arn-code-execute-plan

A workflow for carrying out a complete project plan by assigning tasks to coding agents and checking each result before marking it complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute all tasks in a structured plan, run independent tasks in parallel, and validate their implementations.
Why use it?
It coordinates task dependencies and adds a review step, so unfinished or incorrect work can be retried or escalated.

Token cost

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

arn-code-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 2d ago.

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 — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arness Execute Plan

Execute a structured project plan by dispatching parallel batches of arn-code-task-executor agents and validating each completed task through a arn-code-task-reviewer agent before marking it done. Independent tasks run concurrently; dependent tasks wait for their blockers to clear. Each task goes through an execute-review-gate cycle: the executor implements and tests, the reviewer validates against patterns and acceptance criteria, and the orchestrator (this skill) decides whether to pass, retry, or escalate.

Key architectural constraint: Subagents cannot spawn other subagents. The dispatch loop MUST stay in the main session (this skill).

Pipeline position:

arn-code-init -> arn-code-feature-spec / arn-code-bug-spec -> arn-code-plan -> arn-code-save-plan -> arn-code-review-plan -> arn-code-taskify -> **arn-code-execute-plan** (dispatch -> execute -> review -> gate) -> arn-code-review-implementation -> arn-code-document-project -> arn-code-ship

Prerequisites

If no ## Arness section exists in the project's CLAUDE.md, inform the user: "Arness is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-implementing to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it.

Workflow

Step 1: Load Configuration

  1. Read the project's CLAUDE.md and extract the ## Arness section to find:

    • Plans directory -- base path where project plans are saved
    • Code patterns -- path to the directory containing stored pattern documentation
    • Template path -- path to the report template set (JSON templates)
    • Template version -- plugin version the templates were copied from (if present)
    • Template updates -- user preference: ask, auto, or manual (if present)
    • Specs directory -- path to the directory containing specification files (if present)

    Template version check: If Template version and Template updates fields are present, run the template version check procedure documented in arn-code-save-plan Step 1 (Template Version Check) before proceeding. If ## Arness does not contain these fields, treat as legacy and skip.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

arn-code-execute-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository AppsVortex/arness (33 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 2,967 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
