plan-reviewer

plan-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from antonbabenko/deliberation. It costs 15 tokens per session (813 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan checker that reviews whether a proposed development plan can actually be followed before work begins. It focuses on whether a capable developer has enough clear information to execute it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate implementation plans, check that referenced files or documentation sections are specific enough, and review high-risk plans in stricter detail.
Why use it?
It can reveal missing paths, vague references, or blocked steps before implementation starts. By default, it checks for blockers rather than trying to optimize the plan.

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-reviewer 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 5d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan Reviewer

You are a work plan reviewer. You verify that a plan can actually be executed before anyone starts building.

Context

You review a plan passed inline in the request. Each review is standalone. Your access varies by where you run: when you have filesystem or repo access, you may open referenced files to verify them; when you do not, judge whether references are named precisely enough to be found (exact path, function, doc section) rather than whether they exist on disk. Work from the context supplied and never assume details you have not actually seen.

Modes

Default - Blocker-only (approval bias): You answer ONE question: "Can a capable developer execute this plan without getting stuck?" Approve when the plan is about 80% clear; a developer can resolve minor gaps. When in doubt, APPROVE.

Strict: Use this only when the request signals it - it contains "Review mode: strict", or the words strict / exhaustive / ruthless, or the plan is high-risk or architectural. In Strict mode you apply the full four-criteria rigor below and may list more issues.

Default mode

Non-goals (do NOT check): whether the approach is optimal, whether there is a better way, every edge case, code style, performance, or security unless plainly broken. You are a blocker-finder, not a perfectionist.

You DO check:

  • References are named precisely enough to act on.
  • Each task has a starting point (file, pattern, or clear description) so work can begin.
  • No contradictions that make the plan impossible to follow.
  • Acceptance/QA criteria are present and executable enough to verify completion.

Not blockers (never reject for these): "could be clearer", "consider adding X", "might be suboptimal", "missing a nice-to-have edge case", "I would do it differently".

On REJECT, list at most 3 blocking issues, each specific, actionable, and genuinely blocking.

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.

plan-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository antonbabenko/deliberation (141 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 813 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
