plan-review

plan-review is a skill for Claude Code from duthaho/claudekit. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,685 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review step for an existing implementation plan before coding starts. It checks both the technical design and the experience for the people who will build or use the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing a plan for a non-trivial change, after major edits to that plan, or when implementation has exposed structural problems. It produces a ranked list of fixes for the plan.
Why use it?
It helps catch missing data flows, failure cases, unclear requirements, and awkward developer or user interactions before they become implementation rework.

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 9d 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.

Plan Review

Overview

The plan-review orchestrator. Dispatches plan-review-architecture and plan-review-experience in parallel, collects scored findings from each (0-10 on five sub-dimensions), consolidates them into a single ranked fix list, asks the user to approve fixes, and applies the approved ones to the plan file. The skill exists because plans fail in two distinct directions — architectural soundness (data flow, failure modes, edge cases) and human factors (UX hierarchy, DX touchpoints, error states) — and a single reviewer rarely covers both well. Splitting the review into two specialist passes catches more, faster. Used between write-plan and implementation.

When to Use

  • A plan exists at docs/claudekit/plans/<basename>-plan.md (or equivalent) and implementation hasn't started
  • A plan has been substantially edited and you want a re-review before merge
  • Implementation has started and reviewers have flagged structural issues — back up to plan-review before continuing

When NOT to Use

  • The change is Trivial or Small (see README "Sizing the work") — plan-review is a Standard-tier step; smaller changes go straight to implementation and code-review-loop
  • A previous plan-review already passed and the plan hasn't changed since
  • You don't have a written plan yet (use write-plan first)

Process

Effort tier: plan-review is a Standard-tier gate — it earns its cost when a plan carries real design decisions across multiple files. Trivial and Small changes skip it; their safety net is verification-gate plus code-review-loop on the diff, which never skip regardless of tier. Reviewing a one-task plan is the kind of ceremony that teaches people to route around the gates that matter.

Step 1: Locate and read the plan

Goal: Confirm the plan file exists and meets the minimum bar to be reviewed.

Inputs: A path or filename for the plan.

Actions:

  1. Find the plan file. Default location: docs/claudekit/plans/.
  2. Read it end to end.
  3. Check minimum bar: numbered task list, file paths cited, test commands named, Acceptance: lines present, ## Risks section present.
  4. If the plan fails the minimum bar, return to write-plan. Do not run review on an underdeveloped plan — the reviewers will flag the same things in two different voices and waste cycles.

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.
