Plan Review Output Format

JSON Schema

Return your analysis as a JSON code block. Do not include any text before or after the JSON block — the orchestrator will parse this output directly.

{
  "lens": "<lens-identifier>",
  "summary": "2-3 sentence assessment from this lens perspective.",
  "strengths": [
    "Positive observation about what the plan gets right from this lens perspective"
  ],
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "critical",
      "confidence": "high",
      "lens": "<lens-identifier>",
      "location": "Phase 2, Section 3: Database Migration",
      "title": "Brief finding title",
      "body": "🔴 **<Lens Name>**\n\n[Issue description — 1-2 sentences with enough context to understand standalone].\n\n**Impact**: [Why this matters — 1 sentence].\n\n**Suggestion**: [Concrete fix — 1-2 sentences]."
    }
  ]
}

Field Reference

• lens: Agent lens identifier (e.g., "architecture", "security", "test-coverage", "code-quality", "standards", "usability", "performance", "documentation", "database", "correctness", "compatibility", "portability", "safety")
• summary: 2-3 sentence assessment from this lens perspective. Reflect the key dimensions from the lens's Core Responsibilities. This is where holistic assessment lives, beyond individual findings.
• strengths: Positive observations (fed into the review summary — never posted as individual findings)
• findings: All findings, each referencing a location in the plan
  • severity: One of "critical", "major", "minor", "suggestion"
  • confidence: One of "high", "medium", "low"
  • lens: The lens identifier (same value as the top-level lens field). Included on each finding so the orchestrator can attribute findings after merging outputs from multiple agents.
  • location: Human-readable reference to the plan section where the finding is most relevant (e.g., "Phase 2: API Endpoints", "Implementation Approach", "Phase 1: Data Model")
  • title: Brief title for the finding (used in the summary index)
  • body: Self-contained finding body. See "Finding Body Format" below.

Severity Emoji Prefixes

Use these actual Unicode emoji characters at the start of each finding body:

• 🔴 for "critical" severity
• 🟡 for "major" severity
• 🔵 for "minor" and "suggestion" severity

IMPORTANT: Use the actual Unicode emoji characters shown above (🔴 🟡 🔵), NOT text shortcodes like :red_circle:, :yellow_circle:, or :blue_circle:. The output is rendered as markdown, not Slack/Discord, so shortcodes will appear as literal text.

Finding Body Format

Each finding body should follow this structure:

[emoji] **[Lens Name]**

[Issue description — 1-2 sentences, standalone context].

**Impact**: [Why this matters].

**Suggestion**: [Concrete fix].

Example:

🔴 **Architecture**

The plan proposes a direct dependency from the API layer to the database schema
with no service abstraction. This couples the presentation layer to the data
model.

**Impact**: Database schema changes will ripple into the API layer, breaking
the dependency rule.

**Suggestion**: Introduce a service layer to mediate between the API handlers
and the data access layer.

Output only the JSON block — do not include additional prose, narrative analysis, or markdown outside the JSON code fence. The orchestrator parses your output as JSON.
