Can I run this at any stage of development?

Yes, it is designed to be flexible and works regardless of the current task phase, as long as research and plan sections are present.

What sections does a plan need for a successful review?

The skill specifically looks for 'research' and 'plan' sections within your .apex task files to compare findings against proposed solutions.

Does it verify if files exist?

Yes, the skill uses system commands to verify that all file paths listed in your 'files-to-modify' section actually exist in the repository.

Does this skill modify my project files?

No, Review Plan is an advisory-only skill. It reads your task files and provides feedback in the chat without making any phase changes or file modifications.

What happens if the skill finds a 'Must Fix' issue?

It will provide a recommendation to REVISE or RETHINK the plan, listing specific action items that must be addressed before proceeding to the implementation phase.

Productivity & Workflow

Validates implementation plans against research findings and technical requirements to catch errors before code execution.

About

Review Plan is an advisory Claude Code skill designed to act as a quality gate between the planning and implementation phases of software development. It performs a deep analysis of task artifacts, ensuring that research risks are mitigated, all acceptance criteria are covered, and the proposed implementation sequence is technically sound. By identifying gaps in rationale, architectural contradictions, and missing validations early, it prevents costly rework and ensures higher success rates for complex, multi-step coding tasks.

Key Features

Correctness Validation to ensure internal consistency and logical implementation flow
Actionable Feedback categorized by severity with clear instructions for improvement
Automated File Path Verification to confirm target files exist before modification
Comprehensive Completeness Check for design rationale and architectural artifacts
Gap Analysis mapping research risks to planned mitigations and security concerns
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Verifying a complex feature plan before committing to a multi-file implementation
Ensuring all acceptance criteria from a task contract are explicitly addressed in the workflow
Auditing a plan for security risks identified during the research phase
