Compare an implementation plan against the current codebase
Command definition
plan-review.mdname: plan-review
description: Compare an implementation plan against the current codebase
Load the visual-explainer skill and generate a self-contained HTML plan review.
Inputs
Use `$@` as the plan path or plan text. If no path is given, ask for the plan.
Data gathering before HTML
Read the plan in full. Extract goals, assumptions, proposed files/functions/types, migrations, tests, rollout/release notes, and explicit risks. Read every referenced file, plus importers/dependents that may be affected. Use ripgrep for existing patterns, similar implementations, public API boundaries, config/schema files, and tests.
Source verification
For each proposed change, verify whether referenced files/functions/types exist, whether current behavior matches the plan, what ripple effects are missing, and whether the proposed test coverage fits the current test style. Cite plan sections and file:line evidence.
Required page sections
1. Plan summary: problem, core idea, scope. 2. Accuracy verdict: correct, stale, risky, unsupported, missing. 3. Current architecture: diagram of affected subsystem only. 4. Proposed architecture: matching visual diff against current state. 5. Gap/risk matrix: correctness, tests, API, data model, UX, security/privacy, performance, maintainability, release. 6. File-by-file review: proposed edits, current reality, recommendation. 7. Better plan: concrete corrections or simplifications. 8. Decision: approve, revise, or reject with rationale.
Use current-vs-planned visual language. Include responsive nav. Follow the skill’s Mermaid, overflow, and evidence rules.
Write to `~/.agent/diagrams/` and open in browser.
