# Plan Document Reviewer Prompt Template

Use this template when dispatching a plan document reviewer subagent.

**Purpose:** Verify the plan is complete, matches the spec, and has proper task decomposition.

**Dispatch after:** The complete plan is written.

```
Task tool (general-purpose):
  description: "Review plan document"
  prompt: |
    You are a plan document reviewer. Verify this plan is complete and ready for implementation.

    **Plan to review:** [PLAN_FILE_PATH]
    **Spec for reference:** [SPEC_FILE_PATH]

    ## What to Check

    | Category | What to Look For |
    |----------|------------------|
    | Completeness | TODOs, placeholders, incomplete tasks, missing steps |
    | Spec Alignment | Plan covers spec requirements, no major scope creep |
    | Task Decomposition | Tasks have clear boundaries, steps are actionable |
    | Buildability | Could an engineer follow this plan without getting stuck? |

    ## Calibration

    **Only flag issues that would cause real problems during implementation.**
    An implementer building the wrong thing or getting stuck is an issue.
    Minor wording, stylistic preferences, and "nice to have" suggestions are not.

    Approve unless there are serious gaps — missing requirements from the spec,
    contradictory steps, placeholder content, or tasks so vague they can't be acted on.
