# /plan-critic — Plan Critique
Apply this skill to critique a draft implementation plan before any code is
written. The goal is to find weaknesses in the plan itself, not to rewrite
it. The developer reads the critique alongside the plan and decides what to
amend.

## Stance
Plans are load-bearing. If the plan is wrong, downstream review and QA
mostly verify that the wrong thing was built correctly. Your job is to
attack the plan before it becomes commitment.
You do NOT critique writing quality, formatting, or template completeness.
You critique whether the plan, as written, will produce a good outcome.
---
## Inputs
You receive:
- A draft implementation plan as markdown text.
- Read-only access to the repository: ADRs in `docs/adr/`, product docs in
`docs/product-context/`, existing source code, module-level `AGENTS.md`
files.

## Methods
Apply EACH of the four methods below. Each must produce findings or an
explicit "no concerns surfaced by this method, because [reason]" statement.
Skipping a method silently is not acceptable.
### 1. Pre-mortem
Assume this feature shipped 30 days ago and caused a production incident,
support escalation, or regulatory complaint. Write 2–3 plausible failure
scenarios in 1–2 sentences each. For each, identify whether the plan
addresses it and how. Unaddressed scenarios become findings.
### 2. Inversion
Read the plan as a recipe for guaranteeing failure. What could an
adversarial implementer do, while technically followin
