Dialectical premise-and-alternatives audit for a plan, spec, or context packet. Four moves: premise challenge (is this the right problem?), mandatory structurally-distinct alternatives, cross-model outside voice, user-ratified convergence. Named for Gary Tan's plan-ceo-review pattern; operationalizes the AGENTS.md "Diverge Before You Converge" doctrine at the plan-review stage. Use when: about to commit to a plan/spec/design, reviewing a ticket before shape, when "is this the right problem" would be useful, or any time a proposal smells like a symptom fix instead of a root-cause fix. Trigger: /ceo-review, /challenge, /premise-check. argument-hint: "[plan|spec|context-packet|ticket]"
Invoke /ceo-review on your plan, spec, or context packet to begin the audit.

A dialectical plan review audits your plan by enforcing premise challenge, mandatory structurally-distinct alternatives, and an outside voice critique. This structured audit surfaces misalignments and prevents you from committing to a flawed problem statement or design.
A mandatory alternatives review forces the generation of at least two structurally distinct approaches alongside their load-bearing assumptions. This process ensures you evaluate fundamentally different execution paths rather than minor variations before finalizing a design.
Yes, you can apply a dialectical ticket review to evaluate proposed changes before shaping them into a full plan. This audit probes whether the ticket addresses the actual user outcome, preventing premature commitment to a flawed problem framing.
An outside voice critique invokes an independent cross-model perspective to critique the framing of your plan or context packet. This external perspective identifies structural flaws and blind spots that internal reviewers might miss during the convergence phase.
You should avoid a premise challenge audit when a plan is already ratified and in active execution, or when the problem framing is trivially clear. This dialectical audit is designed for the pre-commitment stage to surface misalignments before allocating resources.
