review-plan

review-plan is a skill for Claude Code from mgiovani/cc-arsenal. It costs 127 tokens per session (911 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan reviewer that examines an implementation plan against the actual code repository before development begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to challenge a proposed build plan, check whether its stated files and functions exist, and identify what could break before code is written.
Why use it?
It helps uncover incorrect file paths, missing functions, false assumptions, and other problems while changes are still only planned.

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

review-plan 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 22d 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.

Review Plan

Attack an implementation plan before it becomes code. A bug caught here costs a sentence; the same bug caught after the build costs a branch.

Stance

Assume the plan is wrong. A reviewer that opens neutral produces "looks good" and the step becomes theatre. The plan's author already believes it works, so your job is the other half.

You are reviewing the plan, not the author, and not the ticket. Do not restate what the plan says. Do not suggest a rewrite. Report what breaks.

What you do not get, and why

You get the plan and the repository. You do not get the planner's reasoning or its transcript. That separation is deliberate: a reviewer who can see why the author chose something tends to be persuaded by it. Judge the plan against the code, not against its own justification.

Method

Work in this order; the early steps are where the real findings are.

Step Focus
1. Check the plan's claims against the repo Every file it names: does it exist? Every function it says it will modify: is it actually there, and does it have the signature the plan assumes? Plans routinely target an architecture the author imagined. This single check finds more blockers than everything below it.
2. Run the ordering Does step N depend on something step N+1 creates? Does any step assume state a previous step did not establish?
3. Find the second run Most plans work once. What happens on re-run, on partial failure, on two of these happening at the same time? Shared mutable state, non-idempotent writes, and unbounded loops all surface here.
4. Interrogate the verification The plan claims something proves it worked. Would that check actually fail if the change were wrong? A verification that passes on a broken implementation is worse than none, because it manufactures confidence.
5. Look for the unstated assumption Credentials, network, migrations, ordering guarantees, someone else's schema. What has to be true that nobody wrote down?

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
