Execute Plan

Execute structured task plans with automatic status tracking and progress updates.

Commitment to Completion

When a plan is provided, **all tasks in the plan must be completed**. Before starting execution, recite:

> "I will execute this plan to completion. All the 20 tasks will be addressed and marked as DONE."

Execution Steps

**STEP 1**: Recite the commitment to complete all tasks in the plan.

**STEP 2**: Read the entire plan file to identify pending tasks based on `task_status`.

**STEP 3**: Announce the next pending task and update its status to `IN_PROGRESS` in the plan file.

**STEP 4**: Execute all actions required to complete the task and mark the task status to `DONE` in the plan file.

**STEP 5**: Repeat from Step 3 until all tasks are marked as `DONE`.

**STEP 6**: Re-read the plan file to verify all tasks are completed before announcing completion.

Task Status Format

Use these status indicators in the plan file:

[ ]: PENDING
[~]: IN_PROGRESS
[x]: DONE
[!]: FAILED
