What it does

Executing An Implementation Plan is an agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins. Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session - dispatches fresh subagent for each task, reviews once per phase, loads phases just-in-time to minimize context usage

Its SKILL.md is about 5.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning and Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Ed's repo of Claude Code plugins, centered around a research-plan-implement workflow. Only a tiny bit cursed. If you're lucky.

When your agent uses it

  • Executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session - dispatches fresh subagent for each task
  • Reviews once per phase
  • Loads phases just-in-time to minimize context usage

Example prompts

  • “/executing-an-implementation-plan”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover Phases
  2. Create Phase-Level Task List
  3. Execute Each Phase
  4. Update Project Context
  5. Final Review Sequence
  6. Complete Development

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90f4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Executing An Implementation Plan loads about 5.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,595 words (~5,136 tokens).

“Execute plan phase-by-phase, loading each phase just-in-time to minimize context usage.”
