SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps engineering teams lock in an execution plan by conducting a thorough, structured review of architecture, data flows, edge cases, tests, and performance before coding starts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured engagement: guides architecture reviews, data-flow diagrams, edge-case analysis, test coverage assessment, and performance checks.
  • Interactive recommendations: surfaces risks, tradeoffs, and pragmatic next steps to align the team.
  • Proactive planning: suggests improvements when a plan or design doc exists and you are about to start coding.

Quick Start

Describe your feature idea and request an engineering review to lock in the plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct an engineering review to lock in architecture before coding?

Conduct an engineering review by guiding structured sessions through architecture, data flow diagrams, edge cases, and test coverage to lock in execution plans before development starts.

What is a plan lock and when do I need it for feature ideation?

A plan lock is a structured review process that finalizes architecture and execution plans during feature ideation or code changes to ensure risks and tradeoffs are addressed.

How do I assess architecture risks and edge cases in a design doc?

Assess architecture risks and edge cases through an interactive review that surfaces tradeoffs, evaluates data flows, and provides actionable recommendations to align the team.

Can I use an engineering review to check test coverage and performance?

Yes, an engineering review checks test coverage and performance by assessing your execution plan, identifying gaps, and suggesting improvements before you start coding.

Does this engineering review work without an existing design doc?

Yes, you can describe your feature idea and request an engineering review to proactively generate architecture plans, data flows, and risk assessments from scratch.

Why should I review my roadmap and architecture before implementation?

Reviewing your roadmap and architecture before implementation prevents costly rework by identifying edge cases, performance bottlenecks, and test coverage gaps early.
