plan-design-review

To review a design plan for missing decisions, you can provide your early sketches or final specs to identify gaps across UI/UX, architecture, data flow, and accessibility, ensuring explicit decisions and completeness before implementation handoffs.

A design plan review is a thorough evaluation of early sketches or final specs to surface missing design decisions and product constraints. You need it when plans lack explicit, auditable decisions causing misalignment between product goals and engineering.

You identify gaps in accessibility and data flow by conducting a thorough interactive review of your design specs. This enforces explicit decisions and completeness, surfacing risk signals and providing a concrete path to a complete plan.

You can use this design review process for both early sketches and final specs. The review scope applies to design planning across interaction flows, accessibility, data flows, and system constraints at any stage of completeness.

The best way to tighten scope and prevent misalignment is to conduct a plan-focused design review that enforces explicit decisions and completeness. This surfaces risk signals and yields a GSTACK REVIEW REPORT with routing guidance before work starts.

Deliverables from a thorough plan review include a GSTACK REVIEW REPORT and CLAUDE.md routing guidance. These outputs provide structured recommendations, highlight missing decisions, and establish a concrete path to reach a complete plan.
