SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans often ship with unchallenged assumptions, hidden failure modes, and scope that is either too timid or too bloated. This Skill reviews a plan the way a founder or CEO would: rethinking the problem, challenging premises, mapping failure modes, and calibrating scope before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four Review Modes: SCOPE EXPANSION (dream bigger), SELECTIVE EXPANSION (hold scope, cherry-pick expansions), HOLD SCOPE (maximum rigor), and SCOPE REDUCTION (strip to essentials), each chosen explicitly by the user. - Failure-Mode Rigor: Enforces prime directives like zero silent failures, named error paths, edge-case mapping, mandatory ASCII diagrams, and observability as first-class scope. - Pre-Review System Audit: Runs git history and platform detection (GitHub/GitLab) to ground the review in the actual repository state and base branch. - Use Case: Before implementing a new billing feature, run this review to surface expansion opportunities, catch missing error handling for payment failures, and confirm the plan's scope matches the actual product ambition. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a CEO-mode review of the current plan and choose whether to expand, hold, or reduce its 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 through scope, failure modes, error handling, and edge cases, presenting every scope change as an explicit opt-in decision.

What review modes does plan-ceo-review support?

It supports four modes: SCOPE EXPANSION for ambitious rethinking, SELECTIVE EXPANSION for cherry-picking 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 during the review?

No. The skill explicitly forbids code changes and implementation. Its only job is to review the plan with rigor and present recommendations; the user decides what to adopt.

Can plan-ceo-review work with GitLab repositories?

Yes. It detects the hosting platform from the git remote URL, using glab for GitLab and gh for GitHub, with git-native fallbacks when neither CLI is available.

When should I not use a CEO-style plan review?

Skip it for trivial changes, typo fixes, or well-understood small tasks where strategic scope analysis adds no value. It is designed for plans where ambition, scope, or failure modes genuinely matter.
