SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product and engineering plans often suffer from unchallenged assumptions and limited ambition. This Skill reviews a plan from a CEO/founder perspective, rethinking the problem, questioning premises, and deciding whether scope should expand, hold, or shrink to produce a better product. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four Review Modes: SCOPE EXPANSION (dream big), SELECTIVE EXPANSION (hold scope plus cherry-picked expansions), HOLD SCOPE (maximum rigor), and SCOPE REDUCTION (strip to essentials). - Premise Challenging: Rethinks the underlying problem and pushes toward a 10-star product vision rather than accepting the plan as written. - Structured Decision Briefs: Presents scope decisions through AskUserQuestion decision briefs with recommendations, completeness scores, and trade-off analysis. - Use Case: You have a feature plan that feels incremental. Invoke this Skill to stress-test whether the plan is ambitious enough, and walk away with a concrete scope decision backed by explicit trade-offs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a CEO-mode strategy review on your current plan, for example by saying: review this plan and tell me if it is ambitious enough.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review whether my product plan is ambitious enough?

Invoke the plan-ceo-review skill on your plan. It rethinks the problem from a founder perspective, challenges the premises, and presents scope options with recommendations and trade-offs so you can decide whether to expand, hold, or reduce scope.

What review modes does plan-ceo-review support?

It supports four modes: SCOPE EXPANSION for dreaming big, SELECTIVE EXPANSION for holding scope while cherry-picking expansions, HOLD SCOPE for maximum rigor, and SCOPE REDUCTION for stripping the plan to essentials.

When should I use a CEO-mode plan review instead of an engineering review?

Use it when you are questioning the scope, ambition, or strategy of a plan rather than its technical soundness. It targets product direction and premise validation, while engineering review skills focus on architecture and implementation feasibility.

Does plan-ceo-review work in headless or spawned agent sessions?

Yes. In spawned sessions it auto-chooses recommended options without interactive prompts, and in headless sessions it blocks when a user decision is required. Interactive sessions use AskUserQuestion decision briefs with a prose fallback.

What are the limitations of a scope expansion review?

Scope expansion reviews can inflate plans beyond delivery capacity if recommendations are accepted without engineering validation. The skill surfaces trade-offs per option, but final feasibility still requires an engineering plan review before execution.
