Checklist Bound Execution

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: operations  ·  Last updated:
This skill should be used whenever work from an explicit checklist or plan is fanned out to multiple spawned agents (Workflow tool scripts or Task/Agent subagents). Trigger phrases include "run these through a workflow", "build from this atomic checklist", "spawn agents for these tasks", "make the agents follow the plan and not drift", "verify each item is actually done", and "use the harness". It binds every spawned agent to its EXACT checklist item verbatim (never from memory), forces a structured proof of completion, and runs an independent adversarial verifier that re-checks each item against its acceptance criteria with loop-back on failure. Use it to prevent agent drift, improvisation, and "done but not really done" outcomes.

From the source SKILL.md

A harness for fanning checklist / plan items out to spawned agents WITHOUT drift. Use it any time two or more agents execute items from a shared plan and "did the agent actually do its exact job?" matters.
