushfor syncing withorigin, pushing the branch, watching GitHub Actions, and fixing failures until green (phase commits stay narrower than defaultgit-commit;git-pushstill applies merge/push/CI loop).

Worktree Rules
- Ignore unrelated dirty files unless they directly conflict with the active phase.
- Never revert unrelated user work.
- Stop only when an existing change creates a real safety or correctness conflict with the current phase.
Audit Contract
Before each phase commit, explicitly verify:
- the phase goal is actually complete
- the plan checkboxes match the implementation
- obvious edge cases are handled
- tests or checks are appropriate for the change
- the current phase is commit-ready
Boundaries
- Do not create a new plan inside this workflow.
- Do not silently skip the audit step.
- Do not push to
originbetween phase commits. Reservegit pushand thegit-pushskill for step 5 (after every phase is implemented and committed), unless the user explicitly asks for a different cadence. - Do not push with known failing CI unless the user explicitly overrides that rule.
Canonical Docs
Read references/index.md first. It maps the shared workflow guide, the phase audit rubric, and the artifacts needed to execute a plan cleanly.
Handoff Rules
- Hand off to
phase-auditwhen clean delegated review is available. - Hand off to
create-planonly if the user actually needs a new plan instead of execution.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
