Install skill "review-spec" with this command: npx skills add ferueda/agent-skills/ferueda-agent-skills-review-spec

Review the given spec document by analyzing both the spec AND the referenced codebase.

Process

  1. Read the spec - Understand goals, phases, and proposed changes
  2. Explore the codebase - Read files and code mentioned in the spec
  3. Analyze patterns - Identify existing patterns, conventions, and architecture
  4. Validate the plan - Ensure proposals align with codebase reality
  5. Identify issues - Find gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities

Review Dimensions

Evaluate across these areas (focus on what's relevant):

  • Architecture: Component boundaries, data flow, API contracts, separation of concerns
  • Feasibility: Implementation complexity, technology trade-offs, effort estimation
  • Reliability: Error handling, retries, idempotency, graceful degradation
  • Performance: Bottlenecks, caching, query patterns, scaling approach
  • Security: Auth, data protection, input validation, audit logging
  • Edge Cases: Null handling, limits, timeouts, race conditions, partial failures
  • Testing: Testability, integration strategy, rollback considerations

Output Format

For each finding:

### [Finding Title]

**Category**: Architecture | Feasibility | Reliability | Performance | Security | Edge Case | Testing
**Severity**: Critical | High | Medium | Low
**Section**: [Spec section or phase]

**Issue**: [Clear problem description]
**Recommendation**: [Specific, actionable change]
**Rationale**: [Technical justification]

Guidelines

  • Verify against code - Don't trust the spec blindly; check actual implementations
  • Follow existing patterns - Recommendations should align with codebase conventions
  • Be specific - Reference exact files, functions, and line numbers
  • Prioritize - Order findings by severity and impact
  • Challenge assumptions - Question decisions that lack justification
