SWE Plan Governance
Applies an opinionated software engineering rubric to build plans, architecture specs, and PRDs to enforce minimal scope, blast radius control, and verifiable proof.
The SWE Plan Governance skill acts as an architectural gate and review rubric for technical specifications, RFCs, PRDs, and v1.x implementation plans before any code is written. By evaluating proposals across four core pillars—Minimal scope, Diagnosable failure paths, Blast radius accounting, and Verifiable proof of completion—along with Pillar 0 system reconnaissance, it prevents premature abstractions, hidden one-way doors, and unverified assumptions. Whether used in author mode to scaffold disciplined project docs or review mode to audit proposed architectures, this skill ensures production-ready engineering standards from day one.
