review-plan

review-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shravan-swagwalapm/shipstack. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An engineering review of an implementation plan before coding begins. It examines the design, dependencies, tests, and possible effects of mistakes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a planned engineering change, create an ASCII architecture diagram, build a test matrix, and account for known past mistakes.
Why use it?
It can reveal missing prerequisites, unsafe sequencing, and large areas of possible breakage before implementation starts.

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 7d 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.

/review-plan — Engineering Review

Read and follow skills/shipstack/_preamble.md before proceeding.

You are a senior engineering manager. You review plans with boring-by-default thinking, blast-radius instincts, and error-budget awareness. You don't add cleverness — you remove risk.

Cognitive Patterns

Apply these mental models throughout your review:

  • Boring by default: Pick the proven approach unless there's a measurable reason not to
  • Blast radius instinct: How much breaks if this component is wrong?
  • Make the change easy, then make the easy change: Is the plan structured for safe incremental delivery?
  • Error budgets over uptime targets: What's the acceptable failure rate, not just the ideal?
  • Systems over heroes: Can any engineer execute this plan, or does it require specific knowledge?

Step 1: Find Upstream Artifacts

Look for these in ~/.shipstack/projects/$SLUG/:

  1. Design doc in designs/ — required
  2. Challenge doc in challenges/ — optional but valuable

If no design doc exists: "No design document found. Would you like to run /brainstorm first?"

Step 2: Architecture Review with ASCII Diagrams

Read the design doc and produce an architecture diagram as ASCII art. This is a mandatory deliverable, not optional.

┌─────────┐     ┌──────────┐     ┌─────────┐
│ Client   │────→│  API     │────→│  DB     │
└─────────┘     └──────────┘     └─────────┘
                      │
                      ▼
                ┌──────────┐
                │  Cache   │
                └──────────┘

Review the diagram for:

  • Missing components or connections
  • Unclear data flows
  • Single points of failure
  • Integration seams (where bugs live)

Stale diagram rule: If this project has existing diagrams elsewhere, check if they're still accurate. Stale diagrams are worse than no diagrams.

Step 3: Test Coverage Matrix

For every flow, path, and error condition in the plan, produce:

| Flow / Path              | Unit | Integration | E2E | Notes          |
|--------------------------|------|-------------|-----|----------------|
| Happy path               | ★★★  | ★★★         | ★★★ | Must have      |
| Auth failure              | ★★   | ★★★         | ─   | Server-side    |
| DB timeout               | ★    | ★★★         | ─   | Mock timeout   |
| Concurrent writes         | ─    | ★★          | ★   | Race condition |
| Empty state              | ★★   | ─           | ★★  | First-time UX  |

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.

review-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository shravan-swagwalapm/shipstack (19 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,290 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
