What it does

Review Plan is an agent skill from chrisblattman/claudeblattman. Review a proposed plan with a single-pass structured critique and a clear verdict. Use when the user asks to review a plan, stress-test a plan, critique a workflow, identify risks, or improve an execution sequence.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Load testing. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for academics — skills, agents, and setup guides. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to review a plan
  • Stress-test a plan
  • Critique a workflow
  • Improve an execution sequence

Example prompts

  • “/review-plan”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Objective clarity and success criteria.
  2. Missing dependencies, permissions, sources, or stakeholders.
  3. Sequencing risks and irreversible actions.
  4. Scope creep, maintenance cost, and simpler alternatives.
  5. Verification, rollback, and handoff.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12e14d4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Review Plan loads about 249 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~249

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Review Plan

Review Priorities

Focus on whether the plan will work in practice:

  1. Objective clarity and success criteria.
  2. Missing dependencies, permissions, sources, or stakeholders.
  3. Sequencing risks and irreversible actions.
  4. Scope creep, maintenance cost, and simpler alternatives.
  5. Verification, rollback, and handoff.

Workflow

  1. Restate the plan and its intended outcome.
  2. Identify the highest-risk assumptions.
  3. Separate blocking issues from improvements.
  4. Recommend a revised sequence.
  5. Call out what not to do.
  6. End with a verdict: proceed, revise first, or rethink.
