name	kimchi:review
description	This command should be used to run multi-persona review of the implementation plan. Five specialized personas critique the plan for scope creep, complexity, premature optimization, and test coverage. Fifth stage of the Kimchi planning pipeline. Produces .kimchi/PLAN-REVIEWED.md.

Kimchi Review

<command_purpose> Run 5 specialized review personas against the plan in parallel. Each persona looks for specific problems. User decides which concerns to accept. </command_purpose>

Input

Read .kimchi/PLAN.md. If it doesn't exist, tell the user: "No PLAN.md found. Run /kimchi:generate first."

Also read .kimchi/REQUIREMENTS.md for v1/v2 boundary reference.

Process

1. Launch Review Personas in Parallel

Launch all 5 review agents using the Task tool, each with the PLAN.md content:

- Task feature-trimmer: "Review this plan for non-v1 features that should be cut or deferred"
- Task complexity-detector: "Review this plan for unnecessary complexity and over-engineering"
- Task premature-optimization-detector: "Review this plan for optimizations not yet needed"
- Task scope-guardian: "Review this plan for scope creep and tasks outside feature boundary"
- Task test-coverage-advocate: "Review this plan for missing or insufficient test specifications"

Each persona returns structured concerns in this format:

- What: [the issue]
- Why: [why it's a problem]
- Recommendation: CUT / DEFER TO V2 / SIMPLIFY / KEEP (with justification)

2. Collect and Deduplicate

Gather all concerns from all personas. If multiple personas flag the same issue, merge into one concern noting which personas flagged it.

3. Present to User

Show the review summary:

Review Results
══════════════

Feature Trimmer:     [N] concerns
Complexity Detector: [N] concerns
Premature Optimization: [N] concerns
Scope Guardian:      [N] concerns
Test Coverage:       [N] concerns

─────────────────────────────────

Concern 1: [What]
  Personas: Feature Trimmer, Scope Guardian
  Why: [Explanation]
  Recommendation: DEFER TO V2

  Accept / Reject / Modify? [ask user]

Concern 2: [What]
  ...

Use AskUserQuestion for each concern (or batch them if there are many):

• ACCEPT: Apply the recommendation
• REJECT: Keep the plan as-is
• MODIFY: User provides alternative

4. Handle Contradictions

If personas give contradictory feedback, surface both sides:

CONTRADICTION:
  - Complexity Detector: "Remove resize strategy pattern"
  - Test Coverage: "Add more test cases for resize strategies"

  Both can't be right. Which direction? [ask user]

5. Apply Changes and Write Output

Write .kimchi/PLAN-REVIEWED.md:
