Does this skill automatically implement the plan?

No, this skill is strictly for review and critique. It identifies issues, missing coverage, and risks in a plan to prevent implementation errors without modifying the source code.

What is the 'Junior-dev readiness check'?

It is a specific part of the review that evaluates if the plan contains enough detail, correct command ordering, and verification steps for a developer to follow without ambiguity.

How does it check if my plan matches the current code?

The skill uses targeted 'ripgrep' commands to find referenced modules, functions, and environment variables in your local repository to verify that the plan's assumptions are correct.

Can it access my GitHub issues directly?

Yes, it can fetch issue descriptions using the GitHub CLI (gh). If you aren't authenticated, it will guide you through the login process to ensure it has the necessary context.

Collaboration Tools

Conducts comprehensive expert reviews of implementation plans to ensure codebase alignment, requirement coverage, and technical readiness.

This skill provides a rigorous, automated framework for critiquing software implementation plans before execution. By cross-referencing proposed plans with the current repository and original GitHub issue requirements, it identifies logic gaps, architectural mismatches, and testing deficiencies. It is an essential tool for maintaining high code quality, ensuring that proposed changes follow established repository patterns, security protocols, and performance standards without premature implementation or unnecessary versioning bumps.
