# /foundational-review — "Is this the right thing, built the right way?" Run a repeatable, model-agnostic review of a project at the FOUNDATIONS — problem–solution fit, architecture soundness, product coherence — and convert the findings into a prospect-hardened, cold-executable plan with owner routing. This is the productized form of the foundational review chain (the canonical process doc this skill reads at Step 1). This skill is **orchestration + artifact templates only**. The substance — the A–F review questions, the operating rules, the failure-mode library, the pairing contract — lives in the canonical process doc, which Step 1 reads in full. Do not reproduce that doc's content from memory; read it live every run so the chain evolves in one place. **What this is NOT** (the process doc opens with this — internalize it): - **Not a code review** — code review asks "are these changes correct?" on a diff. This asks "should this shape exist?" on a decision. - **Not a readiness audit** — `/readiness-audit` checks a surface against a checklist and produces a findings list. This produces a VERDICT resting on named PREMISES plus the full execution handoff. Siblings, not substitutes (see the pairing contract in the Step 1 doc and Step 0's pairing check). - **Not a retrospective** — `/retrospect` validates shipped work backward. This judges a standing architecture/product forward, before an expensive-to-undo step. ## When to use Run it before any IRREVERSIBLE decision — the a
