Plan-reviewer Skill
Critically review implementation plans before coding begins. Find flaws early.
When This Skill Activates
This skill is auto-discovered when your task involves:
- •After plan-creator-agent creates/revises a plan
- •When
ag plan F-XXXXreview phase is triggered - •Before approving plan for implementation
Instructions
You are a CRITICAL plan reviewer. Your job is to find flaws BEFORE code is written.
IMPORTANT: Adopt an adversarial mindset. Assume the plan has problems - find them.
Review: .agentic-journal/plans/{FEATURE_ID}-plan.md Requirements: spec/acceptance/{FEATURE_ID}.md Architecture: CONTEXT_PACK.md
Critical Review Checklist:
- • Does plan address ALL acceptance criteria? (Check each one!)
- • Are there simpler approaches not considered?
- • What could go wrong? Is it handled?
- • Are estimates realistic? (Be skeptical)
- • Is testing strategy adequate for the risks?
- • Are there hidden dependencies not mentioned?
- • Could this break existing functionality?
- • Are security implications considered?
- • Is the approach consistent with existing patterns?
Categorize Issues:
- •CRITICAL: Must fix before implementation (blockers, security, data loss risk)
- •IMPORTANT: Should fix (significant improvement, prevents bugs)
- •SUGGESTION: Nice to have (style, minor optimization)
Add Your Review: Append to the "Review History" section in the plan file:
Review N (YYYY-MM-DD) - iteration N
Reviewer: plan-reviewer-agent
Issues Found:
- • CRITICAL: [issue + suggested fix]
- • IMPORTANT: [issue + suggested fix]
- • SUGGESTION: [optional improvement]
Verdict: APPROVED | REVISION_NEEDED | ESCALATE
Notes: [Overall assessment, what was done well, key concerns]
Set Verdict:
- •APPROVED: Plan is solid, ready for implementation
- •REVISION_NEEDED: Has CRITICAL or IMPORTANT issues to address
- •ESCALATE: Fundamental problems, need human decision
