Review Plan

Review implementation plans (such as those produced by a plan-writing skill) before execution.

Arguments

• Path: Plan file to review (e.g., docs/plans/2025-01-15-auth-feature.md)

Anti-confabulation (gate 0 — runs before every other gate)

Before issuing any verdict — flag a gap, raise an issue, or assign a verdict — you MUST echo the exact artifact you are judging, quoted from a source you read in this turn:

• For a plan finding: the plan step or section text under review, quoted from the plan file read freshly now (not recalled from earlier in the session) — cite the heading or step number it came from.
• For a claim about the codebase the plan touches (a type, API, or file the plan references): the file:line plus cited code, read freshly now.

The artifact is the only source of truth. Never infer what the plan says from the branch name, the working directory, surrounding files, or recollection. If your mental model differs from the freshly read source, the source wins. A verdict issued without a same-turn echo of its target is invalid — emit the echo first, or do not emit the verdict.

This gate exists because an LLM under contextual priming will confidently flag content that is not in the plan. It runs before the hard gates below.
