SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates a dedicated review step that validates plans and designs before they are surfaced to users, ensuring governance and alignment with project goals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dispatches a single review sub-agent to evaluate a plan or design content and provide governance signals.
  • Applies mandatory gating before presenting designs or exiting plan mode, with artifact-type aware prompts and rubrics.
  • Works at the orchestrator level and is not itself dispatched as a sub-agent; ensures safe, repeatable review in multi-agent workflows.

Quick Start

Invoke /dso:plan-review before presenting any plan or design to the user, or before calling ExitPlanMode.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gate design reviews before presenting plans to users in a multi-agent workflow?

To gate design reviews before user-facing presentation, a plan review step dispatches a sub-agent to evaluate artifacts, applies mandatory gating, and writes a status marker to signal completion. This prevents unvetted work from reaching approval.

What is an orchestrator-level plan review and when do I need it?

An orchestrator-level plan review is a governance step that validates designs and implementation plans before they are surfaced to users. You need it when exiting plan mode or presenting designs to ensure alignment with project goals.

How do I validate implementation plans against a schema before calling ExitPlanMode?

To validate implementation plans before calling ExitPlanMode, dispatch a review sub-agent that selects rubrics by artifact type, validates outputs against a schema, and enforces an agent-tool guard to ensure only vetted plans proceed.

Can I use a sub-agent to review design artifacts in an automated workflow?

Yes, you can dispatch a single review sub-agent to evaluate design or implementation plan artifacts. The orchestrator applies artifact-type aware prompts and rubrics, providing governance signals before user-facing release.

What are the limitations of using an orchestrator for plan review?

A key limitation is that an orchestrator-level plan review works at the orchestrator level and is not itself dispatched as a sub-agent. It is designed for safe, repeatable review in multi-agent workflows rather than nested sub-agent execution.

Does plan-review work with different artifact types like designs and implementation plans?

Yes, plan review supports artifact types like design and implementation_plan. It selects review rubrics based on the specific artifact type, applying artifact-type aware prompts to evaluate the content and provide governance signals.
