When you're implementing a plan yourself instead of delegating to subagents, this skill keeps you honest through TDD checkpoints and a final review. It trades fresh context per task for lower token cost and a single coherent session. Use it when your brief is solid, you want to move fast, and you're willing to be your own second pair of eyes at the end.
- Execute each planned task with a watched test—let it fail, make it pass, move on
- Keep a ledger of what you've done so you don't lose the thread mid-implementation
- Do one full-branch review at the end instead of per-task reviews with fresh contexts
- Trade subagent overhead for speed when the plan has already done the architectural thinking
