plan-ceo-review

Plan CEO Review

When to Use

• After a plan has been written (e.g., by writing-plans or planner agent)
• Before implementation begins — to pressure-test scope and ambition
• When the user says the plan "feels small" or "might be too narrow"
• When deciding whether to expand, hold, or reduce scope

When NOT to Use

• No plan file exists yet — use writing-plans first
• Plan has already been implemented — use requesting-code-review on the code
• You want architecture review — use plan-eng-review instead

Workflow

Step 1: Resolve the plan path

• If [plan-path] argument provided, use it
• Else scan (in order): docs/claudekit/plans/*.md, docs/plans/*.md (generic fallback), plan.md in cwd
• If multiple matches, pick the newest by mtime
• If none found, stop and tell the user to run /claudekit:writing-plans first

Step 2: Dispatch the ceo-reviewer agent

Invoke the Agent tool with subagent_type: "ceo-reviewer". Pass a prompt containing:

• The absolute plan path
• The 5 dimensions (the agent already knows them, but re-state for grounding)
• The required output format (the markdown block from the agent's spec)

Step 3: Present the scorecard

Show the returned CEO Review markdown to the user verbatim.

Step 4: Single consolidation gate

Use AskUserQuestion with the Recommended fixes checklist from the scorecard. Multi-select. If the list is empty (no dimension scored <6), skip this step and tell the user "Plan scores well on strategy — no fixes recommended."

Step 5: Apply selected fixes

For each selected fix, use Edit on the plan file. Each fix is either:

• Replace "<old>" with "<new>" → Edit with old_string=<old>, new_string=<new>
• In section "<heading>", add: <text> → Read the file, locate the heading, use Edit to append <text> under it

If a fix is too vague to apply deterministically (fails the concreteness contract), skip it and report it to the user as Unapplied: <reason>.

Step 6: Write the review artifact

Write a copy of the CEO Review to docs/claudekit/reviews/<plan-basename>-ceo-YYYY-MM-DD.md. Create the directory if needed. Include an Applied fixes and Skipped fixes section at the bottom.
