Plan Review

---
name: plan-review
description: Use when scout-report.md exists and TDD/Build hasn't started yet. Runs four lenses (CEO, Eng, Design, Security) in parallel on the task list and produces a verdict (PROCEED, REVISE, ABORT) before code is written. Catches misaligned plans before they cost cycles.

# plan-review

> Sprint 2 multi-lens review (v8.16+). Inspired by `garrytan/gstack/autoplan`. Default-off; enable via `workflow.phase_enables.plan-review=on` in policy.json.

## When to invoke

- After Scout writes `<workspace>/scout-report.md`, before TDD/Build
- Whenever the cycle goal mentions architecture, sandbox, or kernel changes
- When the previous cycle aborted due to misaligned scope

## When NOT to invoke

- Cycle is a documented retry of a previously-approved plan
- Single-line fix or trivial bug
- Eval-only cycles (no code change)

## Workflow

| Step | Action | Exit criteria |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Verify `<workspace>/scout-report.md` exists + fresh | scout-report.md valid |
| 2 | Dispatch 4 lenses in parallel via `subagent-run.sh dispatch-parallel plan-reviewer` | 4 worker artifacts |
| 3 | Aggregator computes verdict (PROCEED/REVISE/ABORT) | `<workspace>/plan-review-report.md` present, first line is `Verdict: <X>` |
| 4 | Phase gate `gate_plan_review_to_tdd` enforces verdict | Gate passes only on PROCEED |

## Verdict semantics

| Verdict | Trigger | Orchestrator action |
|---|---|---|
| `PROCEED` | Avg score ≥ 7 AND no lens < 5 | Advance to TDD |
| `REVISE` | Avg ≥ 5 AND any lens < 5 | Re-run Scout (max 2 retries) |
| `ABORT` | Any lens explicit ABORT, OR avg < 5 | End cycle |

## Report format

First line `Verdict: <X>`, second `Average Score: <N.N>`, then per-lens reports.

## Phase facts

| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Phase | `plan-review` (plan archetype, optional, gated by `workflow.phase_enables.plan-review=on`) |
| Persona | `agents/plan-reviewer.md` |
| Profile | `.evolve/profiles/plan-reviewer.json` — CLI `codex-tmux`, tier `deep`, fan-out ×4 |
| Inputs | `scout-report.md` · `triage-report.md` |
| Artifact | `plan-review-report.md` (cycle workspace) |

## Output contract

`plan-review-report.md` — no required sections (classified by the phase runner).

## Composition

Invoked by:
- `/evo:plan-review`
- `loop` macro (between Scout and TDD when `workflow.phase_enables.plan-review=on`)

The `plan-reviewer` persona uses `parallel_subtasks` (see `.evolve/profiles/plan-reviewer.json`) — the lens sub-personas (count projected into Phase facts above) run concurrently and merge via `aggregator.sh phase=plan-review`.
