Our review
Executes a continuous plan deterministically by following the skill sequence defined in task_plan.md, invoking each skill step-by-step and tracking progress.
Strengths
- Automates execution of predefined plans without manual intervention.
- Handles failures with recovery protocols and user guidance.
- Integrates with beads for task tracking.
- Provides clear status updates in progress.md.
Limitations
- Requires a well-structured task_plan.md with a skill sequence.
- Does not handle dynamic plan adaptation; strictly follows the sequence.
- Failure recovery depends on predefined protocols; complex errors may need manual intervention.
After creating a continuous plan with continuous-planner to automatically execute the defined steps.
For ad-hoc tasks without a predefined plan, or when creative problem-solving is needed instead of deterministic execution.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill is an orchestrator that runs other skills and uses Bash, which introduces inherent risk if used with untrusted plan files. It does not contain destructive or obfuscated payloads itself, but its power warrants caution.
- •Uses Bash and Skill tools, allowing execution of arbitrary commands and skills; risk of executing malicious plans if the input task_plan.md is not trusted.
Examples
Execute the continuous plan we just created by running the run-plan skill./run-plan to start executing the skill sequence.Please run the plan from task_plan.md step by step.name: run-plan description: "Execute a continuous plan deterministically by following the skill sequence. Use after continuous-planner creates a plan with skill sequences. Reads task_plan.md and executes each skill step by step." disable-model-invocation: true allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Skill
Run Plan - Deterministic Skill Execution
Execute continuous plans by following the skill sequence step-by-step.
When To Use
After creating a continuous plan with continuous-planner, run this to execute the skill sequence deterministically.
How It Works
- Read task_plan.md to get the skill sequence
- For each skill in sequence:
- Check if status is "⏸️ Pending"
- If pending, execute the skill
- Update status in task_plan.md
- Update progress.md with results
- Handle failures with recovery protocols
- Mark plan complete when all skills executed
Skill Sequence Format
The task_plan.md should have a Skill Sequence table:
| Step | Skill | Purpose | Input | Output | Status |
|------|-------|---------|-------|--------|--------|
| 1 | front-door | Interview/triage | User request | requirements | ⏸️ Pending |
| 2 | api-designer | Design API | requirements | api_spec | ⏸️ Pending |
| 3 | implement-plan | Execute | api_spec | Complete | ⏸️ Pending |
Execution Flow
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Read task_plan.md │
│ 2. Parse Skill Sequence table │
│ 3. For each pending skill: │
│ a. Invoke skill with input │
│ b. Capture output │
│ c. Update findings.md │
│ d. Update progress.md │
│ e. Update skill status in plan │
│ 4. Update beads │
│ 5. Report completion │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Error Handling
If a skill fails:
- Log error to findings.md
- Check failure-recovery skill for protocols
- Update skill status to "❌ Failed"
- Ask user for guidance
Beads Integration
Each skill execution is tracked as a bead task:
- Plan epic:
continuous-[project-name] - Skill tasks: Created as subtasks
- Completion: Mark beads as complete
Example Usage
# From project directory with continuous plan
/run-plan
# Or specify plan location
/run-plan .claude/continuous/task_plan.md
Output
After execution:
- task_plan.md: All skills marked complete or failed
- findings.md: Research, errors, discoveries
- progress.md: Execution log with checkpoints
- beads: Tasks marked complete
