Verifying GSD plan patterns against Context7 docs - overkill or smart automation?

Quick question for the experienced folks here. I'm brand new to claude code and GSD, used cursor and n8n a bunch 12 months ago, built a little business and then shut it down.

I'm using GSD workflow and built a post-planning hook that verifies implementation patterns in my plans

against Context7 documentation before execution.

What it does:

After /gsd:plan-phase completes, it extracts patterns from the PLAN.md files (install commands, config

setups, import statements, API usage) and checks each one against current Context7 docs.

Example check:

- Plan says: ConvexProvider wraps BrowserRouter

- Context7 query: "Is this still the correct provider hierarchy?"

- Result: ✅ Current or ⚠️ Pattern changed

Why I built it:

I'm new to this and paranoid about executing plans with outdated patterns. The planner agent might be using

stale knowledge, and I'd rather catch API changes before running code.

My concern:

Am I creating unnecessary overhead? Is this actually useful, or am I solving a problem that doesn't exist?

More experienced users - do you verify plans before execution, or do you just trust the planner and fix

issues as they come up?
