CEO Plan Review skill for Claude and Codex

CEO Plan Review as an AI skill. It asks for The plan, Goal metric, Team and budget and 3 more, then does the rest. Free to install in Claude or Codex.

When it is used

Use when a founder or product lead wants a blunt scope verdict on a plan: build the bigger version, keep it as is, or trim it. Do not use for detailed technical design or project scheduling. Related topics: startup, product.

What it will ask you for

• The plan (longer free text)
• Goal metric (free text, e.g. "The number this should move")
• Team and budget (free text, e.g. "People and weeks and money")
• Biggest worry (longer free text)
• Time horizon (choose one: This month, This quarter, This year)
• Appetite (choose one: Play safe, Balanced, Swing big)

How it works

1. Restate the goal and the plan in two sentences and flag anything unclear.
2. Describe the ambitious version of the same plan and compare both on impact, effort, and risk.
3. Issue one verdict of Expand, Hold, or Cut, backed by three reasons tied to the goal metric.
4. List the two assumptions that would sink the plan along with a one-week check for each.
5. State a single decision to make today.

What you get

A verdict line (Expand, Hold, or Cut), three reasons, a comparison of the plan against its larger version, two assumptions with checks, and one decision for today.

What it watches out for

• Returning 'it depends' instead of one verdict, which gives the owner nothing to act on.
• Praising the plan's ambition without tying features to the goal metric.
• Recommending expansion with no word on who builds the extra scope.
