SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reviews a plan to ensure the plan follows plan guidelines, helping teams catch misalignments with surface testing, coding standards, and project governance before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface Testing Compliance: verify public API usage, avoid testing internal functions, and ensure test progress aligns with phases.
  • Plan Structure Validation: ensure each phase delivers working, testable increments and clean separation of concerns.
  • Documentation and Governance: enforce CLAUDE.md guidelines and clear, traceable plan documentation.

Quick Start

Run the plan-review checklist against your project to validate public API testing, phase progression, and governance alignment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate an implementation plan against coding guidelines before starting development?

To validate an implementation plan against coding guidelines, you can run an automated plan review that checks your phases for surface testing compliance, public API exposure, and observability requirements to ensure alignment before implementation begins.

What does surface testing compliance mean when reviewing a software implementation plan?

Surface testing compliance in plan review means verifying that your tests target public API usage rather than internal functions, ensuring that test progress aligns correctly with the defined implementation phases of your project.

How do I enforce documentation and governance standards in my project planning?

You can enforce documentation and governance standards in project planning by applying an automated review checklist that validates your plans against CLAUDE.md guidelines, ensuring clear, traceable documentation and proper project governance structure.

Can I use automated plan review to check if my project phases deliver testable increments?

Yes, automated plan review validates plan structure by ensuring each phase delivers working, testable increments with a clean separation of concerns, guiding end-to-end plan validation for your implementation roadmap.

What is the best way to catch misalignments with coding standards before implementation?

The best way to catch misalignments with coding standards before implementation is to run an automated plan guideline review that identifies gaps in surface testing, API exposure, and project governance early in the planning phase.

Do I need any specific dependencies to run a plan guideline review on my project?

No specific dependencies are required to run a plan guideline review, as the skill operates independently to analyze your implementation plans and verify compliance with coding standards, testing guidelines, and documentation requirements.
