Activation
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.
Use after creating a plan in plan mode to critique it for gaps, risks, and clarifying questions before implementation. Triggers on "review plan", "critique plan", "check my plan".Key capabilities
- →Assess plan completeness
- →Evaluate technical feasibility of a plan
- →Review implementation clarity
- →Check dependencies and prerequisites
- →Critique testing strategy
- →Address documentation requirements
How it works
The skill systematically analyzes a plan across several dimensions, provides an overall assessment, and then asks clarifying questions one at a time.
Inputs & outputs
When to use review-plan
- →Critique current implementation plan
- →Check for missed edge cases
- →Validate testing approach
About review-plan
Reviews active development plans against criteria like technical feasibility, testing strategy, and security. It highlights gaps and asks clarifying questions to ensure the plan is actionable.
Use after creating a plan in plan mode to critique it for gaps, risks, and clarifying questions before implementation. Triggers on "review plan", "critique plan", "check my plan".
When not to use it
- →When no active plan exists from plan mode
- →When the user wants minor improvements over critical gaps
Limitations
- →Requires an active plan from plan mode
- →Focuses on critical gaps over minor improvements
- →Does not address enterprise-only dimensions like deployment or timeline realism
How it compares
This skill provides a structured, iterative critique of a plan, focusing on critical gaps and risks, unlike a general or unstructured review.

confidence-check
SuperClaude-Org
Pre-implementation confidence assessment (≥90% required). Use before starting any implementation to verify readiness with duplicate check, architecture compliance, official docs verification, OSS references, and root cause identification.
specification-architect
adrianpuiu
A rigorous, traceability-first system that generates five interconnected architectural documents (blueprint.md, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md, and validation.md) with complete requirements-to-implementation traceability. Use this skill when users need to architect systems, create technical specifications, or develop structured project documentation with guaranteed traceability.
drift-analysis
avifenesh
This skill should be used when the user asks about "plan drift", "reality check", "comparing docs to code", "project state analysis", "roadmap alignment", "implementation gaps", or needs guidance on identifying discrepancies between documented plans and actual implementation state.
flow-next-plan-review
gmickel
Carmack-level plan review via RepoPrompt or Codex. Use when reviewing Flow epic specs or design docs. Triggers on /flow-next:plan-review.
rfc-check
meta-pytorch
Determine if proposed changes require an RFC. Use when planning significant changes, before starting major work, or when asked whether an RFC is needed.
feature-planning
mhattingpete
Break down feature requests into detailed, implementable plans with clear tasks. Use when user requests a new feature, enhancement, or complex change.
