Stress-tests a technical design before coding: data integrity, failure modes and retries, concurrency, rate limits, test plan, with a risk matrix and verdict. Use when asked for an "eng review", "what could break?", "review this architecture" or "check failure modes".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Plan Engineering Review

## Overview

A robust product requires rock-solid engineering foundations. `plan-eng-review` stress-tests technical designs before code is written, uncovering hidden edge cases, race conditions, N+1 queries, unhandled external API failures, and missing error boundaries.

## When to Use

- After CEO and Design reviews, before drafting atomic tasks or implementation.
- When designing database schemas, backend services, or complex API endpoints.
- When integrating with external AI APIs, payment webhooks, or third-party OAuth.

## Principal Engineer Review Checklist

### 1. Data Integrity & Schema Design
- Proper normalization vs. deliberate denormalization.
- Foreign keys, cascading behaviors, indexing on query filters/sorts.
- Idempotency keys on mutations and financial transactions.

### 2. Failure Modes & Resilience
- What happens when OpenAI / Anthropic / Stripe returns 503 or 429?
- Backoff, retry policies, exponential jitter, circuit breakers, fallback models.
- Graceful degradation in the UI when background jobs are queued or delayed.

### 3. Concurrency & Rate Limiting
- Race condition mitigation (e.g., atomic DB updates, Redis locks).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/plan-eng-review@sha256:d34f426a651cf087

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.2e7e5db, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
