name: plan-technical-review user-invocable: true description: Reviews an externally-authored implementation plan for quality, VGV conventions, and scope. Plans created by /plan are already reviewed during creation. when_to_use: Use to review a plan you did not create with /plan — a hand-written plan or one from another tool. Triggers on "review the plan", "is this plan ready", "validate my plan", or "check the plan". argument-hint: path to plan file effort: high compatibility: Designed for Claude Code (or similar products with agent support)
Review a plan that was not created by `/plan`. `/plan` runs this same review inline during creation, so use this skill for externally-authored plans — hand-written, from another tool, or from a teammate.
**Plan file:** `$ARGUMENTS` (if empty, ask the user for the plan path or pick the most recent file under `docs/plan/`).
Follow the [plan review procedure](references/plan-review.md) with `<PLAN_PATH>` set to the plan file. It runs the simplicity, VGV, and scope-splitting agents in parallel, applies their findings to the plan inline, and resolves any scope-splitting recommendation.
After the review completes, use **AskUserQuestion** to present next steps:
**Question**: "Technical review complete! What would you like to do next?"
**Options:**
1. **Clear context and build (Recommended)**: clear context for a fresh start, then build 2. **Start building**: execute the plan with `/build` 3. **Refine the plan**: improve the plan based on review findings 4. **Done for now**: review complete
**If the user selects "Clear context and build"** → Follow the [clear context handoff](references/clear-context-handoff.md) for `/build` with the actual plan file path. Then stop.
**When invoked by another skill**, return control to the caller after the review completes — do not present handoff options.
