Automate code review for INVEST quality and DoR compliance by applying structured gate definitions and scoring rubrics to validate stories before entering the design phase. This ensures high-quality and compliant artefacts.

Expert gate definitions in planning review are formal criteria and scoring rubrics used to enforce INVEST quality, planning coherence, and DoR compliance. They include mechanical guardrails to prevent out-of-sequence dispatch and unverified progress.

Validate sprint plans and acceptance criteria by executing an automated review process that applies formal gate definitions, checking for INVEST quality and planning coherence to ensure readiness for the design phase.

Yes, the planning review process applies mechanical guardrails across multiple AI coding harnesses, specifically Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Cursor, ensuring consistent fail-closed hooks and multi-harness portability.

Yes, you can utilize Outside-In TDD, Clean Architecture, BDD/Gherkin, mutation testing, contract testing, and ADR as discipline skills within the review process to apply specialized lenses like test-integrity and architecture-boundaries.

The automated planning review process requires pypdf, pdfplumber, and pdf2image dependencies, alongside the presence of specific markdown files like gate-definitions.md, Dependencies, and Technical Notes for review completion.
