document-review

document-review is a skill for Claude Code from tajmahal226/compound-engineering-plugin. It costs 39 tokens per session (679 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured review process for improving brainstorm and plan documents before the next development step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a specified document or the latest document in docs/brainstorms/ or docs/plans/, checking clarity, completeness, specificity, simplicity, and alignment with the intended work.
Why use it?
It identifies unclear writing, missing information, unstated assumptions, avoided decisions, and unnecessary scope before implementation begins.

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

document-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 8d 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.

Document Review

Improve brainstorm or plan documents through structured review.

Step 1: Get the Document

If a document path is provided: Read it, then proceed to Step 2.

If no document is specified: Ask which document to review, or look for the most recent brainstorm/plan in docs/brainstorms/ or docs/plans/.

Step 2: Assess

Read through the document and ask:

  • What is unclear?
  • What is unnecessary?
  • What decision is being avoided?
  • What assumptions are unstated?
  • Where could scope accidentally expand?

These questions surface issues. Don't fix yet—just note what you find.

Step 3: Evaluate

Score the document against these criteria:

Criterion What to Check
Clarity Problem statement is clear, no vague language ("probably," "consider," "try to")
Completeness Required sections present, constraints stated, open questions flagged
Specificity Concrete enough for next step (brainstorm → can plan, plan → can implement)
YAGNI No hypothetical features, simplest approach chosen

If invoked within a workflow (after /ce:brainstorm or /ce:plan), also check:

  • User intent fidelity — Document reflects what was discussed, assumptions validated

Step 4: Identify the Critical Improvement

Among everything found in Steps 2-3, does one issue stand out? If something would significantly improve the document's quality, this is the "must address" item. Highlight it prominently.

Step 5: Make Changes

Present your findings, then:

  1. Auto-fix minor issues (vague language, formatting) without asking
  2. Ask approval before substantive changes (restructuring, removing sections, changing meaning)
  3. Update the document inline—no separate files, no metadata sections

Simplification Guidance

Simplification is purposeful removal of unnecessary complexity, not shortening for its own sake.

Simplify when:

  • Content serves hypothetical future needs, not current ones
  • Sections repeat information already covered elsewhere
  • Detail exceeds what's needed to take the next step
  • Abstractions or structure add overhead without clarity

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.
