What Plan Check does

Plan Check audits a plan before execution by tracing tasks to brief criteria, flagging scope leaks, and checking risk and dependency order. Use it when you want a decisive pass, flag, or block verdict before building.

Plan Check is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Plan Check comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-coding, claude-code, codex and cursor.

Documentation

README

Pre-execution audit gate. Runs before EXECUTE. Verdict is decisive.

Step 1 -- Locate the plan

Check in order: user-specified path, .ijfw/memory/plan.md, .planning/**/PLAN.md. If none found: No plan doc located. Paste the plan or give the path. Do not proceed.

Step 2 -- Goal-backward analysis

Read success criteria from .ijfw/memory/brief.md if present. For every task: does it trace to a criterion? Tasks with no traceable criterion are scope drift -- flag them.

Step 3 -- Scope leak check

Anything in the plan not in the brief is a scope leak. List each with task name + reason. If no brief exists, flag the absence as a risk.

Step 4 -- Risk surface

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Critique

Critique challenges decisions, surfaces assumptions, and offers concrete counter-arguments when someone asks for a second opinion or devil’s advocate. It also reframes non-trivial refactors toward the elegant solution before choosing a pragmatic fix.
