SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Engineering plans often hide scope creep, missing test coverage, and unexamined tradeoffs until implementation begins. This Skill forces a structured, engineering-manager-style review of any plan before code changes, surfacing issues section by section with opinionated recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scope Challenge (Step 0): Identifies existing code that already solves sub-problems, flags overbuilt plans, and offers scope reduction, big-change, or small-change review modes. - Four Review Sections: Walks through architecture, code quality, test coverage (with a mandatory test diagram), and performance, asking one interactive question per issue with lettered options and a stated recommendation. - Required Outputs: Produces "NOT in scope" and "What already exists" sections, failure-mode analysis, TODOS.md proposals, and a completion summary. - Use Case: Before implementing a multi-file feature touching models, services, and tests, run this review to catch DRY violations, missing edge-case handling, and untested failure modes interactively. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review your implementation plan using the plan-eng-review skill before writing any code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an implementation plan before writing code?▼

Present your plan and invoke this review workflow, which starts with a scope challenge and then walks through architecture, code quality, tests, and performance sections. Each issue is raised as an individual question with lettered options and a stated recommendation.

What does an engineering plan review checklist include?▼

This review covers scope reduction opportunities, existing code reuse, dependency and coupling concerns, DRY violations, edge-case handling, test coverage for new codepaths, N+1 queries, caching, and failure modes. It also produces NOT-in-scope and what-already-exists sections.

Can I get a quick plan review instead of a full one?▼

Yes. Choose the SMALL CHANGE mode, which runs the scope challenge plus one combined pass picking the single most important issue per section, ending with one batched question round. BIG CHANGE mode reviews each section interactively instead.

Does the plan review check test coverage for new code?▼

Yes. The test review section builds a diagram of all new UX, data flows, codepaths, and branching logic, then verifies each item has a corresponding test. It also flags failure modes lacking both tests and error handling as critical gaps.

When should I not use an interactive plan review?▼

Skip it for trivial single-file changes with obvious fixes and no real tradeoffs, where the escape-hatch rule applies anyway. The interactive question-per-issue format adds the most value for plans touching multiple files or introducing new services.
