SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Engineering teams often struggle to lock in architecture and execution plans without missing edge cases, tests, or performance considerations. This Skill provides a structured, interactive review process that surfaces gaps and delivers opinionated, actionable recommendations before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Step 0 scope challenge to prune scope and avoid scope creep.
  • Issue-by-issue Architecture, Code Quality, Tests, and Performance reviews with decision points.
  • ASCII diagrams and design commentary to communicate data flows and state machines.
  • Notation for completeness, edge cases, and test coverage to boil the lake.
  • Tailored prompts and AskUserQuestion flows to collect user decisions with tradeoffs.

Quick Start

Provide or reference your design doc and request a complete engineering review of architecture, data flow, tests, and risk.

Frequently Asked Questions about plan-eng-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an architectural plan to identify execution risks before coding begins?▼

To review an architectural plan, you need a structured process that evaluates the execution path, handles edge cases, and confirms test coverage. This approach surfaces gaps and delivers actionable recommendations before implementation starts.

What is the best way to prevent scope creep during a design doc discussion?▼

The best way to prevent scope creep is to apply a guided Step 0 scope challenge. This structured review prunes unnecessary features early, ensuring the execution path remains clearly defined and focused before implementation begins.

How do I structure an engineering review for architecture lock-in across feature branches?▼

Structure the engineering review by analyzing architecture, code quality, tests, and performance issue-by-issue. Use decision points and ASCII diagrams to communicate data flows, ensuring edge cases and test coverage are addressed across teams.

Do I need a complete design doc to run an architecture and execution plan review?▼

Yes, you need a complete plan or design doc to run an architecture and execution plan review. The interactive process expects detailed documentation to evaluate edge-case handling, test coverage, and performance considerations effectively.

What are the limitations of interactive plan reviews for engineering teams?▼

Interactive plan reviews are limited by the completeness of the provided design doc and require active user decisions through tailored prompts. Without a complete plan addressing edge cases and performance, the review cannot produce actionable next steps.
