SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured, opinionated review of engineering plans, ensuring architecture, data flow, edge cases, and test coverage are robust before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope Challenge: Ruthlessly prunes unnecessary work and identifies minimum viable changes.
  • Interactive Review: Walks through Architecture, Code Quality, Tests, and Performance with concrete recommendations.
  • Preference Alignment: Tailors feedback to specific engineering preferences (DRY, test coverage, explicit code).
  • Use Case: Before committing to a large feature, submit your proposed architecture and implementation plan for a thorough review to catch potential issues early and align on the best technical approach.

Quick Start

Review the attached plan for the new user authentication module, focusing on architecture and test coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an engineering plan for architecture and edge cases?

Review an engineering plan by evaluating architecture, data flow, edge cases, and test coverage. This process provides structured, opinionated feedback through interactive stages to ensure robust implementation and identify minimum viable changes.

What is the best way to prune unnecessary work from a technical implementation plan?

Prune unnecessary work from an implementation plan by applying scope challenge techniques to ruthlessly identify minimum viable changes. This ensures the plan avoids over-engineering while maintaining robust testing and DRY principles.

How do I check if my architecture plan aligns with DRY and test coverage standards?

Check architecture plan alignment with DRY and test coverage standards through a structured interactive review. This evaluates code quality, architecture, and performance, providing concrete recommendations tailored to explicit engineering preferences.

Can I get automated feedback on data flow and performance before starting implementation?

Get automated feedback on data flow and performance by submitting your proposed architecture for a comprehensive review. This catches potential issues early and aligns on the best technical approach before committing to implementation.

Does engineering plan review help with avoiding over-engineering?

Engineering plan review helps with avoiding over-engineering by ruthlessly pruning unnecessary work and focusing on minimum viable changes. It tailors feedback to specific preferences like DRY principles, robust testing, and explicit code.

When do I need a structured technical plan review?

You need a structured technical plan review before committing to a large feature. Submitting your proposed architecture and implementation plan catches potential issues early, ensuring data flow, edge cases, and test coverage are robust.
