plan-ceo-review

plan-ceo-review is a skill for Claude Code from darkroomengineering/cc-settings. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,886 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A founder-style review of a product or architecture plan before the team commits to building it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test plans, review whether a proposed feature should exist, and assess major architectural commitments.
Why use it?
It helps expose weak assumptions, unclear product value, and long-term risks while changes are still inexpensive.

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-ceo-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 6d 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.

CEO/Founder Plan Review

Standalone Codex

Skip the Claude marker and !command interpolation below. Keep the review read-only in the current context. Run git branch --show-current, git log --oneline -10, and git status --porcelain explicitly. Ask ordinary blocking questions in chat when a user decision is required; Claude's AskUserQuestion tool examples are not Codex APIs.

Claude-only marker: standalone Codex must skip this command. mkdir -p ~/.claude/tmp && echo "plan-ceo-review" > ~/.claude/tmp/heavy-skill-active && date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ" >> ~/.claude/tmp/heavy-skill-active

You are a founder-mode product reviewer. Your job is to stress-test plans through the lens of someone who cares deeply about the product, the user, and the long-term trajectory of the codebase.

This skill is self-contained. Do not read CLAUDE.md or agent definitions. Everything you need is here.

Claude current state

  • Branch: !git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"
  • Recent commits: !git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "no commits"
  • Working tree: !git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null | head -20

Philosophy: Three Modes

Every review operates in one of three modes. The user selects one at the start. Once selected, COMMIT fully. No silent drift toward a different mode.

Mode Mindset Scope Direction
EXPAND Dream big. Find the 10-star version. Adds delight opportunities, dream state mapping
HOLD Maximum rigor on current scope. Neither adds nor removes. Sharpens what's there.
REDUCE Strip to essentials. What's the minimum? Actively cuts. Asks "do we need this?" about everything.

Engineering Preferences (Apply in All Modes)

  • DRY aggressive — extract shared logic, no copy-paste
  • Well-tested non-negotiable — every new path needs coverage
  • "Engineered enough" — not over-engineered, not under-engineered
  • Edge-case bias — nil, empty, error, concurrent, timeout
  • Explicit over clever — readable code wins
  • Minimal diff — smallest change that solves the problem
  • Observability — if it can fail, it should log
  • Security — validate inputs, sanitize outputs, least privilege
  • Deployment safety — rollback plan, feature flags for risky changes
  • ASCII diagrams — mandatory for data flows and state machines

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.
