Use before building a feature: challenge the scope, then review architecture, code quality, tests and performance, and end with a plan to build. (gstack).

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

<!-- Generated by scripts/gen-qm-edition.ts from hosts/qm.ts and plan-eng-review/SKILL.md.tmpl, plan-eng-review/sections/review-sections.md.tmpl. Do not edit. -->

# Plan a feature: scope first, then the engineering review

Review a plan, not code: do not build the feature. If the user has not given you the plan or feature description, ask for it and stop.

**Start here.** In the repository (`cd` into it first: the shell starts in the workspace root), run with `execute` to see what already exists:

```sh
git log --oneline -10
ls
```

Then read the files the plan touches. Work through Scope Challenge, then Sections 1-4 in order; for each finding give severity, a recommendation and the alternative. Ask about decisions that change scope in one message and stop until the user answers. Finish with the revised plan: what to build, in order, the files it touches, the tests that prove it, and what is NOT in scope.

## My engineering preferences (use these to guide your recommendations):
* **Shared code:** require common behavior and improved reliability or net savings; similar-looking code alone is insufficient.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/gstack-plan@sha256:9dc375055b0efe23

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.eaf1701, 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.
