plan-eng-review

To review an engineering execution plan, you assess architecture, data flows, and test coverage to catch risks and edge-case gaps before coding. This process yields prioritized issues, ASCII diagrams, and tradeoff recommendations for managers.

Generating ASCII diagrams for data flow and state machines helps visualize logic during engineering plan reviews. This Skill automatically produces these diagrams to enforce scope constraints, identify files needing diagram upkeep, and guide interactive tradeoff decisions.

Yes, you can apply this plan review process to pull request evaluations and design proposals. It uses an interactive scope challenge and sectioned workflow to produce per-issue decision prompts, tradeoff recommendations, and a contextual TODOS list.

The best way to enforce scope constraints and check test coverage is through an interactive Step 0 scope challenge followed by sectioned reviews. This approach surfaces scope-smells, proposes a minimal scope, and generates per-issue decision prompts to lock in robust engineering plans.

Your engineering plan review halts for a decision on every issue to enforce interactive tradeoff analysis. By using AskUserQuestion for each identified architectural flaw or gap, it ensures you make an opinionated, prioritized remediation choice before proceeding to the next section.
