Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "executing-plans" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into your project mkdir -p .claude/skills/executing-plans && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/main/skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
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." Note: Tell your human partner that Superpowers works much better with access to subagents. The quality of its work will be significantly higher if run on a platform with subagent support (such as Claude Code or Codex). If subagents are available, use superpowers:subagent-driven-development instead of this skill.
Step 1: Load and Review Plan
• Read plan file • Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan • If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting • If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed
Step 2: Execute Tasks
For each task: • Mark as in_progress • Follow each step exactly (plan has bite-sized steps) • Run verifications as specified • Mark as completed
Step 3: Complete Development
After all tasks complete and verified: • Announce: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work." • REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch • Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice
