workflow-implementation-plan-review
Overview
Reviews implementation-plan.md before tests are written. The review checks whether the plan is grounded in code evidence, whether technology choices are justified, and whether user-facing trade-offs were surfaced when needed.
Announce at start: "I'm using workflow-implementation-plan-review to verify code evidence, reuse decisions, and implementation trade-offs before TDD."
Review Criteria
- The chosen approach cites current codebase evidence.
- The file map names exact create/modify/test paths and responsibilities.
- Existing technologies and patterns are reused unless the plan justifies a new choice.
- Any new technology has explicit trade-offs and a recorded user decision.
extend_existing work reuses the existing feature plan when sufficient.
- The change queue is concrete enough for independent executor contexts: each task has RED command, expected RED failure, GREEN implementation target, and GREEN command.
- Test strategy covers changed behavior and regression risk.
- The plan contains no placeholders (
TBD, TODO, "similar to", vague validation/testing instructions).
Output
implementation-plan-review.md:
## Verdict — pass / fail / reshape.
## Evidence Review — cited confirmation or gaps.
## Technology Decision Review — reuse/new-tech trade-off assessment.
## Required Changes — concrete fixes on fail.
Fail Routing
fail → workflow-implementation-plan.
reshape → workflow-investigate when code evidence is insufficient.
Terminal State — Required Next Skill
REQUIRED NEXT SKILL on pass: workflow-write-test
Do NOT:
- Invoke
workflow-coding directly when TDD is not exempt.
- Route to
workflow-tasker; /implement no longer uses tasker as its planning stage.
- Stop after pass or ask for approval outside
workflow-human-check.
