# Review a plan before anyone builds it

Catch product, engineering, design, and developer-experience problems before implementation starts.

## Prompt

Claude Code:

```text
/plan-review SPEC-001
```

If /plan-review runs another command, use /planr:plan-review.

Codex:

```text
$plan-review SPEC-001
```

With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:plan-review.

Cursor:

```text
@planr-plan-review SPEC-001
```

Cursor applies the planr-plan-review rule when you mention it in chat.

Parts to fill in, shown with their example text:

- The plan to review: SPEC-001

## Why this works

Plan Review runs after Plan and before Ship. It returns one verdict (ready, ready with improvements, or needs revision) and, for each material issue, names the plan section and the change that would fix it.

## Make it stick
