executing-plans

executing-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GanyuanRan/Aegis. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for carrying out a written software implementation plan across sessions or review checkpoints. It explains how to load the plan, assess it, execute its tasks, and verify the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing a non-trivial plan that spans several tasks or sessions, especially when the work needs review gates, tests, evidence, or coordination between independent tasks.
Why use it?
It keeps multi-step work aligned with the agreed scope and makes checkpoints, tests, risks, and unfinished work visible. This reduces the chance of implementing only part of a plan or drifting from its intent.

About the project

Aegis is a method pack that guides coding agents to inspect a project's baseline, make bounded changes, and verify their work with fresh evidence. It is for people using coding-agent hosts who want fewer unverified changes and less unnecessary process. The catalogue add-ons implement this method through skills, instructions, commands, a hook, and a plugin.

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

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 executing-plans skill to implement this plan."

For non-trivial execution, include Aegis Visibility: briefly tie the active slice to its plan, checkpoint, drift or verification boundary. At completion, pass plan adherence, evidence, complexity and residual risk to verification-before-completion for the unified receipt.

If subagents are available and the plan has genuinely independent tasks, prefer subagent-driven-development; lack of subagent support does not block inline execution. Same-task agents share one workspace, and the coordinator remains the only Git mutation owner.

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

  1. Read plan file
  2. If the plan or active checkpoint includes an Execution Readiness View, read it before implementation and compare the plan against its intent lock, scope fence, baseline lock, owner / contract constraints, compatibility boundary, retirement boundary, test obligations, review gates, drift / rewind rules, and evidence required before completion.
  3. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan
  4. If the view contradicts the plan, baseline, or current worktree evidence, return to plan review or refresh the advisory handoff before editing.
  5. Run the TDD Route Guard before implementation: confirm Mode, Decision, Strict authority, strict signals, light eligibility, Test posture, and verification. Strict steps require either an explicit user/project request or a recorded auto decision; plan approval or risk labels alone are not authority. An off-mode missing record may be repaired only as Mode: off / Decision: skipped without loading TDD. Missing/unsupported auto decisions return to plan review. An auto-light record is unsupported when any strict signal is present or when its tiny/low-risk/single-owner/no-behavior-change proof is incomplete. Only Decision: strict with recorded strict authority may authorize steps named Write failing test, Verify RED, GREEN, or REFACTOR. Do not infer strict during execution.
  6. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting
  7. Before the first write, capture TaskStartSnapshot: root, HEAD, branch or detached state, upstream divergence, staged/unstaged/untracked paths, active Git operations, and git worktree list --porcelain. Preserve task-preexisting state; do not stash, reset, clean, or commit it.
  8. Reuse the current branch unless rules require independent history or another goal owns it. If justified, switch/create it in the current workspace when safe; a worktree still requires concurrent checkout or blocking dirty state.
  9. If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed

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.

executing-plans is a skill published in the GitHub repository GanyuanRan/Aegis (1,167 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,000 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
