Ran a vague 3-phase 'add rate limiting' plan through it: it correctly stopped at Phase 1 (no framework/target file named) and refused to guess, producing a structured FAIL verdict a freeform review didn't match in rigor -- but step 6's save path points at ../../templates/executability-verifier-report-template.md, a file that does not exist anywhere in the source repo.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 3/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What ControlFlow Executability Verifier does

Walks a saved implementation plan through an 8-point clarity checklist and a TDD-style walkthrough, stopping at the first real blocker instead of assuming intent. Trigger it before starting on a large or low-confidence plan, or whenever the early phases might be too vague for a fresh executor to follow without hidden context.

How to install ControlFlow Executability Verifier

git clone https://github.com/Smithbox-ai/ControlFlow.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r ControlFlow/.cursor/skills/controlflow-executability-verifier ~/.claude/skills/controlflow-executability-verifier

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger ControlFlow Executability Verifier

  • /controlflow-executability-verifier Simulates a saved plan's first tasks cold-start to catch vague phases before coding starts.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Before I start coding, check if Phase 1 of this plan is too vague
  • Walk through my saved implementation plan like a fresh executor would
  • Stress-test this rate-limiting plan for hidden context gaps
