SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured plan reviews provide a disciplined, repeatable process to ensure that non-trivial changes are well-scoped, well-reviewed, and ready for production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase 0 self-review and outcome specification to prevent scope creep and misaligned goals.
  • 5-phase technical review (Architecture, Code Quality, Tests, Performance, Production Readiness) with categorized severity triage, decision logging, and blast radius assessment.
  • Modes (Big Change, Small Change, Review Only) to match the rigor to the scope and risk of the change.
  • References and guidance files to standardize decisions and ensure traceability across reviews.
  • Use cases include reviewing plans, PRs, or preparing non-trivial changes for implementation.

Quick Start

Start a plan-mode review on a PR by selecting a mode and running Phase 0 self-review, then proceed through the 5-phase review.

FAQPage Schema
What is a structured plan review for production readiness?

A structured plan review is a disciplined workflow ensuring safe changes through Phase 0 self-review, a 5-phase technical review, and blast radius assessment before production deployment.

How do I perform a code review for architectural changes?

To perform an architecture code review, select a mode matching your change scope, run Phase 0 self-review, then proceed through the 5-phase technical review covering architecture, tests, and performance.

Can I use this review protocol for small pull requests?

Yes, you can use this review protocol for small pull requests by selecting the Small Change mode, which matches the review rigor to the scope and risk of your specific change.

What is Phase 0 self-review in a plan mode workflow?

Phase 0 self-review is the initial step in the plan mode workflow that defines outcomes and prevents scope creep before proceeding to the technical review and blast radius assessment.

How does blast radius assessment work during code triage?

Blast radius assessment evaluates the potential impact of changes during code triage, categorizing severity and logging decisions to ensure traceability before requiring explicit human approval.

What is the best way to log decisions during a technical review?

The best way to log decisions during a technical review is using a structured protocol that records triage outcomes, severity categories, and reference files to ensure traceability across reviews.
