FAQPage Schema
How do I critique a planning artifact to surface risks before execution?

You can critique a planning artifact by running Codex CLI as a skeptical external reviewer. This generates a dedicated critique file highlighting gaps, weaknesses, and risk factors to address before moving into execution.

What planning file formats can I use as input for a Codex CLI critique?

The critique process accepts claude_brainstorm.md and evolution_plan.md as input artifacts. These files must be located within the .ai/plans/<slug>/ directory to be processed by Codex CLI.

Does the critique process modify existing plan files or state?

No, the critique process preserves existing artifacts and does not modify plan state files. It operates within the namespace plan layout to safely output new critique files without altering your original planning documents.

Can I use a local Ollama reviewer alongside Codex CLI for plan critiques?

Yes, if a local Ollama reviewer is available, the process optionally emits an ollama_critique.md file alongside the standard codex_critique.md. This provides dual perspectives on your planning artifacts.

How do I generate a codex_critique.md file for my brainstorming plan?

Place your claude_brainstorm.md file inside the .ai/plans/<slug>/ directory and run Codex CLI. The tool analyzes the artifact and automatically writes the codex_critique.md output in the same directory.

What is the best way to review an evolution plan for structural weaknesses?

Using skepticism-driven critique via Codex CLI is an effective way to review an evolution plan. It evaluates the evolution_plan.md artifact and produces a structured critique document identifying potential weaknesses and improvements.
