SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Solo founders have no one to challenge their plans before they build. This Skill acts as a CEO-level reviewer that stress-tests your plan's strategy, scope, and ambition before you write code, catching weak premises and missed opportunities early. ## 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). - Pre-Review System Audit: Scans git history, TODOs, recently touched files, and existing design docs to ground the review in real repository context. - Structured Decision Flow: Every scope change is presented as an explicit opt-in question with effort estimates and completeness ratings, keeping the user in control. - Use Case: Before building a new feature, run the review to challenge whether the plan solves a real pain point, find the 10-star version of the product, and lock scope with confidence. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run a CEO-level strategy review of your current plan and challenge whether the scope is ambitious enough.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a product plan before writing code?

Run a structured plan review that audits your repository context, challenges the plan's premises, and evaluates scope. This Skill offers four modes from scope expansion to reduction, with every change requiring your explicit approval.

What is founder-mode plan review for solo builders?

Founder-mode review applies CEO-level thinking to your plan: questioning whether it solves a real problem, finding the 10-star version, and deciding what not to build. It replaces the strategy feedback solo founders normally lack.

Can I expand or reduce project scope during a plan review?

Yes. Choose SCOPE EXPANSION to dream bigger, SELECTIVE EXPANSION to cherry-pick individual additions, HOLD SCOPE for pure rigor, or SCOPE REDUCTION to strip to the minimum viable version. Each change is an explicit opt-in decision.

Does the plan review require a design doc first?

A design doc is optional but recommended. If none exists, the Skill offers to run a validation step first to produce a structured problem statement, which gives the review sharper input. You can skip and proceed with a standard review.

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

Skip it for trivial changes, bug fixes, or well-understood tasks where strategic review adds no value. It is designed for plans where scope, ambition, or product direction is genuinely uncertain.
