Has the agent carry out an implementation plan itself, task by task in the current session, keeping a ledger, proving each step with a test and ending with one whole-branch review.
A skill your agent uses when you have a written implementation plan to execute.

What it does
Run Plan is an agent skill from tmdgusya/engineering-discipline. Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute. Loads the plan, reviews critically, executes tasks in dependency order, and reports completion. Triggers when the user says "run the plan", "execute the plan", or "let's start implementing".
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k 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. The repository describes itself as: SKILL for engineering-discipline.
When your agent uses it
- You have a written implementation plan to execute
- The user says run the plan
- Execute the plan
- Lets start implementing
Example prompts
- “run the plan”
- “execute the plan”
- “s start implementing”
- “/run-plan”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Project Capability Discovery
- Load and Review Plan
- Task Execution Loop
- E2E Verification Gate
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 137dead. 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
Run Plan loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,336 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 2,336 words (~4,620 tokens).
“Loads a written plan document, reviews it critically, then executes tasks in dependency order using a worker-validator loop.”
