Executing Plans

Execute a written plan with discipline — verify each step before advancing, surface deviations instead of improvising around them, and keep a visible execution log. Use when working through a plan (yours or another agent's), resuming multi-session work, or when execution keeps drifting from what was agreed. Produces completed work plus an execution log showing what matched the plan, what deviated and why, and what the plan got wrong. Pairs with writing-plans.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every step's verification was actually executed, result recorded
✓Every divergence was classified (detail / deviation / invalidation) — none absorbed silently
✓Stop conditions were honoured; any override was a visible, stated decision
✓Completion was declared by the plan's done-test, not by fatigue
✓The plan-feedback note exists
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not improvise around a broken plan — amend it visibly or stop; silent drift is unaccountable work
Do not skip verifications when steps "obviously worked" — the mysterious step-6 failure was born at step 3
Do not push through a stop condition on momentum — it was written calm precisely because you wouldn't be
Do not declare done without running the done-test — feeling-finished and being-finished diverge exactly when it matters
Do not end a session without the state note — re-derivation is the tax on every resumed task
