plan-review

To create an approval-gated project plan, draft a plan artifact defining scope, milestones, and risks, then establish a reviewer set and explicit approval rules to enable structured evaluation rounds with logged outcomes.

An approval-gated plan is an executable project artifact requiring multi-round reviewer sign-off before implementation. You need one for complex initiatives across repositories and teams when governance, risk assessment, and pre-approval criteria are required.

You set up reviewer roles and milestones for plan governance by defining an explicit reviewer set with named personas and establishing an approval rule that enforces structured evaluation rounds before plan execution.

Yes, you can consolidate feedback across multiple plan revision rounds. The workflow logs outcomes and tracks each evaluation round, allowing you to merge reviewer feedback into an executable plan with explicit next steps.

Yes, plan-review works for cross-repository planning workflows. It applies to complex initiatives across repositories and teams, incorporating repo context, governing instructions, and validation criteria into the plan artifact.

The best way to enforce pre-approval criteria is to define validation criteria within a plan artifact and apply an explicit approval rule with a designated reviewer set, ensuring structured evaluation occurs before any implementation begins.
