arn-code-execute-plan

This skill should be used when the user says "execute plan", "run the plan", "execute project", "execute all tasks", "run all tasks", "run plan in parallel", "execute with review gates", or wants to execute a full structured project plan after tasks have been created via arn-code-taskify. This skill runs ALL tasks from the task list — for executing a single specific task, use arn-code-execute-task instead. For Agent Teams mode, use arn-code-execute-plan-teams. Do NOT use this skill when executing a single task — use `/arn-code-execute-task` instead.

Quality

Content

81%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-orchestrated, highly actionable skill body: clear step sequence, pervasive validation and feedback loops, and appropriate offloading of the two large procedures to real reference files. The residual gaps are minor — some verbose dialogue blocks and a few cross-skill procedure pointers that break self-contained navigation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense operational instruction with essentially no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every section prescribes checks, exact paths, or decision branches. Minor trimming is available (the AskUserQuestion prose blocks are verbose, and task-recreation guidance repeats across Step 2 and Error Handling), which keeps it at anchor 4 rather than 5, but it is well above anchor 3's 'some unnecessary explanation'.

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is concrete throughout: exact directory structure to verify, exact user-facing questions with numbered options, specific commands ('gh issue create'), and explicit fallback branches for executor/reviewer failures and resume errors. It falls short of anchor 5 mainly because some steps defer to material not directly resolvable from this skill — e.g. 'run the template version check procedure documented in arn-code-save-plan Step 1' — leaving the orchestrator to chase a cross-skill document.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Steps 1–5 are explicitly sequenced with validation checkpoints at every phase: structure verification before execution, user confirmation before starting the batch, and an execute→review→gate cycle with a retry cap (2), escalation to the user, and abort options. This batch operation has textbook feedback loops and error-recovery paths, matching anchor 5 exactly.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The SKILL.md is a genuine overview: the 12KB dispatch algorithm and pattern-refresh procedure are split into well-signaled, real, one-level-deep reference files ('Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-code-execute-plan/references/dispatch-loop.md'). It falls short of anchor 5 because navigation depends partly on cross-skill pointers the reader must hunt down — dispatch-loop.md repeatedly points into arn-code-ensure-config/references/ensure-config.md, and Step 1 defers to a named step inside arn-code-save-plan — which weakens 'easy navigation'.

Description

81%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description with excellent, explicit trigger phrases and near-ideal conflict-avoidance routing to sibling skills. Its main weaknesses are a thin statement of what the skill actually does (parallel dispatch, review gates, escalation are never mentioned) and redundancy — the single-task redirect is stated twice in nearly identical words.

Suggestions

Replace one of the two duplicated single-task redirects with a clause describing the core mechanics, e.g. 'Dispatches parallel batches of executor agents and validates each completed task through a reviewer agent before marking it done.'

Trim the near-identical 'for executing a single specific task, use arn-code-execute-task instead' / 'Do NOT use this skill when executing a single task' repetition to a single routing sentence so the freed tokens can describe capabilities (specificity).

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (structured project plan execution) and one concrete action — 'This skill runs ALL tasks from the task list' — but does not enumerate the skill's actual capabilities (parallel executor dispatch, reviewer validation, retry/escalation gates). It fits anchor 3 (domain plus 1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive); it is not a 4 because there is no list of several specific actions, and not a 2 because the action stated is concrete and the routing behavior is explicit.

3 / 5

Completeness

Both 'what' ('This skill runs ALL tasks from the task list') and 'when' (explicit trigger phrases) are present, but the 'what' is thin — it never says what the skill does beyond running tasks (no mention of dispatching parallel executors, review gates, or escalation). It is above anchor 3 (both present, 'when' explicit with concrete trigger phrases) but short of anchor 5, which requires the 'what' to be equally explicit and concrete.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It quotes seven natural trigger phrases users would actually say — "execute plan", "run the plan", "execute project", "execute all tasks", "run all tasks", "run plan in parallel", "execute with review gates" — plus a general intent clause ('wants to execute a full structured project plan'). This is comprehensive coverage of natural terms and synonyms, matching the anchor 5 example.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It occupies a clear niche with an explicit negative trigger ('Do NOT use this skill when executing a single task — use `/arn-code-execute-task` instead') and positive routing to sibling skills (arn-code-execute-task, arn-code-execute-plan-teams, arn-code-taskify). The trigger phrases are distinctive to full-plan execution, so mis-trigger risk is minimal — a clear anchor 5.
