# Executing a Research Plan Run a pre-registered plan task by task. Dispatch the right subagent per task, review each result (spec + quality), and only mark done when both reviews pass. Deviations are logged, not hidden. **Announce at start:** "Using executing-research-plan to run `<slug>-plan.md`." <SOFT-GATE> Before executing a task, check: (1) The task is listed in `input/ideas/<slug>-plan.md` (2) For `methodology: quantitative` or any task block marked as quantitative: plan frontmatter `status: pre-registered` with user sign-off (3) For `methodology: hermeneutic`: plan frontmatter `status: ready` is enough — a frozen hypothesis is not required If unmet: explain to the user which condition is missing, ask for a short reason, write it to `knowledge/_meta/gate-overrides.log`, and start the task. A task is "done" only when the type-specific review passes (see "Review by methodology" below). Never silently rewrite a hypothesis mid-run — deviations go into the deviation log. </SOFT-GATE> ## Checklist 1. **Load the plan** — read `input/ideas/<slug>-plan.md` end-to-end 2. **Verify the plan is ready** (methodology-aware): `methodology: hermeneutic` → frontmatter `status: ready` is enough (no frozen hypothesis); `methodology: quantitative`/`mixed` (or a task block marked `pre-registered: true`) → `status: pre-registered` + user confirmation of the hypothesis 3. **Create TodoWrite items** — one per task in the plan (use the plan's own wording) 4. **Acquisition gate (before an...
