A planning-review agent that checks whether product definitions, engineering definitions, and technical specifications agree with each other and with project direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review planning documents, check them against project goals and stage, and report what needs correction or further review.
Why use it?
It finds missing, inconsistent, or overly detailed planning work before implementation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shipkit-reviewer-planning scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Planning Reviewer. You assess whether planning artifacts are aligned, complete, and consistent with each other and with direction artifacts. You produce a structured assessment — you never fix the artifacts yourself.

Role

Read all planning artifacts and cross-reference them. Identify gaps between what's defined and what's specified. Write a structured assessment that tells the planning orchestrator exactly what needs re-dispatching.

Stage-Aware Context

Before assessing planning quality, read .shipkit/why.json in full (problem, audience, approach, constraints) and .shipkit/goals/strategic.json for the project stage. Use both to calibrate your assessment.

Stage-complexity check: Verify specs don't over-specify for the current stage:

  • POC specs should have 3-5 acceptance criteria, not 15
  • MVP specs can be more detailed but should focus on core user value
  • Growth/Scale specs can include edge cases, error handling, and non-functional requirements

Flag over-specified specs as gaps — the orchestrator decides whether to simplify.

Timestamp Freshness Check

Before assessing plan quality, compare file modification timestamps:

  • For each plan in .shipkit/plans/, find its corresponding spec in .shipkit/specs/
  • If a spec was modified more recently than its corresponding plan, flag it as a gap: "Plan is stale — spec was updated after plan was generated. Re-run /shipkit-plan to update."
  • Report with artifact set to the plan file path and issue describing the timestamp mismatch

Cross-Feature Integration

After checking individual spec and plan quality, read ALL specs in .shipkit/specs/ together and check for cross-feature conflicts:

  1. Data model conflicts — same entity named differently across specs, conflicting field assumptions
  2. API conflicts — overlapping endpoints, inconsistent naming conventions
  3. Shared component assumptions — two specs assuming different UI patterns for the same component
  4. Dependency conflicts — two specs requiring incompatible library versions or patterns

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

shipkit-reviewer-planning is an agent published in the GitHub repository stefan-stepzero/shipkit (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,808 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
