What it does

When a product or feature plan is ready, this skill makes the agent critique it through three lenses: business strategy (who it serves, competitors, scope, opportunity cost), design and UX (scored 0-10 across information architecture, interaction states, accessibility and more), and engineering clarity (whether acceptance criteria are specific enough for developers). The agent then produces a structured report with blocking, important and nice-to-have issues, plus recommended next steps. It also points to a companion exec-summary skill for a closing summary.

Great for

  • Product managers reviewing a SPEC.md or requirements doc before handing it to developers
  • Teams that want a structured checklist to catch scope gaps and missing UX states early
  • Designers and engineers who want a PM-side clarity check on a feature brief

Skip it if

  • Code review or architecture decisions, since the skill explicitly leaves technical design to developers
  • Final approval decisions: the scores and findings are the agent's opinion and need human judgement
  • Plans that depend on company-specific context the agent cannot see, such as real personas or competitor data, unless those files are supplied

Try asking

  • “Review my SPEC.md in the checkout-redesign folder before development starts”
  • “Run a multi-perspective plan review on this requirements doc and list blocking issues”
  • “Score the design of this feature plan on information architecture, accessibility and AI integration”
  • “Generate a plan review report and an executive summary for the new onboarding feature”

    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

  • Put validation.md, background.md and supporting mockups in the feature folder so the review can reference real context rather than guessing.
  • Ask for a specific lens (for example only the design review) if you want a shorter, focused critique.
  • Treat the 0-10 scores as rough signals to discuss, not objective measurements.
