executing-plans

A process for carrying out a multi-task implementation plan in controlled batches, with review checkpoints between batches. It uses Beads, a persistent task tracker, to manage the plan and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a reviewed Beads plan contains several dependent coding tasks that need staged implementation and quality checks.
Why use it?
It prevents a large plan from being implemented all at once without checks. Reviews between batches make problems visible while there is still time to adjust.

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 yesterday.

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 Skill

Execute Beads-backed implementation plans with controlled, staged implementation and review checkpoints between batches.

Core Principle

STAGED EXECUTION WITH CHECKPOINTS

Don't execute an entire plan at once. Work in batches with review between each batch.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • You have a Beads-backed plan ready for implementation
  • Multiple tasks need to be executed in sequence
  • You want structured progress with quality gates

Prerequisites

  1. A Beads epic with tasks exists
  2. At least one task is ready (bd ready returns a task)
  3. Plan has been reviewed and approved
