executing-plans is agent-read markdown (skill) from ganyuanran/aegis: Use when executing a written implementation plan across sessions or with review checkpoints. Small or single-slice plans stay inline. For same-session independent tasks, use subagent-driven-development instead..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# 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.

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
