What types of documents can this skill review?

This skill is specifically designed to refine brainstorm and planning documents, typically located in your project's docs/brainstorms/ or docs/plans/ directories.

Does the Document Review skill automatically edit my files?

It automatically fixes minor issues like vague language and formatting, but it will always ask for your approval before making substantive structural or meaningful changes.

Can I use this as part of a larger workflow?

Yes, it is optimized to run immediately after brainstorm or planning workflows to ensure the generated documentation accurately reflects user intent and project constraints.

How does this skill help prevent scope creep?

It evaluates documents against 'YAGNI' (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles, flagging hypothetical features and unstated assumptions that might unnecessarily expand the project scope.

Refines brainstorm and planning documents through structured evaluation to ensure clarity, completeness, and actionable next steps.

The Document Review skill streamlines the transition from ideation to implementation by providing a rigorous, multi-step critique of technical plans and brainstorms. It identifies vague language, unstated assumptions, and unnecessary complexity (YAGNI) while ensuring the document aligns with user intent. By scoring documents on clarity and specificity, it helps developers harden their specifications before writing code, effectively reducing scope creep and architectural debt through purposeful simplification.
