SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Running a full plan review normally means invoking three separate review skills and answering 15-30 intermediate questions. This Skill reads the CEO, design, and engineering review skills from disk and executes them sequentially at full depth, auto-deciding routine questions with 6 decision principles and surfacing only genuine taste decisions at a final approval gate. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sequential Review Pipeline: Executes CEO (strategy/scope), design (UI/UX), and engineering (architecture/tests) review phases in strict order, each at the same depth as running the skills manually. - 6 Decision Principles: Auto-answers intermediate questions using completeness, boil-the-lake scope expansion, pragmatism, DRY, explicit-over-clever, and bias-toward-action rules, with every decision logged to an audit trail. - Taste Decision Surfacing: Classifies decisions as mechanical (auto-decided silently) or taste (close approaches, borderline scope, codex disagreements) and presents taste decisions at a final approval gate. - Restore Point & Dual Voices: Captures a restore point of the plan file before modifying it, and runs both a Claude subagent and Codex as independent outside voices with a consensus table. - Use Case: You have a rough implementation plan on a feature branch and want a fully reviewed plan without answering dozens of questions. Invoke the skill and receive a plan reviewed across strategy, design, and engineering with only the genuinely debatable decisions escalated to you. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run autoplan on the current plan file to execute the full CEO, design, and engineering review pipeline with automatic decisions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a full plan review automatically without answering questions?

Invoke the autoplan skill with a plan file on your branch. It loads the CEO, design, and engineering review skills from disk and runs them sequentially, auto-deciding intermediate questions using 6 decision principles and presenting only taste decisions at a final approval gate.

What decisions does autoplan make on its own versus ask me about?

Mechanical decisions with one clearly right answer are auto-decided silently using principles like completeness, DRY, and bias toward action. Taste decisions — close approaches, borderline scope of 3-5 files, and codex disagreements — are surfaced at a final approval gate for your judgment.

Does autoplan run the review phases in parallel or sequentially?

Phases run in strict sequential order: CEO review first, then design review (only if UI scope is detected), then engineering review. Each phase must complete fully with all required outputs written before the next begins, since each builds on the previous.

Can I restore my original plan file after running autoplan?

Yes. Before modifying anything, autoplan captures a restore point by writing the plan file's full contents to a timestamped file under ~/.gstack/projects/. The plan file gets an HTML comment pointing to the restore path so you can recover the original state.

What happens if Codex or the Claude subagent is unavailable during review?

All outside-voice failures are non-blocking. If Codex fails, the review proceeds with the Claude subagent only, tagged single-model. If both fail, the skill continues in single-reviewer mode with the primary review, and a degradation matrix tracks which voices contributed.
