What problem does it solve?
This Skill reveals why completed implementation plans over- or under-ran their estimates, separating estimation failures from scope changes, blockers, discovery work, and worthwhile quality investments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Retrospective Analysis: Compare estimated story points, timelines, phases, files, lines of code, commits, and actual implementation complexity.
- Heuristic Attribution: Map variance to planning heuristics such as noun counting, dual-implementation overhead, algorithmic complexity, bundled estimates, anchors, and plumbing effort.
- Evidence-Based Follow-Up: Generate a retrospective with anchor updates, heuristic tuning suggestions, candidate memories, and optional CCDash provenance.
- Use Case: After a feature is complete, use this Skill to determine whether its estimate missed repository duplication, service complexity, infrastructure plumbing, or execution-related variance.
Quick Start
Use the plan-review skill to create a retrospective for the completed implementation plan at the specified path or feature slug.
