FAQPage Schema

How do I get a second opinion on my implementation plan before starting work?▼

Plan-review provides structured critique of Claude's implementation plans using Gemini as a validation layer. Pipe your plan through the Skill to receive assessment of gaps, risks, completeness, and recommended alternatives without modifying source files.

Can I review implementation plans with project context included?▼

Yes. Plan-review reads your plan alongside project context via MCP-based tools or Bash fallback workflows, enabling context-aware analysis that identifies risks and optimization opportunities specific to your codebase and requirements.

What does plan-review actually check for in an implementation plan?▼

Plan-review evaluates implementation plans for gaps in coverage, architectural risks, completeness against requirements, and suggests alternative approaches. It produces structured assessments without interactive modification.

Do I need to modify my plan files to get feedback from plan-review?▼

No. Plan-review enforces non-interactive feedback and never modifies source files. It reads your plan and outputs critique only, preserving your original documents while providing decision support.

Can plan-review work without MCP tools available?▼

Yes. Plan-review supports both MCP-based review workflows and Bash fallback alternatives, so you can validate plans regardless of your environment setup.

When should I use plan-review versus implementing immediately?▼

Use plan-review when a newly created plan requires validation before implementation or when you need a second opinion to spot risks and alternatives. It's most valuable before committing resources to a design direction.
