SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans often ship with unchallenged premises, hidden failure modes, and scope that is either too timid or too bloated. This Skill performs a founder-mode review of a plan before implementation, stress-testing ambition, completeness, and risk so problems surface before code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four Review Modes: Scope Expansion (dream bigger), Selective Expansion (hold scope and cherry-pick expansions), Hold Scope (maximum rigor), and Scope Reduction (strip to essentials), each chosen explicitly by the user. - Pre-Review System Audit: Inspects git history, diffs, TODOs, recently touched files, design docs, and prior handoff notes to ground the review in real repository context. - Failure-Mode Rigor: Applies prime directives like named error handling, shadow-path data flow tracing, mandatory diagrams, and observability-as-scope to every plan section. - Use Case: Before implementing a new billing flow, run this review to challenge whether the plan is ambitious enough, map every error path, and decide via structured questions which scope expansions are worth taking. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run a CEO review of the current plan and choose whether to expand, hold, or reduce scope.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a plan before implementing it with AI?

Invoke the plan-ceo-review skill while in plan mode. It runs a system audit of your repo, then walks the plan through scope, failure modes, error handling, and test coverage, presenting each scope decision as an explicit question you approve or reject.

What review modes does plan-ceo-review support?

It supports four modes: Scope Expansion for ambitious rethinking, Selective Expansion for cherry-picking individual additions, Hold Scope for pure rigor on the existing plan, and Scope Reduction for cutting to the minimum viable version.

Does plan-ceo-review make code changes?

No. The skill explicitly forbids code changes and implementation. Its only job is to review the plan with maximum rigor and record decisions; implementation happens separately after the review concludes.

What is the office-hours prerequisite for plan-ceo-review?

If no design doc exists for the branch, the skill offers to run office-hours first, which produces a structured problem statement and explored alternatives. You can skip it and proceed with a standard review.

When should I not use CEO-mode plan review?

Skip it for trivial changes, urgent hotfixes, or plans already reviewed through the full autoplan pipeline. The review adds structured questioning overhead that only pays off on plans with meaningful scope or risk.
