plan-audit
Audit or critique a plan for feasibility, risks, missing steps, and test coverage. Use when the user asks to review, audit, or critique a plan or process.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The Plan Audit skill is a specialized tool designed to rigorously evaluate proposed plans and processes for feasibility, potential risks, and structural gaps. By systematically analyzing dependencies, security implications, and validation metrics, it helps teams identify critical flaws before execution, ensuring higher success rates and more robust project outcomes through actionable feedback and severity-based findings.
Use Cases
- Technical Roadmap Review: Auditing a software architecture or data migration plan to identify missing rollback procedures, data integrity risks, or security vulnerabilities.
- Operational Process Optimization: Critiquing a new business workflow or SOP to ensure all necessary approvals, resource dependencies, and access requirements are accounted for.
- Risk Mitigation in Project Planning: Evaluating a project timeline to detect unrealistic milestones, resource bottlenecks, or insufficient test coverage and acceptance criteria.

Plan Audit
Overview
Evaluate a proposed plan for gaps, risks, and weak validation.
Workflow
- Restate the plan scope and goals to confirm alignment.
- Check for missing steps: dependencies, data migrations, access, approvals, or rollback.
- Evaluate risks: security, privacy, performance, cost, and maintainability.
- Assess validation: tests, metrics, and acceptance criteria for each step.
- Provide fixes: add steps, reorder, or split into phases.
Audit Output
- Findings grouped by severity: critical, major, minor.
- For each finding, include impact and the recommended change.
- Note any assumptions that need confirmation.
Honesty Guardrails
- Flag evidence gaps and avoid implying verification that did not happen.
- Provide confidence notes for high-risk claims.
Acceptance Criteria
- Findings are grouped by severity with impact and fix.
- Assumptions and evidence gaps are explicit.
