# Foundational Review

> Run the foundational review chain on a project BEFORE an irreversible decision (version freeze, format/schema/spec tag, public API or repo flip, major re-scope, or a 'should we keep building this' moment). Verdict-led review → design spec → cold-executable plan → composed /prospect → paste-ready executor kickoff. Optional --extend runs the system-design extension loop. REQUIRES an irreversible-decision anchor — no decision named → redirect to /prospect (plan pre-mortem) or /readiness-audit (surface audit). Triggers: '/foundational-review <scope-root', '/foundational-review <scope-root --decision \"<the irreversible decision\"', '/foundational-review <scope-root --extend', 'foundational review', 'review this at the foundations', 'is this the right thing built the right way'. (Code port — ADR-094.)
