This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Review a markdown specification across business logic, architecture, performance, security, testing, DevOps/CI/CD, dependencies, standards, UX, documentation, code quality, and maintainability. Generates a structured review, risk register, test plan, implementation tasks, and dimension scores (0–10).

  • Reviewing architectural designs
  • Identifying security risks in specs
  • Preparing implementation plans

About ai-spec-review

Critically assesses technical specs by scoring dimensions like security, maintainability, and DevOps. Generates a risk register and actionable implementation tasks.

Review a markdown specification across business logic, architecture, performance, security, testing, DevOps/CI/CD, dependencies, standards, UX, documentation, code quality, and maintainability. Generates a structured review, risk register, test plan, implementation tasks, and dimension scores (0–10)

When not to use it

  • Summarizing specs without critical review

Limitations

  • Cannot assess dimensions not present in the specification

How it compares

This skill performs a critical design readiness review rather than a simple summary, identifying risks and gaps before implementation.
