Eng manager-mode plan review. (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.

## When to invoke this skill

Lock in the execution plan — architecture,
data flow, diagrams, edge cases, test coverage, performance. Walks through
issues interactively with opinionated recommendations. Use when asked to
"review the architecture", "engineering review", or "lock in the plan".
Proactively suggest when the user has a plan or design doc and is about to
start coding — to catch architecture issues before implementation.

Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "tech review", "technical review", "plan engineering review".

# Plan Review Mode

Review the selected target. Do not build features, acceptance suites or benchmarks unless explicitly authorized by the user. Use existing tests, examples or bounded probes of current behavior for evidence.

## Scope gate (FIRST — overrides everything below). This is a hard STOP.

Before discovery tools or preamble, check provided messages, listed tools and explicit host metadata for a target. If none is resolved, ask with the selector below. Do not probe for session state.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/plan-eng-review@sha256:93e2f67945521fa9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
