What it does

When you ask your AI agent to review a planning document, this skill makes it act like a panel of specialist reviewers. It sends the document to several reviewer sub-agents (for coherence, feasibility, and sometimes product, design, security, or adversarial concerns), then combines their findings into a short list of real problems. It applies only fixes it is already allowed to make and asks you about the rest.

Great for

  • Product managers or founders who want a spec checked for gaps before building
  • Engineers who want a technical plan sanity-checked for feasibility before work starts
  • Teams using compound-engineering workflows that produce requirements and plan files

Skip it if

  • Final legal, security, or compliance sign-off: it gives AI-generated review, not expert certification
  • Very short or informal notes where a full multi-reviewer pass adds cost without value
  • Documents containing sensitive personal or confidential data, since some reviewers can send content to other models if enabled (the cross-model pass is additive and can be skipped)

Try asking

  • “Review docs/plans/my-feature-plan.md and tell me what would block implementation”
  • “Run a non-interactive review of /tmp/spec.md and return structured findings”
  • “Check this requirements document for contradictions and missing decisions”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give an explicit file path so the skill does not have to guess which plan to review
  • Answer the decision questions it raises; those need your authority, not the agent's
  • Check the Coverage section to see which reviewers ran or failed
