Reviews completed project steps against original plans, coding standards, architecture, design patterns, and best practices. Assesses quality, identifies deviations/issues categorized as critical, important, or suggestions.
Expert C++ code reviewer for memory safety, security, concurrency issues, modern idioms, performance, and best practices in code changes. Delegate for all C++ projects.
Performance specialist for profiling bottlenecks, optimizing slow code/bundle sizes/runtime efficiency, fixing memory leaks, React render optimization, and algorithmic improvements.

Then proceed with the steps below.
Decompose system into units through Planning then Generation. CONDITIONAL stage.
Definition: A unit of work is a logical grouping of stories for development. For microservices, each unit becomes an independently deployable service. For monoliths, the single unit represents the application with logical modules.
Terminology: "Service" for independently deployable components, "Module" for logical groupings within a service, "Unit of Work" for planning context.
Question Categories (9 Mandatory):
Story Grouping — How should stories be grouped into units? By domain, by service, by team capability?
Dependencies — What are the inter-unit dependencies? Which units must be built before others?
Team Alignment — How do units align with existing team structure? What skills are needed per unit?
Technical Considerations — What shared libraries or frameworks span multiple units? What build system constraints exist?
Business Domain — How do units map to business domains? Are bounded contexts clearly separated?
Code Organization — What directory structure and module boundaries apply?
Team Assignment (NEW) — Which team or role should own each unit? Are there specialized skills required (frontend, backend, data, infra)? How many parallel workstreams can the team support? What is the recommended team size per unit?
Parallel Execution (NEW) — Which units have no inter-dependencies and can execute simultaneously? What is the minimum critical path (longest chain of dependent units)? Can any units start immediately without waiting for others? What are the risks of parallel execution (merge conflicts, integration issues)?
Integration Points (NEW) — What are the explicit contracts (APIs, events, shared schemas) between units? How will units be integration-tested? What shared infrastructure (database, message queue, auth service) do units depend on? What versioning strategy applies to inter-unit interfaces?

7-8. MANDATORY answer analysis and follow-up for ambiguities
If 3+ units are identified, ask via AskUserQuestion:
Unit output format MUST include parallel execution metadata:
## Unit: [unit-name]
- **Description**: [what this unit does]
- **Stories**: [assigned story IDs]
- **Parallel group**: [A/B/C/...] (units in the same group can execute simultaneously)
- **Dependencies**: [list of units that must complete before this unit starts, empty if none]
- **Integration contracts**: [APIs, events, or shared schemas this unit exposes or consumes]
- **Estimated complexity**: [Simple/Moderate/Complex]
- **Recommended team skills**: [frontend, backend, data, infra, etc.]
Also generate unit-of-work-dependency.md with:
# Units Generation Complete
[Summary of units and decomposition]
[Parallel group summary: N units in M groups, critical path = X units]
