SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured engineering plan review that surfaces hidden assumptions by forcing explicit data flows, state machines, edge cases, and test strategies into the open.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive review of data flow diagrams, state machines, error handling, dependencies, and risk assessment.
  • Documentation of open questions, rollback plans, and observability requirements to ensure implementability.
  • Use Case: before implementing a major architectural decision, execute a plan-eng-review to validate all critical paths and failures.

Quick Start

Review the current engineering plan and document any hidden assumptions, data flows, and risk factors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an engineering plan to surface hidden assumptions?

An architecture review validates technical plans by diagramming data flows, mapping error handling, and documenting rollback plans and observability requirements. This structured review ensures your architecture decisions cover critical paths, security checks, and test strategies before implementation begins.

What should be included in an architecture decision review?

Include data flow diagrams, state machines, error mapping, dependency graphs, and test strategies in your architecture review. Documenting observability requirements, rollback plans, security checks, and open questions ensures critical paths and failure modes are validated before implementation.

When do I need a structured plan review before implementation?

Apply a structured plan review before implementing major architectural decisions to validate critical paths and failure modes. This ensures observability, test strategy, and rollback plans are documented, surfacing hidden assumptions and data flows before implementation begins.

How do I document failure modes and edge cases in a technical plan?

Document failure modes and edge cases by mapping error handling, state machines, and dependency graphs within your technical plan. A structured engineering review forces explicit data flows and test strategies into the open to validate risk factors and ensure implementability.

Does this engineering plan review cover test strategy and rollback plans?

Yes, the engineering plan review covers test strategy and rollback plans. It enforces a structured review with dedicated sections for test strategy, rollback plans, observability requirements, security checks, and open questions to ensure comprehensive architecture validation.
