Mastermind Execute

Load plan, review critically, execute all tasks, report when complete.

Announce at start: "I'm using the mastermind:execute skill to implement this plan."

Note: This skill works best with subagent support (Claude Code). When subagents are available, dispatch one subagent per independent task in a single message.

Inputs

• brain_context: BRAIN CONTEXT block (injected by master, or loaded standalone via mastermind-protocol/SKILL.md brain load)
• plan_path: path to the plan file to execute
• project_name: monotask space name
• board_id: monotask board ID
• mode: auto | confirm

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

1. Read the plan file at plan_path
2. Review critically — identify any questions or concerns:
   • Missing dependencies or prerequisites
   • Ambiguous instructions
   • Steps that contradict each other
   • Verifications that cannot be run
3. If concerns exist: raise them with the user before starting
4. If no concerns: create a TodoWrite with each task and proceed

Step 2: Execute Tasks

For each task in the plan:

1. Mark as in_progress
2. Follow each step exactly — the plan has bite-sized steps; do not skip or reorder
3. Run verifications as specified in the plan
4. Mark as completed

Dispatching subagents (when available): when independent tasks can run in parallel, dispatch one subagent per task in a single message via the Task tool. Each subagent starts with no memory of this session — embed the plan step and the brain_context received in Inputs directly in its prompt so it has the same grounding this skill was given.

CRITICAL — variable substitution required: before constructing the Task prompt, replace ${brain_context} and ${project_name} below with their actual literal values (the BRAIN CONTEXT block from Inputs, and the project name) — an unsubstituted ${brain_context} placeholder means the subagent executes blind to prior decisions and constraints. This is the same substitution discipline mastermind-idea/SKILL.md uses for its Task prompts.
