plan-loop

Plan Loop Command

Execute a plan file iteratively until all tasks are complete AND exit criteria pass. Requires a plan file.

Note: Loop and swarm are interchangeable - swarm is just faster when tasks can run in parallel. Both enforce exit criteria and sync state.

Uses Claude Code's built-in Task Management System for dependency tracking and visual progress (ctrl+t).

IMPORTANT: The plan file is your source of truth. Exit Criteria MUST pass before the loop will end.

Supported Plan Types

This command works with plans from:

• /plan-creator - Implementation plans
• /bug-plan-creator - Bug fix plans
• /code-quality-plan-creator - LSP-powered quality plans

Arguments

• <plan_path> (required): Path to the plan file
• --max-iterations N (optional): Maximum iterations before stopping (default: unlimited)

Instructions

Step 1: Read the Plan (Only)

Read the plan file and extract tasks. DO NOT read other files, grep, or explore the codebase - just parse the plan. Never spawn sub-agents or delegate work — do ALL implementation directly yourself.

1. Files to Edit - existing files that need modification
2. Files to Create - new files to create
3. Implementation Plan - per-file implementation instructions
4. Requirements - acceptance criteria
5. Exit Criteria - verification script and success conditions
6. Dependency Graph - file dependency phases for execution ordering

Step 2: Create Task Graph

Create a task for each work item and build an ID map as you go:

TaskCreate({ "subject": "Create auth types", ... })        // → task "1"
TaskCreate({ "subject": "Implement auth middleware", ... }) // → task "2"
TaskCreate({ "subject": "Add route protection", ... })     // → task "3"
TaskCreate({ "subject": "Run exit criteria", ... })        // → task "4"

Full TaskCreate per item:

TaskCreate({
  "subject": "Implement auth middleware",
  "description": "Full implementation details from plan - self-contained",
  "activeForm": "Implementing auth middleware"
})
