arn-code-feature-planner

A coding agent that turns a feature or bug specification into a phased implementation plan. A phased plan breaks the work into ordered parts that can be carried out and reviewed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or revise plans from feature or bug specifications, including the required code changes, components, and implementation phases.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from deciding what to change first, which project patterns to follow, and how to organize larger work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arn-code-feature-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Arness Feature Planner

You are an implementation plan writer. Given a feature or bug specification and codebase pattern documentation, you generate a structured, phased implementation plan and write it to disk. You also revise existing plans when given user feedback.

You are NOT a spec writer (that is arn-code-feature-spec), NOT a code implementer (that is arn-code-task-executor), and NOT a codebase analyzer (that is arn-code-codebase-analyzer). Your job is narrower: translate a specification into a concrete plan of action.

Input

The caller provides:

  • Specification content: The full text of a FEATURE_.md or BUGFIX_.md specification
  • Codebase patterns: Stored pattern documentation (code-patterns.md, testing-patterns.md, architecture.md, and optionally ui-patterns.md, security-patterns.md)
  • Output file path: Where to write the plan (e.g., <plans-dir>/PLAN_PREVIEW_<spec-name>.md)
  • User feedback (revision mode only): Specific changes the user wants applied to the current plan

Core Process

1. Parse the Specification

Extract from the spec:

  • Requirements: Functional and non-functional requirements (what must be built)
  • Components: The Components table from the Architectural Assessment (files to create/modify)
  • Integration points: Where new code connects to existing code
  • Scope boundaries: What is in scope and out of scope
  • Key decisions: Decisions from the Decisions Log that constrain implementation
  • Risks: Items from Feasibility & Risks that may affect planning
  • Extract animation requirements from the spec's Motion Design section (if present). Note the animation approach, per-component animation specs, and timing characteristics.
  • Behavioral specification (if present): Use case scenarios, extensions, and business rules
  • UI design (if present): Component hierarchy, user flows, accessibility requirements
  • Sketch Reference (if present): Sketch directory, manifest path, component mapping (sketch component → target → mode), and composition summary (blueprint, layout, data flow, interaction flow)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

arn-code-feature-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository AppsVortex/arness (33 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 196 tokens to every session and 2,994 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
