A command that creates a visual HTML review comparing the current codebase with a proposed implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an implementation plan against the codebase and export the review as a standalone HTML page.
Why use it?
It makes planned work and its differences from the existing system easier to review before implementation.

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

plan-review 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to plan-review — 92 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Load SKILL.md. Compare plan $1 with codebase $2, or the current directory when $2 is omitted.

Establish the evidence

  1. Read the plan: problem, proposed changes, reasoning, rejected alternatives, and scope.
  2. Inspect referenced files and affected callers, tests, configuration, types, schemas, and public APIs.
  3. Verify that referenced symbols exist and that the plan describes current behavior accurately.
  4. Map each proposed change to its dependencies and validation needs. Record claim sources as plan sections or file:line; mark unknowns explicitly.

Compose the review

Lead with the plan's intended behavior and the most consequential finding. Use as much structure as the evidence needs:

  • Current and proposed behavior, with matching names and layout direction in comparison diagrams.
  • Change-by-change discrepancies, omitted dependencies, and unsupported assumptions.
  • Concrete risks: triggering condition, consequence, evidence, and mitigation. Include migration, rollback, concurrency, or ordering only where relevant.
  • Recorded rationale and alternatives. An absent explanation is unknown, not an invitation to invent one.
  • Existing validation and gaps that must be resolved before implementation.
  • A short list of decisions or corrections needed to proceed.

Use cards/web-diagram.md for diagrams and cards/comparison-table.md for comparison tables. Default to the Lieflat-inspired preset. Show additions and removals with explicit labels; avoid glow, confidence badges, impact dashboards, invented line estimates, and empty Good/Bad/Ugly categories.

Author MDX/TSX and export to ~/.agent/diagrams/<slug>-plan-review.html. Complete references/verification.md, open the result, and return the source, HTML, final report, and remaining uncertainty.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
