superpowers-executing-plans

superpowers-executing-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from christopherarter/superpowers-reasonix. It costs 26 tokens per session (612 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for carrying out a written development plan one task at a time, with a review of the plan and checkpoints during the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you already have a multi-step coding plan and need to implement its tasks in the current session, including running the stated checks.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation aligned with the plan and makes it easier to notice concerns, verify each task, and track what is finished.

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

superpowers-executing-plans 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 5d 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.

Executing Plans

Overview

Load plan. Review critically. Execute all tasks. Report when complete.

Announce at start: "I'm using the superpowers-executing-plans skill to implement this plan."

Note: Reasonix has first-class subagent orchestration. Higher quality on multi-task plan: dispatch fresh subagent per task via native task tool (wait joins parallel jobs, review runs code-review) instead of inline. Use this skill when executing plan yourself, in-session, with checkpoints.

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

  1. Ensure an isolated workspace: use superpowers-using-git-worktrees to create one, or verify the existing one
  2. read_file the plan
  3. Review critically — find questions or concerns
  4. Concerns? Raise with human partner before starting
  5. No concerns? Create todo_write list, proceed

Step 2: Execute Tasks

Per task:

  1. Mark in_progress
  2. Follow each step exactly (steps are bite-sized) — actually create the files the task specifies
  3. Run verifications as specified (via bash)
  4. Mark completed

Step 3: Complete Development

After all tasks complete and verified:

  • Announce: "I'm using the superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."
  • REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: use superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch skill
  • Follow it: verify tests, present options, execute choice

When to Stop and Ask for Help

STOP executing immediately when:

  • Hit blocker (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear)
  • Plan has critical gaps preventing start
  • Don't understand an instruction
  • Verification fails repeatedly

Ask for clarification. Never guess.

When to Revisit Earlier Steps

Return to Review (Step 1) when: partner updates plan from your feedback, or approach needs rethinking.

Don't force through blockers — stop and ask.

Remember

  • Review plan critically first
  • Follow plan steps exactly — actually create the files each task specifies
  • Don't skip verifications. Run the tests the plan directs (use superpowers-verification-before-completion skill before claiming done)
  • Reference skills when plan says to
  • Report completion WITH evidence (test output) — never claim done blindly
  • Stop when blocked, don't guess
  • Never start implementation on main/master branch without explicit user consent

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.
