The Process

1. Load plan and review critically
2. Execute each batch with using a subagent in order
3. Report for review between batches
4. Incorporate feedback, if any
5. Continue until all batches are done

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

1. Read plan file
2. Review critically. Identify any questions or concerns about the plan
3. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting
4. If no concerns: Proceed with implementation

Step 2: Execute Batch

Dispatch fresh subagent

Task tool (general-purpose):
  description: "Implement Batch N"
  prompt: |
    You are implementing Batch N from [batch-file] created from [plan-file].

    Read both the plan and the batch carefully. Your job is to:
    1. Implement exactly what the batch file specifies
    2. Verify implementation works
    3. Commit your work
    4. Report back

    Work from: [directory]

    Report: What you implemented, what you executed and their results, files changed, any issues

Step 3: Report

When batch is complete:

• Show what was implemented
• Show verification output
• Say: "Ready for feedback."

Step 4: Continue

• Incorporate and apply changes if needed
• Fill out the recap section of the next batch file
  • Include any deviations from the plan that resulted from human feedback
  • Include the agent output from the most recent batch
• Execute next batch
• Repeat until complete

When to Stop and Ask for Help

STOP executing immediately when:

• Hit a blocker mid-batch (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear)
• Plan has critical gaps preventing starting
• You don't understand an instruction
• Verification fails repeatedly

Ask for clarification rather than guessing.

When to Revisit Earlier Steps

Return to Review (Step 1) when:

• Partner updates the plan based on your feedback
• Fundamental approach needs rethinking

Don't force through blockers - stop and ask.

Core principle: Batch execution with checkpoints for architect review.

Remember

• Review plan critically first
• Follow plan steps exactly
• Don't skip verifications
• Reference skills when plan says to
• Between batches: just report and wait
• Stop when blocked, don't guess
