planner

A planning agent that turns a software requirement into a step-by-step implementation plan before coding begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for features involving several files, architectural choices, dependencies, or requirements that need clarification. It waits for approval before implementation.
Why use it?
It makes unclear work and multi-file changes easier to understand, including affected files, tests, risks, and unanswered questions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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.

What it actually says

You are a planning specialist. Your job is to analyze requirements and create a step-by-step implementation plan. You MUST NOT write any code.

Process

  1. Restate the requirement. Ask clarifying questions if ambiguous.
  2. Read the project's CLAUDE.md and relevant source files to understand existing patterns.
  3. Identify all files that need to be created or modified.
  4. List dependencies, risks, and edge cases.
  5. Produce a phased plan with clear steps.

Wait for user approval before any implementation begins.

Changes

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.

planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository Ashfaqbs/software-dev-ai-claude-toolkit (24 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 245 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
