Execute a written implementation plan with critical review and task checkpoints.
Works with
Requires loading and critically reviewing the plan before execution; raises concerns with the human partner if issues are identified
Executes tasks sequentially, marking progress and running verifications as specified in the plan
Stops immediately on blockers (missing dependencies, test failures, unclear instructions) rather than guessing; asks for clarification
Integrates with git-worktrees for isola
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionexecuting-plansExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches executing-plans from obra/superpowers and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate executing-plans. Access via /executing-plans in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

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.
For each task:
After all tasks complete and verified:
STOP executing immediately when:
Ask for clarification rather than guessing.
Return to Review (Step 1) when:
Don't force through blockers - stop and ask.
Required workflow skills:
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
