executing-plans
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --skill executing-plans --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# 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

What does the executing-plans skill do?
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --skill executing-plans --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From GanyuanRan/Aegis, a repository with 902 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
