What problem does it solve?
Engineering teams waste significant time implementing flawed architectures because they skip structured plan reviews. Issues with data flow, edge cases, or test coverage often surface during or after coding, leading to expensive rework and delayed releases.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Interactive Architecture Review: Walks through system design, data flow, and diagrams with opinionated recommendations.
- Comprehensive Plan Validation: Checks edge cases, test coverage, and performance before implementation begins.
- Proactive Suggestions: Automatically suggests review when a design doc exists and coding is about to start.
- Use Case: An engineering manager has a design doc for a new payment processing pipeline. This skill walks through the architecture interactively, flags missing retry logic and idempotency checks, and locks in a plan that prevents production incidents.
Quick Start
Use the plan-eng-review skill to review the attached architecture design document and lock in the execution plan before implementation begins.
