# Executing Plans
Locks in an approved plan and drives it through cortex’s orchestration and verification stack, ensuring every item becomes a tracked task that is executed, verified, and reported.
## When to Use This Skill
- A plan from `writing-plans` or `/ctx:plan` is ready for execution
- Coordinating multiple workstreams or agents against a shared plan
- Ensuring plan items are tracked as tasks with status updates
- Running verification loops (tests, lint, visual checks) before marking tasks done
- Avoid using before a plan exists — use `writing-plans` first
## Prerequisites
- Plan output available in the thread (from `writing-plans` or `/ctx:plan`)
- Access to Task view (`T`) in cortex TUI
- Relevant modes and agents activated for the workstreams
## Workflow
### Step 1: Create and Sync Tasks
For each plan item, create or update a task in the Task view:
```
Task view (T) → Add (A) or Edit (E)
```
- Set **category** and **workstream** to mirror the plan’s stream names
- Ensure every plan item has a corresponding task — no orphan items
- Link tasks to the originating plan document
### Step 2: Activate Modes and Rules
Toggle the required configuration to match the plan:
- **Modes** (view `3`): Activate modes needed for current workstreams
- **Rules** (view `4`): Enable rules that apply (e.g., testing requirements, style enforcement)
### Step 3: Execute Workstream Loops
For each task in priority order:
1. **Pick** the next task from the active workstream
