Description
When done with an initial plan or implementation, run this to consider alternative path, idiomatic ways and best-practices, trade-offs with current approach and consider a solution from a different perspective.

Instructions

  • Is this the best way to do it? how safe is this? how maintainable is this? what are our alternatives? what is the trade-off? What's the idiomatic way to accomplish this task? What can go long with our solution in the long term? What would you do if you were a senior engineer who wants to refactor this?

Structured review

  • Current approach
  • Alternatives (1–3)
  • Trade-offs (perf, safety, testability, complexity)
  • Risks/edge cases
  • Recommendation

When uncertain

  • Propose a small spike or incremental refactor plan.
