execute-plan

execute-plan is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 34 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Batch-execute tasks from the active epic capsule sequentially, with a human checkpoint after each step. Use when user has an approved plan and wants step-by-step oversight.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

execute-plan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Execute Plan

Execute tasks from the active epic (specs/epics/eNN-slug/epic.yaml story tasks[]) one at a time, showing evidence after each step before proceeding.

HARD GATE — Do NOT proceed if on main or master. Run kickoff-branch first.

HARD GATE — Active epic must exist with runnable verify on each task. If missing, run plan-release then plan-work or build-epic.

Process

1. Read the plan

Read specs/state.yaml (active_epic, active_story) and the matching specs/epics/*/epic.yaml. Parse depends-on in task descriptions for execution waves.

CONTEXT ISOLATION — Spawn each skill with a fresh context window. Pass decisions only through specs/state.yaml handoff — never rely on prior chat history.

Confirm with the user: step count, skip/reorder, stop-after step.

2. Execute step by step

For each task in the active story:

a. Announce — task desc and verify command.

b. Execute — code or delegate-task / dispatch-agents for waves.

c. Run verify — must be green before advancing.

d. Log — non-obvious decisions in specs/state.yaml under decisions[] or handoff block.

e. Checkpoint — ask to proceed unless autonomous mode requested.

f. Story UAT — after last task, run manual verification script from story notes or verify-work.

On verify failure: fix and re-run; never advance on red.

Update specs/execution-status.yaml when a story/epic completes (bash scripts/sync-status-from-epics.sh or direct edit).

3. Blockers

Report blocker; ask skip/adapt/stop; update epic capsule if plan changes.

4. Final report

Suggest: verify-workrun-evalsaudit-codesimulate-agentscommit-messagerelease-branch

Rules

  • Loop until behavioral correctness is verified: if a verify command passes but the observed behavior is still wrong, return to step 1 and run the execution cycle again.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
