Does this skill require external software?

Yes, this skill requires rp-cli (RepoPrompt CLI) to be installed and accessible in your environment to build context and manage review windows.

What does 'Carmack-level' review mean?

It refers to an extremely thorough, low-level, and rigorous technical inspection, named after legendary programmer John Carmack, focusing on performance, correctness, and system integrity.

Can I use external LLMs like GPT-4 for the review?

Yes, the skill includes an export mode that packages the entire codebase context and plan into a file formatted for use with external web-based LLMs.

How does it differ from a standard code review?

Unlike standard reviews that look at code changes, this skill focuses on 'Plan Reviews'—evaluating the logic and architecture of a proposal before implementation begins.

What is Flow Plan Review?

Collaboration Tools

Coordinates rigorous, Carmack-level architecture and implementation plan reviews using the RepoPrompt context builder.

About

Flow Plan Review is a specialized coordination skill designed to elevate the quality of technical planning. Rather than performing a surface-level critique, it utilizes the rp-cli tool to construct a deep, multi-file context of your codebase, delegating the actual review to RepoPrompt's high-reasoning environments. This ensures that implementation plans, design specs, and architectural changes are vetted against the full reality of your repository, preventing drift and catching edge cases before a single line of code is written.
