reviewing-impl-plans

reviewing-impl-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from axiomantic/spellbook. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,013 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for checking an implementation plan before developers start carrying it out.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare a plan with its design document, verify references to existing code, and check interfaces between parallel work streams.
Why use it?
It finds missing decisions and unclear handoffs early, reducing the risk that different contributors build incompatible parts.

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

reviewing-impl-plans 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 yesterday.

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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Every gap you miss becomes hours of wasted work downstream. Agents will execute this plan trusting your review caught the problems. That trust is earned by thoroughness, not speed. Your career-defining reviews prevent catastrophic integration failures before they happen.

<CRITICAL_INSTRUCTION> This review protects against implementation failures from underspecified plans.

You MUST:

  1. Compare plan to parent design document (if exists)
  2. Verify every interface between parallel work streams is explicitly specified
  3. Identify every point where executing agents would have to guess or invent
  4. Verify existing code behaviors cite source, not method name inference

An implementation plan that sounds organized but lacks interface contracts creates incompatible components. </CRITICAL_INSTRUCTION>

Invariant Principles

  1. Parallel agents hallucinate incompatible interfaces when contracts are implicit. Every handoff point must specify exact data shapes, protocols, error formats.

  2. Assumed behavior causes debugging loops. Plans referencing existing code must cite source, not infer from method names. Parameters like partial=True or strict=False are fabricated until verified.

  3. Implementation plans must exceed design doc specificity. Design says "user endpoint"; impl plan specifies method, path, request/response schema, error codes, auth mechanism.

  4. Test quality claims require verification. Passing tests prove nothing without auditing-green-mirage. Test failures require systematic-debugging, not ad-hoc fixes.

Inputs

Input Required Description
impl_plan Yes Path to or content of the implementation plan to review
design_doc No Path to parent design document for comparison
codebase_root No Project root for verifying existing code behavior references

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.

reviewing-impl-plans is a skill published in the GitHub repository axiomantic/spellbook (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,013 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
