Plan technical review
Review a plan that was not created by /plan. /plan runs this same review inline during
creation, so use this skill for externally-authored plans — hand-written, from another tool,
or from a teammate.
Plan file: $ARGUMENTS (if empty, ask the user for the plan path or pick the most recent file under docs/plan/).
Review
Follow the plan review procedure with <PLAN_PATH> set to the
plan file. It runs the simplicity, VGV, and scope-splitting agents in parallel, applies their
findings to the plan inline, and resolves any scope-splitting recommendation.
Handoff
After the review completes, use AskUserQuestion to present next steps:
Question: "Technical review complete! What would you like to do next?"
Options:
- Clear context and build (Recommended): clear context for a fresh start, then build
- Start building: execute the plan with
/build
- Refine the plan: improve the plan based on review findings
- Done for now: review complete
If the user selects "Clear context and build" → Follow the clear context handoff for /build with the actual plan file path. Then stop.
When invoked by another skill, return control to the caller after the review completes — do not present handoff options.
