Review leverage runs research > plan > code. Lessons that arrive while you are editing can only save the line in front of you; lessons pulled while PLANNING save the whole approach. So pull first, plan small, review the plan, then code.
Plan With The Corpus is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/plan-with-the-corpus/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when designing an implementation plan, scoping a slice, starting any multi-step task, or before writing significant code — and use it BEFORE the first Edit, not after. Planning is the highest-leverage review point: a bad plan line becomes hundreds of bad code lines.
The Plan With The Corpus Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
