SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Engineering plans often hide architecture flaws, missing edge cases, and weak test coverage that only surface after coding starts. This Skill locks in an execution plan by walking through it interactively with opinionated recommendations before implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Architecture and data flow review: Examines the plan's structure, diagrams, and data flow to catch design issues early. - Interactive decision walkthrough: Uses structured AskUserQuestion decision briefs with recommendations, pros/cons, and completeness scores for each issue found. - Edge case, test coverage, and performance checks: Flags gaps in error handling, testing strategy, and performance considerations before code is written. - Use Case: You have a design doc for a new feature and are about to start coding. Run this Skill to get an engineering-manager-style review that catches a missing database index and an unhandled race condition before they become production bugs. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run an engineering review of your implementation plan or architecture doc before you start coding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an architecture plan before coding?

Invoke this Skill with your plan or design doc in context. It walks through architecture, data flow, edge cases, and test coverage interactively, presenting each issue as a decision brief with a recommendation and tradeoffs.

What does an engineering plan review check for?

It checks architecture soundness, data flow correctness, diagrams, edge cases, test coverage, and performance risks. Each finding is presented with options, pros and cons, and a completeness score so you can lock in the plan.

Can I use this Skill in plan mode?

Yes, the Skill is designed to run in plan mode. Its AskUserQuestion prompts satisfy plan mode's end-of-turn requirement, and plan-safe operations like reading files and writing to the plan file are explicitly allowed.

When should I run a plan review versus just starting to code?

Run it when you have a plan or design doc and are about to implement, especially for changes touching data models, architecture, or multiple components. It catches design issues when they are cheap to fix, before implementation.

Does the plan review make decisions automatically?

No, it presents each issue as an interactive decision brief with a recommendation, but you decide. Auto-decision only happens if a separate AUTO_DECIDE opt-in is configured or the session is spawned by an orchestrator.
